36 Skaters - Down a hill. On skateboards. Human Tetris. Neon shapes. Oh just click on the link.
Barack Obama the freshman - So stark, so vibrant, so youthful.
Facebook Facelift - Have you noticed how Facebook always seems to be changing it’s look every 6 months? This would have been one of those welcome changes. Having said that, being away from my friends during this sabbatical, I’m actually very thankful for Facebook.
Reindy Allendra - Industrial Design portfolio of this Indonesian native. The KLM blimp being a highlight.
Creative Review incredible dissolving bag - This is from 6 months ago but it still remains as one of those great ideas, that I hope others adapt in the near future.

Guillin Fishermen - One of the best adverts I’ve seen for HSBC (it’s old, but I’m going through all my draft posts trying to get them below 50).

It Will Come From Japan! - Love me some Paul Pope.
The Best Part - Love this print of an alphabet made of brand logos.
Egypt / Lebanon Montage - Excellent montage filmed by another Khaled. Excellent choice of music as well.
S is for… - Awesome Superman mosaic of the ‘S’ from an action figure collection.
Alphaposter - While I’m talking about love the detail in these posters as well (obviously not as elaborate as the Colosseo poster, but lovely nonetheless).
Colosseo Letterpress Poster - Love the attention to detail of course. It’s objects like this that make design something special.

Brazilian strip by Nike - Love the concept of reusing waste in a positive way like this. Wonder when the day will come when we’re not as wasteful with everything as we are now…
Hate Mail from Third Graders - If this had happened when I was in the 6th grade and planets and the solar system was my passion, I’d be doing a lot worse than this. (via Coudal)
Be still my bleeding heart. Yesterday I saw an interview on the BBC with Jean-Pierre Jeunet, whom I rate extremely highly as one of my favourite directors. Well amidst a pretty poor interview (that guy from’Hard Talk’ really needed a kick in the head) Jean-Pierre let it slip that after ‘A very long engagement’ he spent 2 years working on the ‘Life of Pi’…basically one of my favourite books. Man that would have been AMAZING. Chalk that one along with ‘Dune’ by Alejandro Jodorowsky as the great movies we’ll never get to see.
Obviously it’s not all doom and gloom for the ‘Life of Pi’, we get Ang Lee to release his version in 2011. Can’t wait.
Mark Coleran Visual Designer - Remember all those awesome futuristic designs in movies? Ever wonder who designs them? Mark Coleran, that’s who.
@Astro_Soichi - If there’s one new person you should be following on Twitter is Soichi who has been posting breathtaking photos from space and sharing them with the world.
Movie Mr Men - This made me smile a lot. Love how he’s just constantly building this flickr set. Here are some of my favourites:
Driving in Lebanon (a user manual) - Thought I was making it up eh? Hell a whole book has been published to catalogue some of the crazy shit these Lebanese do with their driving over here. The best part of the book is in the introduction explaining that it’s not ‘bad driving’ but rather ‘superior driving skills but irresponsible conduct’.
Overcoming Creative Block - Some excellent ideas in there. One of my favourites (which I’ve not tried yet, but was actually thinking about that today) was the idea of going to a local university art library and just snapping or photocopying things from old journals to get inspiration and creating a physical drawer or scrapbook with ideas in there. I know I’ll be requiring a lot of inspiration in the coming months.
As a teenager, I was never ashamed to pledge my allegiance to this show (the original version, not the shit that has turned up this year). Up until the second year of University, this show was golden - I’m still not.
Happy 9.02.10!
Michael Johansson - Click on that link, you’ll not be disappointed (via iso50).
Radius 10 - If I was in the UK now, this would have been mine. One of the nicest calendars I’ve ever seen.
‘Walking Man’ Sculpture Sells For $104.3 Mill - Never heard of Giacometti, but I fear that says more about me and my general lack of knowledge with regards to contemporary artists than anything else, but this sculpture is seriously excellent. Not worth $104million but still excellent nonetheless.
