Nowhere Near Here from Pahnl on Vimeo.
"With well over 300 hours in the making, more than 200 stencils involved and too many cold nights spent outside on my knees getting the shots, I am very happy (and relieved) to finally share this with you. Through the course of shooting 'Nowhere Near Here', I have dealt with curious drunks, a dog almost peeing on the camera (the irony is not lost on me, haha), the endlessly suspicious police and even someone nearly running off with a tripod.
This is street art, this is life and thank you for watching."

Fear of Flatulence.
Poor kid. What is any experience in elementary if it doesn't contain a fart or burp or a joke about one of the two?
Oh and while on the subject of farts... It was a lovely morning not too long ago (I think it was Saturday. maybe Friday) and I was having a nice chat with my beau (Eric) when somehow we got on the subject of farts (one of us probably passed some gas) and that merged to "I wonder if you can see farts on thermal cameras..." So we did what any couple would do. I youtubed it. Here is your answer:

Nom-able Art.
"Foodscapes is a series by photographer Carl Warner in which he creates beautiful surreal landscapes using various foods. Warner starts by visualizing and sketching his ideas, which are then built on a large table in his studio with the help of his team. Large blocks of polystyrene are carved and covered with ingredients in order to make the hills seen in his photos, while shallow tanks are used to create lakes, rivers, and seas. Photographs for three different layers (foreground, middle ground, and background) are captured separately and then combined in post."nom nom nom.

Street Swinging.
Street Art + Swings = One of the Most Amazing Things Ever According to Kelly (me). I can't even begin to know how I would react to swings popping up all over my city. There could be some tears, happy happy tears. Swinging is one of those things that make you (or at least me) beautifully happy every time. I get one of those dopey grins and as long as my butt isn't being pinched I could happily remain swinging and grinning for hours.
"Seeking to add some life to the drab grey pedestrian paths, artists Akay and Peter went around Stockholm, Sweden hanging 65 fun, ninja-like swings for the public to play with... it seems that joy and whimsy are necessary elements of sustainable design."

Hallucinating Morsel.
I am pretty sure this is as close to being high off hallucinogenics as I will ever be.
Vintage Listing.
How blissfully perfect is this retro radio? When I first saw the EVOKE Mio by Orla Kiely I thought it was just another amazing thrift store find someone else had the luck to find, and I was doomed to wander through thrift stores in search of my very own radio that of course this person would have scored for $2 and in perfect working order... but this. This is something I could buy (assuming I had money to do so) and it has all these sweet features an actual vintage radio wouldn't have (obviously).
"More than just a design exercise, EVOKE Mio by Orla Kiely sounds fantastic too being based on own multi-award winning EVOKE-1S. It is packed with features too, including digital and FM radio, an input for your iPod/MP3 player, Intellitext and textSCAN, a striking auto-dimming OLED display, an alarm, a kitchen timer and a USB connector for future product upgrades."

Pixilation Project.
DAY DRUNK from Eric Hanus on Vimeo.
"The project was shot on a Bolex NonRelfex 16mm film camera. It was done this spring along with Jeremy and Russell (in the credits) for an Advanced Experimental Film Production class. Instead of going for an abstract, art-house type project, our goal was to create a narrative using a rarely seen experimental technique; pixilation. Since the camera is designed for 16mm motion pictures, we had to disengage the motor and manually trigger the camera to advance one frame at a time." Eric Hanus

Because Apparently It's a Love-ly Monday...
If Rube Goldberg Proposed.
"At nearly eight minutes, this video is certainly….long. But, much like with any Rube Goldberg experiment, the payoff is that much sweeter. It’s not just about the final result (guy builds machine, guy asks girl to marry him, girl says yes); it’s also about the process. This dude was so excited to ask his girlfriend of nine and a half years to marry him that he turned the proposal into an outlandish sport. I like that. He wanted to impress her, and he even queued up the Rocky theme song to celebrate the victory. What surprise could be cuter than that?" Wedinator
Aww.
LEGO Love.
I think... I love everything about this save the date. I think.
I know I love the song, it always reminds me of my beau... and my Barcelona roomie who first introduced me to it. Then I love every video made with LEGO people, having made a lovely one myself with my other roomies. It is stop motion, and since that involves photography, well I love that too.

No Dripping Here.
"The purpose of the Mohock Smart Umbrella is to get rid of disposable bags for carrying wet umbrellas and making sure you don’t lose them. The first achieved with a handle redesign, where it’s thick and wide enough to take in the dripping water by placing the umbrella upright. And to ensure that you don’t forget it anywhere, a unique top attachment has been crafted, so that you can hang it off a table. Love the attractive colors that it comes in, plus the three-fold and two-fold options. One question Mr. Designer….when can I buy one?"

Picturesque Stairs.
This colorful staircase is made out of 600 meters of picture frames by Stuart Haygarth. While I may find this pleasant to look out I cannot help but think "but you can't hold the hand rails!" So thanks 'Giant Oil Company' that used to employ me for always drilling (ha drilling...) into my head "Safety First!" and what does 'Giant Oil Company' believe is the number one safety rule? ALWAYS HOLD THE HAND RAILS!!! but despite this I still would love to trip down these colorful stairs.

"How cool is this family? And who just thinks: "I'm going to send some stuff to space."-- "NO, it will freeze!"-- "Nah! We will just throw some pocket handwarmers in the craft and it will be fine." I love how simple and matter of fact their approach to everything is. Think about how their kids view "space" now compared to the kids that grew up watching the shuttle program roll out. AND It was refreshing to see a father do something with his kids and a weather balloon that wasn't desperate and creepy."

Drunk Drafting.
This pavilion, made of 33,000 yellow beer crates is located on one of those tricky round-abouts other countries seem to love. Click here to see more pictures!
Effective lighting gives the cavernous interior a rather chapel-like mood, with creatively stacked crates forming elaborate columns. Various monitors and projection screens display film recounting the sights, sounds, and feeling of the original event. And even when guests are done checking out the exhibitions, all they need to do to pique their fascination is to look up – the light filtering through the thousands of beer crates is like an art show in itself!
