Can You Smell It?

OMG! I can smell it just looking at this photo. Can you imagine wearing it? The scarf Fou Lard by Natalie Luder looks awesome though.

This project is called 'Impermanence', by Seung-Hwan OH. He lets mold grow on his negatives and see here the result. This art is alive!!!!! Beautifully weird.

Aerial Bold

Nice Kickstarter project. Aerial bold, a typeface of the earth.

Aerial Bold is the first map and typeface of the earth. The project is literally about "reading" the earth for letterforms, or alphabet shapes, "written" into the topology of buildings, roads, rivers, trees, and lakes. To do this, we will traverse the entire planet's worth of satellite imagery and develop the tools and methods necessary to map these features hiding in plain sight.

Do you have a pet and are you curious how it sees the world. Buy a PetCam. That's the advice of Chris Keeney, pet lover and photographer. You can buy his book 'Pet Cam: The World Through the Lens of Our Four-Legged Friends'. Read his book, buy a PetCam ... et voila!

Very nice blog. Literary Jukebox, a side project by Maria Popova (Brain Pickings). Literary quotes matched with a song.

Man Meets Woman

Yan Liu shows the truths and fictions behind stereotypes in Man Meets Woman - Minimalist Pictogram Commentary on Gender Norms. Funny, true, tragic. A man has 3 girlfriends - a real man. A woman has 3 boyfriends - a slut.
