I ran across Kiosk’s website tonight and was amazed with what I found. It may be old news to some, but it’s new to me so I’m going to share it.
The idea behind the website is so simple, and yet so perfect. They travel across the world and find products that make you “why don’t [...]

The Desktop Wallpaper Project
Many people are completely content with the desktop wallpapers that come pre-installed on their computer. You know the type… those people who still have the classic Apple close up of the leopard print fur photo. But for people (like me) who spend most of their time awake in front of a computer, picking out a [...]

Feist performs on Sesame Street
Musician Feist is far from just a musician, she’s an artist. Probably her most famous song, 1234, has a great music video that was filmed in all one shot (watch 1,2,3,4 here).
She recently performed 1,2,3,4 with some of your very favorite fuzzy creatures on Sesame Street, but with a slight twist. Feist switched the [...]
Font Conference
I love fonts. You love fonts. What if all of our favorite fonts were people in the same room… you know US Senate style? If you can’t come up with an image in your head, watch the video below…
711 Gallery: Paradise Lost
If you didn’t make it to the 711 Gallery opening, then you need to stop slacking. The gallery is three floors, has a winding staircase, skylights, and 20 foot (maybe more, I forgot to measure) ceilings. The openings may be crowded and sweaty, but it’s okay, there are plenty of beautiful art pieces, hot girls, [...]

QBN.com, more formally known as Newstoday, is my first website pit stop after launching my browser. I go there to check on new designers, design related news, portfolios, and critique.
Both the Public Voice Network (PVN) and Public Choice are always being updated, and I mean constantly. You can actually see updates happen while browsing the site as [...]

RxArt works with some of the most renowned and respected artists and arts professionals working today to provide exposure to the finest contemporary art in patient, procedure and examination rooms of healthcare facilities.
Their wonderful team of accomplished individuals have been [...]
Chevy penny billboard ad
Most people won’t make the effort to bend over and pickup a penny from the street. Chevrolet tested this idea by creating placing a 20 foot billboard in London and covering it with over 20,000 pennies. The pennies were all plucked from the billboard in less than 30 minutes.
Chevrolet’s Les Turton said: “There have been some [...]
A print a day: weapons, rainbows, and pinecones
A Print a Day features works by Yasmine, a female artist who posts her work, you guessed it, once a day. You can download her work and use it for your own tshirts, wallpapers, or whatever else you think of using it for.
Below is some of the work currently on her site, but make sure [...]
NYC Typography
Walking around New York City and looking at signage is a thousand times better than even the best typography book. New York is a mecca of type. It’s everywhere anywhere. Up, down, left, and right.
Designer Jason Powers has recently started a Nyctype.com, a blog focusing strictly on typography from the streets of New York City. The [...]
Outside the Box, a review by Jenn Wirtz
Sometimes life is capable of annoying its subjects with potholes, roadblocks, and random police checkpoints. However, the forced alternative paths we take because of these barricades, often lead to pleasant surprises. Such was the case on Saturday afternoon. I attempted to hit all the big galleries in Chelsea, like Gladstone, Rosen, and Shafrazi; yet, my [...]
Western Spaghetti
There’s not too much to say about this video other than it’s a stop motion video of a man making breakfast and that it’s amazing. If your into stop motion then you will love Western Spaghetti by PES. You can view their entire portfolio at http://www.eatpes.com/. Watch the video below.
Microsoft Icon Quiz
While Apple continues to push the limit of simplicity and usability, Microsoft just never seems to progress. Yes, Microsoft has started to give their icons a futuristic look, but that doesn’t change mean the message is any clearer.
Mental Floss has setup a Microsoft IQ Icon Test to prove how difficult the icons are to understand. [...]
The Subways Have Invisible Mirrors
Improv Everywhere, the same people who brought you Frozen Grand Central, have just released photos from their latest stunt.
This time the group of pranksters gathered a bunch of identical twins and had them sit across from one another, creating a mirror effect. The goal was to see how long it would take for fellow strap [...]
Garbage Bag Creatures Are Crawling From NYC Subways!!!
I have a love hate relationship with ’street art’. Half of me loves seeing people think outside of the spray can by creating witty cartoons, wheat pastes, sculptures, and other creative things on the street. The other half gets angered thinking about a 22 year old Pratt student from Wisconsin sneaking out of his college dorm to wheat paste [...]
New Adidas Plant Billboard
Recently Adidas has been doing all they can to keep up with shoemaker giant Nike. They’ve been releasing everything from multicolored sneaks to co-brand sneakers such as the Lemar & Dauley x Adidas Remix Streetball 08 basket ball shoes in hopes to gain some of the hipster market.
In one of their most recent ad campaign [...]
