Marvel & D.C… Not So Different After All?
Marvel and DC have had some similar characters cross the pages of their legendary comics, but some of those similarities were never apparent until we saw Darren Rawlings collections of Marvel, and DC characters “hanging out”. Check the method. The similarities are uncanny.
The Ukraine’s Greatest Pole Dancer?
Ukraine’s Got Talent winner ole dancing is a form of performance art. Although traditionally associated with strip clubs, it combines dance and acrobatics and requires quite a bit of skill to pull off. Weather your opinion of Ms. Sokolova is that we appeal is driven by the provocative nature of her dance, or by her talent, one thing is undeniable, she’s being recognized for what she does.
“Lo/Fi” Fashion Design By Sruli Recht.
The featured “Cropped Militia Jacket” and the “Loose Sweater”, made from walnut wood material on a wool base. Once grown, the wood is deconstructed into pieces, and then attached to a textile base, creating a material that is half wood, half textile, and completely fragmentary. The “Wooden Textiles” in this collection are made with Elisa Strozyk, uniquely for this collection. The simplified look of polygonal geometry is meant to represent breaking the body down into a pixelated memory.
‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ First Trailer.
As time draws closer and closer for yet another classic movie to be re-invented on the big screen, fans of the original Ninja Turtles movies are being split into two groups. Those who welcome a reinvention of a classic franchise, and those who dread its existence. The first trailer for the new Turtles movie just dropped today, and as an avid fan since I was a young boy, I’m not sure which side I fall on. Certain facts, for example, that Michael Bay is producing, and not even directing, the knowledge that it’s a Nickelodeon movie, and that the Turtles (in the first trailer) take off their masks are all things that may be off-puting. But the true essence of brotherhood, vigilance, and the dynamics between the four main characters is all still there and in tact. So take a look at the debut trailer, and comment about what you think.
A ‘Wine Glass’ For Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola is trying to convince consumers that a specially designed glass can also enhance the flavors of their fizzy drink. Developed in partnership with Riedel, the new glasses are inspired by the curves of the original Coca-Cola contoured bottle, and are said to capture “the distinct spices, aroma and taste of Coca-Cola.”
Janet Echelman and Aaron Koblin | Google Weave
Artists Janet Echelman and Aaron Koblin –creative director at Google’s creative lab — have collaborated to create ‘unnumbered sparks‘, a monumental interactive sculpture in the sky, billowing silently overhead visitors to downtown Vancouver, Canada. The ethereal net spanning 745 feet between buildings shimmers with a vibrantly colored glow, punctuating the urban landscape as it floats above ground. Dynamic digital characteristics embedded within the aerial mesh define an engaging relationship with the viewer. Visitors with smartphones and tablets are able to paint vivid beams of light across the sculpture at a massive scale: small movements made on phones become nearly hundred foot long trails on its surface. When you look at the sculpture, you’re looking at a web browser. The team explains ‘the lighting on the sculpture is actually a single fullscreen google chrome window over 10 million pixels in size.’ Choreographed by the public in real time through their mobile devices, the soaring form becomes a crowd-controlled visual on a massive canvas. ‘Unnumbered sparks’, which premiered at the TED conference’s 30th anniversary.
Asher Roth – Tangerine Girl
Asher Roth lets the production breathe on his four and a half minute long orange-themed track “Tangerine Girl,” produced by Blended Babies. The “I Love College” emcee, perhaps still best known for that campus anthem track, often creates smooth music that makes you want to sit on a beach somewhere and admire the scenery. The lush beat is covered with a masked sample of a woman’s vocals, evoking thoughts of lemon, tangerine and a cold beer on a hot summer’s day. Roth’s second studio LP, Retro Hash, is scheduled to be here midway through this year, although we have yet to hear much about the project. We do know that it will feature more production from Blended Babies, who have also produced for Kid Cudi and Chance the Rapper among others.
