This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
stars - your ex lover is dead
David van der Leer
It was a competition entry to the Guggenheim’s Contemplating the Void — Create Your Own Guggenheim Intervention. Over two hundred artists, architects, and designers imagined their dream interventions in the rotunda space. Here is my favourite by van der Leer.
Shwood - The Original Wooden Eyewear | http://shwoodshop.com
A simple experiment with nature. Shwood’s in-house manufacturing process merges precision technology with classic skilled craftsmanship to create a timeless art form. Every step from veneering and precision lens cutting, to shaping and finishing is conducted in our own Portland-based workshop to promise an entirely handcrafted piece of wooden eyewear. Wood manipulation is kept to a minimum in order to showcase the medium’s natural and unique splendor. All models are accompanied by 100% UVA/UVB protection Carl Zeiss lenses imported from Italy. Polarized lenses are also available.
Urban Plant Tags by Carmichael Collective
Grow your own urban landscape with these specialty plant tags from the Carmichael Collective. Fire hydrants and benches are cool, I guess, but I’m hoping to one day grow my own Homeless Man and Youth Breakdancing Gang.

I Know That Feel, Bro by Chris Gerringer
Chris Gerringer knows that feel. And it turns out, several different characters from across the geek globe know that feel too, linking them in ways that brings them all closer together. Whether it’s mourning dead parents with Batman and Harry Potter, tight living spaces with Pikachu and Aladdin’s Genie, or the demoted scientific status of the Triceratops and Pluto. I know most (hip) people have probably seen some of these before, but Chris’ series is so endearing and so right fucking on that it deserves one last look. I hope you know that feel too.

Canned Goods
All designs available for purchase at theFLOWmarket, though keep in mind while you *are* just buying an empty can, it’s up to you to make the imaginary contents of each can real.
