Memo Randoms by Jason Franzen
Jason Franzen of More Simple has successfully launched his funded Kickstarter campaign to print some vital information for your everyday life. The 18x24 prints use Heroic and Gotham typefaces. Coincidence, or Batman?!
This Isn’t a Painting
Nope. It’s a room. Full of stuff. Arranged to look like a collage or painting. Trippy stuff.
Action Figures Made Entirely From Twisty Ties
I’ve paid actual money for action figures that aren’t nearly as cool as these.

Mika: Universal Tablet Stand by Bluelounge
Bluelounge, masters of making cable management sexy, have released a new tablet stand called Mika. It can hold a Nexus 7, Nook, iPad - whatever. It can even support smaller laptops like MacBook Airs and Retina MacBooks. It clearly takes a page from the iMac’s stand design. And I’m OK with that.

I Want to Sit on This Here Chaise Lounge
This chair was designed by the late Maarten van Severen. It’s way cooler and sleeker than my giant bean bag chair. It’s probably not too comfy, but that’s not the point.

INSA’s GIF-iti Project Hits Sydney
UK artist and designer INSA was invited by The Project and Ironlak to animate a mural on the outside wall of their studio. This isn’t PhotoShop trickery, the artist actually painted the wall over and over again, taking pictures in between, to create the rad animated GIF that you see above. Crazy.

Manliest Packaging Design Ever
The Barbers Finest Gentlemen’s Care definitely wins our completely made-up award for best men’s facial care bottle design. Their mustachioed bottles of pre-shave lotion, aftershave, and cologne sort of remind us of falcons and falcons are awesome.
They get bonus points for the bow tie with the phrase “ladies first” - the slogan of any true gentleman.

The Woods by Andreas Engeskiv and StokkeAustad
Check out these blown glass trees. I wish real trees looked like this. But then everyone would probably lick them, thinking they were made of candy. They definitely remind of something Dr. Seuss would draw.