Altaeros Energies
Altaeros Energies, the wind energy company formed out of MIT, announced that its Alaska demonstration project is set to break the world record for the highest wind turbine ever deployed. At a height 1,000 feet above ground, the BAT (buoyant airborne turbine) project, will be over 275 feet taller than the current record holder for the highest wind turbine, the vestas v164-8.0-mw. The BAT has been designed to generate consistent, low cost energy for the remote power and microgrid market, which is currently served by expensive diesel generators. The wind turbines will be used to power remote and island communities; agriculture, disaster relief organizations, and even military bases.
Delicious Maps of Countries Around The World Created From Native Foods
Artists Caitlin Levin and Henry Hargreaves are authors of project called Food Maps. It’s a series of detailed maps of different countries and continents, created from the delicacies for which each place is known. The United States’ map is a glorious quilt of wheat and corn. India is the richly colored mosaic of spices. Maps of Australia and Japan feature love of their citizens to seafood. And so on. These maps show how food has traveled the globe – transforming and becoming a part of the cultural identity of that place. If you like such food creativity then you should also check delicious flags of different countries also made from food.
Seabob Cayago Underwater Jetski
The Seabob Cayago F7 turns you into a much less fish-chatty Aquaman, propelling you through water at speeds up to 9 mph. You use your own weight to steer and angle the Seabob up or down, with the onboard computer display showing you your power usage, water temperature, speed, and depth. This is apparently the first jet system in the world that features an impeller; an electric-powered rotor that sucks water in and fires it out back out of the watercraft. Since no one needs a case of the bends, all underwater models from Seabob are set to a maximum depth of 2.5 meters but scuba divers can override that and set it 40 meters.
Karmin – Pulses
Pop duo Karmin (Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan) premiere brand new video for “Pulses” yesterday on VEVO. “Pulses” is the title track from Karmin’s hotly anticipated debut album being released next week. People Style Watch describes Pulses as “a great mix of party anthems and lush ballads.” The video for “Pulses” is the third video released from the album.
Park And Slide :300 Foot Long Slip-N-Slide
Creating a 300-foot water slide down the middle of a public road sounds like a very American thing to do, but nope. Park and Slide is a crowdfunding project created by artist Luke Jerram that will turn Park Street in Bristol, England, into the coolest city in the world. That’s the goal at least; to shut down the street for a day, build the slide out of plastic sheeting and hay-bales, and open it up to the public—for free. The hills in this southwest England town are plentiful (they’ve been used for soapbox derbies before), so there should be no problem generating speed.
Mark Seliger’s Celebrity Photography.
Mark Seliger is one of the most famous and most talented celebrities photographer. He shots more than 100 covers for several magazines such as Rolling Stone, GQ, Vanity Fair and many more. Here is a small compilation of his artwork, some are a little bit old but there is almost part of history.
Jennifer Lopez Ft. French Montana – I Luh Ya Papi
Jennifer Lopez flips the script by objectifying men in the music video for her French Montana-assisted single “I Luh Ya PaPi.” In the Jessy Terrero-directed clip, Jenny From The Block, gathers a plethora of shirtless men for a day on chillin including cruising on a yacht and hanging out by a pool.
Sweden’s Famous Ice Hotel
Sweden’s famous Ice Hotel, known for its individually designed suites carved out of ice and snow, is offering guests the chance to design their own bespoke suites for winter 2014. The suites, set to be available starting in December, will be made exclusively to order and guests will be involved in the design process, getting the chance to work closely with the ice and the resort’s ephemeral art. The suites will be made from the exclusive natural ice from the river Torne and feature original handmade art work. Once the client has left, the suites will be left to melt into the river with the spring. Guests will be given a bottle containing some of the melted ice, along with the sketches and blueprints for the design, and photographs of the suite. Located 200 km north of the Arctic Circle, the Ice Hotel has been a pioneer in ice art since its launch 25 years ago.
Android Wear
Rather than build the physical smartwatch itself, the folks at Google have decided to build software to help power the hardware. The search giant calls this new technology Android Wear. While it is applicable to more than just watches, the wrist watch will be the first target for the new software. Android Wear allows you to interact with your device in a meaningful way – traffic reports on the way to work, taxi cabs within the local area, weather when you wake up in the morning, and fitness tracking among other things. Of course normal smartphone functions like music player, text messages, email, and the likes will also be controlled through Android Wear devices, all by using either your voice or the touchscreen interface. Google has already revealed that they have teamed up with some of the biggest smartphone makers in the game on the first round of wearables – brands like HTC, Samsung, Motorola, LG and Asus.
