Music is an art in itself yet this collabo by Of Montreal and Blik expands the perception of music not only in its flat square packaging but to other packaging formats as well.  In this case, Of Montreal’s latest album, Skeletal Lamping, gets visual representation through wall decals.

When you purchase this wall decal collection, you get a free download of Of Montreal’s music.

I’ve worked in several magazines before and I really envy the stylists that we recruited for certain projects.  I think the job is just so glamorous.  A little accessory here, a fuschia cap and a rugged pair of jeans there and voila, a unique fashion statement!  And I found a great stylist.  Check out Lilia’s  styling portfolio.

make something cool

February 5th, 2009

Make Something Cool Everyday is an ongoing project by an ad man who calls himself Laser Bread.  I love that he uses everyday common objects like Lego, paper, threads, an exacto knife and even chewing gum to create weird, creative and sometimes funny statements and creations.

keyman design

I’m loving these jewelry pieces by Turkish gal, Ceren Keyman.  They’re fun and one-of-a-kind.  And if you think Ceren only does jewelry, you’re mistaken.  She’s also a musician and part of the Quartet.  She also designs furniture.  That I have yet to see.

Could Be Me is a project exploring the possibility of one artist occupying another’s space. It is a visual adventure and an interpretation of the same sentence by different artists worldwide.”

Lithuanian artist Paul Paper invited other artists from all over to create original works of art that feature the phrase, “It could be me, but it’s actually Paul Paper.” Don’t you think it’s brilliant considering that over a hundred artists of different backgrounds willingly participated in this project.  I also love his photographs.

If I sketch half as good as this by Zeroten, I might have a career as a graphic artist or something.  Too bad, I can’t even draw a good orange.  But I have two Moleskines and they’re still blank.

People are just so interesting to catch off guard.  No pretensions.  No make-believe.  No lies.  Just natural.  And this project by Simon Hogsberg makes me want to know all their stories.

encouraging words

January 26th, 2009

I think when two or more people or groups collaborate on a project, the result would always be interesting.  Just so many ideas put into one pot and considering everyone is brilliant, what could go wrong?  I wish to see more collaborations by great minds  in the future.  Loving this project by booooooom.  It’s encouraging….

i love post-its

post-its

I love post-its.  And when someone does anything other than write on them, that usually blows my mind.  I could never think of other uses for post-its…aside from of course, write and post it.  Love this project by Zara Arshad.
