Can I see more commercials like this please?

First saw this commercial the other day on USA. I love it. Beautifully done and some really wonderful information. Cheers Sprint.

We all use technology, but it is still crazy to think about everything that is going on right now. So much information.

Every spring Herald Square’s Macy’s has the flower show. Throughout the sales floor are amazing displays of flowers from all around the world and different climates. The already crowded tourist hot spot is even more packed during this show. And for good reason! There are flower sculptures of animals and dresses and water displays with fountains.

But the outside window displays are not to be forgotten though. Macy’s always impresses. I was more interested in the outdoor displays rather than the real flowers indoors. This year they decorated the window displays with some stunning handmade paper flower sculptures by Eloise Corr Danch. She is Brooklyn based designer and artist. I love her work!

Top Shop is finally in the states.

While working in SoHo, I kept a close eye on what was happening across the street. The girls in the office and I watched for months as Top Shop was being built. After a few delays, Top Shop/Top Man have finally opened their doors.

While walking to work on in the morning, there was already a line outside before it even opened. My editor told me that on their opening day, there was a 2 block long line to get in. Crazy! After work on Friday. I went to investigate.

It was super crowded of course. But well worth it to see this store. The displays were beautiful! Really well designed. I love the use of hand drawn type. Lovely flower displays. Mannequins with some real attitude. High ceilings. Neon lights. Good British music. Ribbons. Collage artwork and type. Overall, the store has a great energy, mood, and feel to it.It’s busy but organized. The size of the rooms with their high ceilings give it more air so you don’t feel too closed in. They really displayed the clothes well. From the mannequins, to the hangers, it’s well done. I really liked the different shapes of the clothes racks. It’s fun. I dig it.

The customers and potential customers/visitors inside were also a sight to see. It seemed like all the fashionistas of both sexes were there in full force. It’s nice seeing hipsters in another store other than Urban Outfitters. The clothes seem over priced, but we’ll see what happens after a few months. And obviously there is no sale section yet. I’m looking forward to eventually shopping there. Like, when there isn’t a line to get in.

Cheers Top Shop! Welcome to the states!

Dunny + Peeps! Dunneeps!!! Perfect for Easter! I’m drooling over these. Drooling! Motorbot is quickly becoming a favorite great toy customizer! I love these.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

Google is celebrating 40 years of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This was one of my favorite books as a child. In first or second grade my teacher gave me a copy of this book. I love it. It’s beautiful. Now that I think of it, my love for collage could have started from there. Thank you Eric Carle!

Today I went to a job fair. It was awful. Very crowded. Very desperate. Very poor jobs. And very real.

There was a man who was following me a lil bit to each of the tables. He had worked in a very high position at Merrill Lynch for the last 23 years. He was laid off and now he is going to job fairs where Home Depot is looking for people to move lumber around in their warehouses and FedEx package handlers.

This is an eye opener. I’m glad I went even if it was pretty pointless for me. There were not jobs that pertained to anything I was the least bit interested in or could even consider as any sort of additional income or temp job. A lady asked me if I wanted to work as a security guard. That’s pretty humorous. I’m totally not qualified to be a security guard. Another guy wanted me and Steve to start selling candles in our spare time. He told us to have candle parties where our friends and family could but $70 candle holders. Right…

Desperate times. I’m not there personally, but I feel for those who are.

I found this image on dropular. It is very fitting right now.
This is work form the artist Jota Castro.

For real life.

Last week, I felt like this. –But I don’t anymore. That is the important part.

Tristan Eaton is very quickly becoming one of my favorites out of the art and design world.

I know that everyone and their mother is still talking about Shepard Fairey. But whatever! There are more street artists out there. This is not a repsonse to Fairey’s work. Tristan aton and Shepard Fairey were both working to help promote Obama’s champaign at the same time.

Check out this interview he had with Knight Pulse. He comments on all the buzz surrounding Fairey and his work. He brought up points and information that I didn’t know yet. Like the fact that the piece was given to the Obama campaign. Fairey made no money off of this piece. It’s a bit silly to sue him then.

So everyone and their mother is talking about Olly Moss. Thank you Karol for really introducing me to these great redesigns of movies and books.

Olly moss does video games too. These posters are awesome!!!! I love it all. But my favorite is for Half Life.

Great video all about information or actually what information is. Beautiful typography too.

This is amazing!

This is a DIY stop motion music video with great personality, a great story, and great insight into how it was done. Stop motion is hard. Not matter what you’re doing, it will take a long time. This shows some super fast and really perfect foam core cuts, but that must have taken hours! If you went to art school or have ever tried to cut foam core, then you’ll really appreciate this. I really enjoyed the DIY aspect to this movie.

Great characters! I loved their eyes. Everything starts out so simple and turns out to be a great little show.

I dig it. I really do. It was highly entertaining and funny. So… go watch it. Right now.

Big props to Rex The Dog.

I like that.

What are your thoughts on mister 360°?

Then this video will be happy and as a result I will be happy because I enjoyed it so much.
I love WWF.

This watch is ridiculously complicated.
Enjoy the look of having a small engine room or strange factory of time on your wrist with this watch.

Cabestan’s Winch Tourbillion watch is made up of 1352 different components driven by a 450 link chain and nickel silver drums. And it only costs $275k – $400k! (That’s more than my college education.)

Mr. Theodor Seuss Geisel would have been 105 years old today.
Google celebrated his birthday today. Great logo.

Did you know that Dr. Seuss not only drew his amazing characters, but he actually created them? In the 1930’s he began a strange method of taxidermy. His father worked for the Forrest Park Zoo in New York.  Dr. Seuss took horns or other pieces of the deceased animals and incorporated them into his sculptures of characters. Strange, but fascinating and beautiful results.

WOW.
I was almost speechless when I found this. It is just… amazing. This is brilliant.

This is amazing. I REALLY want one of these. But knowing me, I’d print some valuable information and eat it and not remember what it was or end up not finishing my bread and have either a homeless person or a rat/pigeon would steal my social security number.

I’d love to print hilarious pictures of myself or friends and have a picnic. Or print.. THIS SANDWICH BELONGS TO SAMANTHA. DON’T EAT IT. THANKS.

And the list of possibilities goes on… but printing on food really opens up a lot of possibilities. I wonder how artistic people would get with bread.

This is a great idea and I hope see it in stores soon. I enjoy the fact that it is a rounded backed chair and a round table rather than a square. I am (and I’m sure most other people are) tired of only finding square or rectangular folding furniture. I love the way the table folds. These pieces great and now more stylish way for a small space. I vote yes.

I found this on IdeaList.

Looking for secrets in the kitchen? Doubtful!

A clever way to hide the cookies, snacks, keys, or any other little treasures.

The only thing this needs is a few more real plates on top, so you don’t spoil the hiding place.
