Break

Not to worry - the blog will resume early October. Image with my own text, generated with the on-line meme generator here.

I want to hold your hand...

Not photoshopped, not even a lucky coincidence: apparently sea otters do hold hands whilst sleeping, to prevent them from drifting apart. First seen here.

Note: due to our holidays, this blog is on hold for a few weeks. As usual, my main blog continues with pre-posted contributions.

Jimi Hendrix pizza

The iconic face of rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix has been made into a mozzarella and olive pizza by chefs at Pizza Express. The limited edition pizza series includes other musical stars such as Rihanna, Madonna, Jeff Buckley, and Bob Marley. First seen here.

Rhinochair

The Animal Chair collection by Spanish designer Maximo Riera has to be seen to be believed. I picked the rhino one, but the octopus one is at least as ridiculous. First seen here.

Model Airplane News July 1953

Another lovely cover of days gone by for model aircraft enthousiasts - like myself when I was a teenager. Pure nostalgia, but not artistic enough for the under cover series in Art for Art's sake. First seen here.

Tiny paper sculptures

Fantastic miniature craftsmanship by Japan's Akinobu Izumi, who creates these miniature paper sculptures and places them into miniature bottles. First seen here.

Oh no not again!

I can't remember where I picked up this gem - possibly on Fukung. Wonderful human-like stance of the little monkey, enjoying a bath in front of the photographers.

Pet bed

A lovely way to combine recycling and special design: converting old suitcases to pet beds. First seen here.

Picasso face

I know it is jsut a mask, but there is something strangely funny yet disturbing about this picture.... First seen here.

Ordered

Swiss artist Ursus Wehrli first gathered attention by deconstructing paintings into essential components and organizing these components by size and color. For his latest book he decided to expand this into the real world by arranging food, such as the breakfast bowl depicted above. Fun stuff. First seen here.

Bones

We have encountered this attractive model and this swimsuit company before, but then under special designs, based on a Darth Vader image, here. Now they appear in the Mixed Nuts category. Which girl would want to wear this swimsuit?? First seen here.
