That Velvet Look

permalink

Looking to class up the place? Consider your search over. I just came across velvetpaintings.com whose motto (I shit you not) is "Quality you can FEEL." I can't help but be hypnotized by their selection of heroes, legends, mythical creatures, rainbows and monsters all on beautiful authentic Tijuana black velvet. (Via io9)

United Nude Lo Res

permalink

The Lo Res heel is a part of United Nude's semi-automatic design method, where an object is scanned in and then generated at various resolutions. Such things happen when Rem Koolhas gets into footwear.

Domo x 7-11

permalink

While 7-11 hasn't won any awards for cleanliness (at least not the one by us), they do get props for their new Domo-themed accoutrement. Mmmm, slurpees... (Via Lovely Package.)

Unmentionable Cuisine

permalink

Calvin W. Schwabe's Unmentionable Cuisine was published in 1979 and continues to be the best of its kind. What kind is that? You'll see. Thank you, Google Books!

My Parents Were Awesome

permalink

So, once you stop hating your parents and think they're ruining your life, you start to realize 'Hey, my parents are actually kinda cool.' Then, later, it hits: That inevitable moment when it suddenly dawns on you that your parents were not only awesome, but probably cooler than you.

Sketch2Photo, which takes a labeled sketch and turns it into a photo montage, is mind-blowing, to say the least. (Via Kottke.)

Beatles Rock Band

permalink

There's finally a reason to bust out the plastic instruments again. The Beatles Rock Band is pretty much everything I wanted it to be, maybe even my favorite game of the year. You can play with up to six people, sing up to three part harmonies with three mics (Lips wireless mics work too, bonus!) and also play bass, drums and guitar all at once. You play the 45 song story through the Beatles career starting at the Cavern Club with mop tops and ending as hair farmers on the Abbey Road rooftop. I was pumped to see Harrison songs like "Something" and "Taxman" in there too since I love 'the Quiet One.' The best part about playing this was seeing non-gamer friends go from "I'll give it a try" to asking which song we should do next... three hours later.

Leandro Erlich

permalink

One of the double-take inspiring projects of Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich is this 'Shattering Door,' which looks like a moment, frozen in time, right after the Incredible Hulk got all pissed off.

Bento for Kidlet

The ideal lunch is tasty, healthful, and graphically pleasing. Don't underestimate the importance of this last one. Bento for Kidlet never does.