2015 All-Electric Audi R8 E-Tron
When the Audi E-Tron was originally unveiled, the main concern for the German auto maker was the 130-mile battery range. Over the years however, Audi has continued to work on the vehicle, and is now getting more than the double the output, with a battery life of 280 miles. That may not seem like a ton of range, but you have to remember that the 2-door pumps out 376 horsepower and 500+ lb-ft of torque – a setup that’s good for a zero to sixty time of 4.2 seconds. The vehicle’s production will be extremely limited, and will only be sold to customers upon request. It’s definitely a good start for what looks to be a promising future for the electric car segment.
Bow Wow – Nah
Bow Wow, aka Mr. 106 & Park, steps back to the mic on his Jahlil Beats-produced track “Nah,” where he calls out posers and claims his own spot in the game. In the visuals, directed by BoyEazy, the YMCMB rapper/TV host tosses money and talks tough as a New York City skyline accents his spitting of the song’s lyrics.
Aston Martin Q Lounge Concept
Aston Martin introduces its Q personalization program at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show to provide tailor-fit cars for the most discerning customers. Q by Aston Martin is giving buyers the opportunity to customize their car inside and out with different paints, trims, leather and veneers. The nomenclature of the program has been inspired by its longtime silver screen partner James Bond whose ‘Q’ is a quartermaster which customizes his vehicles with different features and gadgets.

Akacorleone Tricks Eye Anamorphic Installation
Portuguese artist Akacorleone is presenting a solo show at the underdogs gallery, lisbon, comprised of a vast collection of installations, graffiti works and illustrations. At the exhibit’s centerpiece is the anamorphic ‘find yourself in chaos’, a richly colored circle which bears the piece’s namesake as a bold typographic composition. Comprised of various objects, items and memorabilia, the dynamic teal colored installation is optically different at every angle and tricks the eye by appearing as a two-dimensional surface when viewed straight on. Symbolism behind the work and notions addressed throughout the exhibition are described by the artist as ‘the feeling of excess of information in the brain which makes it impossible to focus on one task alone, the idea that we’re never satisfied making us therefore accumulate, the visual pollution to which we submit ourselves without questioning’. Akacorleone is currently exhibiting ‘find yourself in chaos’ and other works at the underdogs gallery.
The Nova Climbing Wall.
I have always been a fan of fitness and find the Nova Climbing Wall an interesting way to integrate workout installation into the interior design of a home. Essentially, Nova is a climbing wall with a compelling interactive interface. The wall includes panels with pattern-cut-outs, which replace the colored holds of regular training walls. Climbing routes, difficulty levels and routes are flexibly indicated through light and can be selected via the Smartphone App. When not in use, you can create a modern ambiance just by the play of lights.
Bao Nguyen’s Street Fighter Animations.
Sacramento animator/artist Bao Nguyen seems to have quite the fascination with digital Art Direction. His collections consist of logos, movie credits, and 3-Dimensional graphic design. His latest display however is a group of ‘Street Fighter’ based icons and image from the world famous Capcom title. Check the method below.
As if these colored renders weren’t enough, Bao also sported a set of moving gif.’s of his incredible work. Check the method below.

The famed hip-hop artist has self-designed Kithaus, with the help of TV host and interior designer of HGTV’s Emily Henderson, for the world’s leading community driven hospitality company’s ‘airbnb park’ venue at SXSW 2014. The temporary dwelling by Snoop Dogg is indicative of his personal style, complete with reflective gold walls printed with marijauna leaves and scalloped graphic pattern, arne jacobsen ‘egg chair’ in red leather, and a bold sign hanging above the tufted blue velvet sofa that reads ‘BO$$’ – an expression of luxury on a more humble scale. The pop-up house consists of two programs – a main living room, and a separate more private space joined by a covered deck. the landscaping and exterior details include a façade in robin egg’s blue, and a gold mailbox with ‘SNOOP’ outlined in gems.
