Eyola

permalink

Not Just A Label continues to blow our mind and introduce us to new out-of-this-world labels. For example: Eyola, a Victorian-inspired collection from fashion designer Ayole, who once worked for Alexander McQueen. This Anima Octave jacket would make a stunning Halloween outfit all on it's own. Haute stuff, for sure.

Sketch2Photo

permalink

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

Introducing Molly Young

When we profiled Molly Young a while back for our About A Girl, we discovered something we had in common: a love of snacks. Since Molly's also a talented writer, we've now taken her under our employ as the resident food expert. She'll start blogging soon, so stay tuned...

"Fixing Things," "Girls Who Dance Their Way Onto the Dance Floor," and "Being Your Token Hipster Friend," among other things. Many, many other things.

If you can't wait for the sun to come up tomorrow, linked webcams from around the world give you perpetual sunrise at the click of a mouse.

Because you never know when you'll need Avoid the Noid, Naomi Campbell or Geo Tracker desktop wallpapers. It could be soon.

Brian Lee Studio

permalink

Robot Dixie is artist Brian Lee's eight-foot-tall robot, constructed from a piano, Barbies, Tonka trucks and matchbox cars. It's like a childhood dream come true.

Missed Connections

permalink

Even if they won't admit it, most city-dwellers have at one point scanned Craigslist's missed connections, hoping that someone out there is looking for them. Sophie Blackall has taken to illustrating a few of her favorites.

This compilation of visual effects from the relatively short history of blockbusters will certainly make you want to curl up on the couch and do nothing but watch movies all day.

Ohio Is A Piano

permalink

Andy Woodruff is a cartographer, and after maping out the counties of Ohio, he made a discovery: Ohio has 88 counties and a piano has 88 keys. Thus Ohio As A Piano was born, so map out a route and listen to the tune.

Aissa Logerot

permalink

Halo by Aissa Logerot is a light-writer designed for graffiti artists. The light-writer can change colors and when the battery is low the user has to shake the bottle to renew the battery. It's like the Nicotine patch for spray can addicts.

There, I Fixed It

permalink

Sometimes when things break you don't feel like replacing parts or having a professional fix them, so you fix them yourself. There, I Fixed It details the crazy ways that people try to repair cars and furniture. Some work, some probably don't.
