CUT MILANO hair saloon
Cut Milano, a hairdressing saloon in corso Garibaldi 50 Milano.
Designed by juanco and me in the summer of 2004.
The place doesn’t exist anymore as it has moved.
These crappy pictures is all that’s left…
Ta ta dadada ta Ta
Mix equal parts VR architecture with Coltrane… You get Giant Steps.
Automatic Design
Design #3617837571
It’s a unicycle that folds out into a tent! It explodes when dropped.
Baby on the Way
Been keeping such good news close to my heart for a while now.
We have a baby girl coming by the end of may.
Her name is Fiona, and we are much too happy.
She’ll have her own domain soon!
Good old friend Bernardo made this image to celebrate the fact.
Thanx buddy.
Pixel Building
Pixelfonts are so very 2000′s cool. If you want to make your own head over to BitFontMaker where after clicking each and every pixel, you can download it for Win/Mac. If on the other hand you are an impatient bastard like I am, get Kottke’s excellent silkscreen fo’ free.
Not Pleasantville
The color photo was invented in 1903 by the Lumiere brothers, and the French army was the only one taking color photos during the course of the First World War.
Long Live The King
Soooo, you want eternal life? Alex Chiu can give you just that. Pretty simple you wear this thing, you live.
The Times They Are A-Changin’
50 years ago if you wanted lobster you’d have to fish it yourself… Now you can get one while playing a game with your dinner!
Peel the Layers
The Wurst is at it again. They sent each artist a set of nesting dolls, and evidently each came up with a different take. Cool.
Round and Round
Time lapse with lots of rhetoric. Their Circular Life.
Solder n’ Chips
If you are reading this, you have a motherboard within a 4 feet radius. Have you ever thought how they are made? Show me the process.
Real Mccoy
We all know that electronic music and hip-hop sample the hell out of old music… But what I didn’t know is that some songs are the same. They may add a little flourish here and there. WTF? I’d be embarrassed if I were Fatboy Slim, Portishead, or Dee-Lite. Go listen to the originals!
Sad But True
Have a pressing deadline from your editor. Need a scoop?
Make your own.
Stone Carving
Ahhh…So many beautiful places, so little time, and money! The Kailasa Temple.
Walking on the High Wireframe
Cristobal Vila is one kickass lone-gunman of a 3D artist. He makes 3D animations that can make you feel you’ve chosen the wrong profession. Isfahan, and Snakes.
Heavy Rock
I am always mentioning to people that we are not destroying the world, we are only destroying our civilization. The Earth is one big, hard, rock. We aren’t. If you are still interested, Sam’s Archive has an excellent tutorial on How to destroy the Earth. (via Waxy)
Mighty Fuck of the Beyondness
You have to give it to Bloodninja for being the funniest cybersexer on the internets. I first saw this in Harper’s Mag. (NSFW Text)
Unfold and Wear
Is this foldable hat cool, or what? You look like a complete dork with it, but I want it nonetheless . Cheap too.
Finger Puppets
I love Lejo. Click on GB in order to see the site in English. Watch the videos! (via Mefi)
Cimitero
Yesterday, Juanco and I went for a little research: We started at a fabulous Dali exhibition featuring sketches and illustrations he did for various books. Dali only made us hungrier for more stimulus, so we ended up going to the amazing Cimitero Monumentale of Milan. It is a vast cemetery filled with the most amazing tombs you’ll ever see. Lavish, complex,and creepy at the same time it should be a stop if you come to the city. Here are some photos… They don’t do justice to the place, but hey.
Caffeine Squirt
Wanna make a cheap espresso machine? Engadget shows you how…
M.C. Click
Escher must be dancing around in his grave… after devoting so many years to formulas, tessellations, and art, along comes EscherWebSketch. It does all of that with the move of a mouse. Wow! It’s truly fun to draw with. Fun for the whole family… M.C. is still the king though.
Optic Nerves
You think you control your eyesight and your brain, right? Wrong… Take a look at these wonderful optical illusions with demonstrations.
Mad Genius
I’m off to see a Dali exhibition to search for a bit of inspiration… You can do the same by visiting Virtual Dali!
Fantasy Flight
Sometimes I think the most interesting airplanes are the ones that never got built. Some of these were schemes that were too visionary, some are found in fiction, and some were practical aircraft that lost out somewhere between blue sky and finished prototype.
Marbles
Wild-ass spherical photos…It’s a small world after all!
MOBILSERVICE Fair Stand
Juanco and I designed a fair stand for MobilService, a company that makes bent plywood furniture with printed graphics. The idea was quite simple: We wanted to make a house, where everything, including the chimney was printed on a flat surface…Sort of like a pop-up book house. This is the result… The first image is a render of the whole thing. We are quite proud of the chairs (red), they came out looking nice. The dark ones are last minute inventions by the company, so we bear no connection…
One last thing: the place looked better than the photos suggest!
My camera was not working properly at the time, and I hadn’t realized it.
1 pixel = ~1,000 km
For those who have been following this blog for a while know this is what drives me crazy with joy. The Solar System In Scale. Scroll slowly please!
