No Smoking (please).
Image via ffffound
Artist Daniel Eatock has an art and social exercise going on where he's asked readers to submit their own vectorized take on the No Smoking logo (usually a cigarette crossed out by a red circle and stripe). All designs can be downloaded now and used wherever you like and when he reaches 100 designs (he's not far off), he's going to make a poster. You may even see a couple designs done by my good self.
Horror Frog.
I may have a sore neck and painful face from the stress of living but I can't break my own bones and puncture my own skin in order to defend myself. But this hairy and scary frog can! When under the risk of attack, the Trichobatrachus Robustus has the ability to go all X-Men on itself as a last ditch effort to stay alive. More here>>

Bottle-Ooooh.
I've been trying to locate this recycled bottle ceiling in downtown Rundle Mall over the last couple days, but without luck. However, thanks to this article I just discovered on Coolhunter, I'll at last be able to find it in the new Aesop store.

Bob Staake - Illustrator.
Bob Staake's site is worth taking a look at if you're into illustration and children's art. Bob's been in the game for a while - evidenced by his completion of some 42 books! And a little gem Bob has on his How Magazine rated site, and that appears to be expanding, are these little crops of some nice retro art. This is just a snippet of some favourites.

Rotating Sphere Lounger.
This garden structure from Ornate Garden would be perfect for games, drinks, parties, reading a book and sex. At a cool price of £6'700 why wouldn't you?

Inflation Bubbles.
I had this weird dream last night where petrol was about $1.80 a litre and milk was no longer being produced anymore because of high costs to the land as well as the cattle owner. And today I came across a nice little interactive graph that shows average consumer spending in America Vs changes in prices and it conveys this pretty well. I'd like to see one for Australia too please! View the online interactivity here>>
This is Steampunk!
I've loved this type of stuff since I can remember but I never really knew that it had a name - Steampunk. Steampunk basically depicts a different age, perhaps sci-fi or fantasy or even an alternate history where steam power (and not electricity) prevails. It's often set in Victorian England or in worlds that might reference Victorian elements. As a genre, Steampunk started some time in the 80's. But as our global interest in alternate energy sources and different ways of being in the world grows, so too is the rise of interest in Steampunk. Here's a few more examples of Steampunk you may or may not have seen. Beautiful stuff.
