Alphabetised Bible


Not entirely sure what this piece is about by Tauba Auerbach but I'm assuming it's along the lines of everything that's in the bible isn't true so it doesn't matter whether you can read it or not. Or maybe that if you have complete and utter faith in Christianity, it doesn't matter what order the letters are in, they are still the words of God. I like it though, whatever it's about.

Matthew Cusick - Images that don't exist




These are some quite amazing uses of maps. I know these 'road' ones above aren't real places but if Ordnance Survey did an equivalent of Google Street View, it would be incredible if it looked something like these.

Badminton 2011





Went to Badminton for the first time this year and thought it was great, don't have any preconceptions about the type of people you might expect to be milling around, if you want to see an animal doing what it is fully capable of, this is the place to see it. The power of these horses is immense, a really great day out (the sun helped).

Kacper Hamilton Drinking set



Designed for Ballantine's I think this is one of the best looking drinking accessories/sets/essentials I have ever seen, especially in relation to whiskey.

I think these images put the devastation in Japan into context more than most

This is brilliant.
Robo-Rainbow is one of Akay his “Instruments of Mass Destructions”, a.k.a. “complicated technical solutions to aide in simple acts of vandalism”.
