no picture this time, just links of other people being cool

Art

• Ara Peterson makes optical illusions in person! Kinda makes my eyes swim, in a cool coloury sort of way.

• Adam Ziskie makes some groovy art - especially digging "the glass fiddle", not to mention the Willy Wonka quote. Pure imagination indeed.

• More mega cool art this time by Nick Cave (not-that-one-the-other-one), named soundsuits, which are basically explosions of YAY. *nods sagely*

• This was my wallpaper at work until my boss, The Professor (that's what we call him, seriously) asked what it was - I said it relaxes me and he snorted (he never snorts - very odd) and said he thought it was more exciting than relaxing. *blinks* Ew. Ok. Still, Melissa Haslam has some gorgeous stuff, and I just want the kitties.

• Trees. I love em. And I love Bryan Nash Gill's tree relief prints.

• Sweet simple art by Blanca Gomez, especially like the monsieur ones.

• I love the 3D art here - especially the elephant who can move his legs with the knobby things on the side

• Various designs and art about love/sex. Love the hide-away sex toy in the lamp.

• A cool collection of art made from obsolete technology.

• Microsoft becoming cool? Check out these brilliant wallpapers that are rumoured to be part of Microsoft 7.

• Hee, knit your own Mr. Peen.

• I love Gallery 1988 - and this show Beyond The Page re-looking at classic texts from our youth is full of wonderful stuff.

Stuff for Tea

• These tea towels are pretty and make me feel studenty again. I kinda miss being studenty dammit.

• Apparently these beautiful kettles are called Lady Cadogen teapots, and I want, allthough I secretly know they'd get all mucky with sediment in like, 5 minutes. Still purdy.

• Yet another tea kettle - the all in one - of course, what I like most about it is how the graphics appear only when it's hot. Me and my love for hyper-color changing things. I'm such an 80's child.

Furniture-ish Art

• I love these chairs - I can just imagine curling up in a chair of flowers - seems so relaxing.

• I think these crochet lamps would make such pretty light. Of course, my tel aviv apartment would ruin the whole clean-white thing. But still.

• Love these chairs, although I have no idea what they're made of since I can't understand a word on that site. But still it's a pretty chair.

• This cloud shelf is wonderful, as well as the stuff on it. Yay ugly dolls.

• More pretty light fixtures - this one from paper maiche.

Various Other Stuff

• There are 3 things I love about this thing - the magentability (*insists on word existance* ) of the box it comes with, and of course the flexy nature of it, and that it's a magnet. Who doesn't love playing with magnets?

• I really want these mosaic fridge magnets - I'm imagining hours of fun, alongside hours of frustration for not getting it *exactly right* :)

• Feeling sorely without a *home* these days, maybe that's why this concept of mobile houses on wheels appeal to me.

• Bunny jewlery with various weapons of destruction. Yeeesss, bunnies = equal mass destruction. *blink*

• I don't know what to call this, other than "weird plant thingo"

• A dark depressing first dictionary.

• A nice paper card with a popup flower.
