BOO YA.

This is great for a person like me, who only ever makes it to the MoMA for openings or special exhibits, and often doesn’t have the time to really take in the breadth of their amazing collection.

See for yourself!

OH YEAH. This is all because of a firm called Stamen Design, which I heard about on some SXSW blog!

A while back I wrote about how I was working with this cool material that you could print and apply to textured surfaces. The first bits of it were just installed and it’s kind of insane how much it ended up as I imagined it in the mock-ups. The stuff really looks great and it’s relatively inexpensive.

The real deal:

The mock-up:

Not design, specifically, but I came across a website showing the work of Yukio Miyamoto.

Holy. Crap.

Those files must make Illustrator crash every 20 seconds.

Came across this great beer bottle design on NOCOT. Thought I’d share.

From Missouri based designer Samantha Wiley.

Fat Boy Slim + David Byrne + Dizzie Rascal = “Toe Jam”. Video directed by Keith Schofield. Woweewow.

Interesting back story here.

I snap off pictures of with my [touch-screen phone] when I’m walking around and I never do anything with them. So here’s a few recent things that caught my eye. What do you have in your phone?

Kate and I were walking through Potrero the other day and saw this on the underside of a condo. They must use some cool instrument that can see into the concrete and the diagram is awesome (even if coincidentally so).

DIY design, 8 year-old style. Seems effective from my limited observation.

This page just called out to me. How did it end up in a puddle at [large brick-and-mortar electronics retailer]? What the hell is it about?

Why it’s sometimes better to give people less options

Not exactly design-related in any way, but I wasn’t the only one who was stopping to take a picture of this sunset.

What’s in your phone? Make a post if you’re a contributor or send it to me.
