Graphic designer Neven Udovičić is a student in Croatia who has created these wonderful logos for the nine Best Picture nominees for this year’s Oscars. The iconic imagery and limited color palette really make these pop. For more of Neven’s work, including some additional film posters he’s created, check out his portfolio on Behance Network. (via […]
Honestly. Would you look at this thing? I might as well pack my shit up right now and call it an artistic day. Over the course of FOUR YEARS, a Tokyo art student named Wataru Itou designed and cut out this massive paper castle. It is currently on display at a center called Umihotaru, where […]
At an estate sale last summer, for shits and giggles, I decided to leaf through a large box of maps. Best decision of the day. What, to my wondering eyes, did appear? This kick-ass 1950s-60s tour map of British Columbia, Canada. Featuring an illustrated map of three southeastern regions of the province, the brochure also […]
Method of Action is “peer to peer education for people who want to get things done,” according to the site’s owners and developers, María Munuera and Mark MacKay. The concept is still in development, but the basic idea is a new type of online education with feedback from others who are further along in the […]

This ain’t no Cracker Jack tat, my friends. This is the way temporary tattoos should be, and, under the genius that is Tina Roth Eisenberg, now are. Tina came up with the idea for Tattly earlier this year, and to say they have taken off is an understatement. By gathering a group of some of […]
You don’t really see it anymore, but there was a time when almost every movie made would appease our need for closure. Instead of abruptly rolling into the credits and some (possibly horrid) song to jar you out of your experience, you’d be offered up a nice, simple verbal cue. (image via LenhillAdvanced) Not to […]
I’m one of those people that always buys the Forever stamps from the post office. For those outside of the United States, Forever stamps were introduced by our postal system as kind of a generic stamp whose value is always whatever the current First Class, one-ounce rate is. Given how many times the cost of […]
In continuing with my current seduction by papercut art, I recently learned about the work of Owen Gildersleeve. Owen not only works with paper as his medium, but also is open to sprinkling in other bits and pieces as an experiment. Scraps of yarn, pine needles, and FOOD (nice!) come together to create his illustrations […]
