iPad light painting - Making Future Magic

Making Future Magic: iPad light painting from Dentsu London on Vimeo.

This is awesome...I can just about grasp making the words, but as far as making the abstract shapes spin, change and move in all directions, my head just can't bend that way.
This is waiting to be raped by a massive ad agency.

The Reluctant Father

Phillip Toledano's photographic diary of the first month he was a father. Genius funny. Here's the caption that accompanies the picture above:

Some men deal with their baby rage by drinking, or playing video games.

I made plates.

I thought this was high comedy, but Carla was not so amused.

For the longest time, when people asked to see a picture of Loulou, this was what I'd show them.

I liked not showing the usual cherubic photo. An adorable shot of Loulou poking her head out of a casserole pot, or something similarly bilious.

Does every baby picture have to be sweet and beautiful?

Crying is as much a part of it, if not most of it, at the beginning.


Read the whole thing, it's very good

nendo: thin black line

A collection of black wire furniture by Japanese studio Nendo will be shown at the Saatchi gallery in London later this month.
The collection also includes a clothes rack and all are intended to look like sketches.....mission accomplished. The chair (above) certainly achieves this and I love the boundary it crosses between practical furniture and sculpture/art. I wonder how comfy the chair is?? but also in a wider context, does the fact that it's going to be presented at the Saatchi gallery make it more art than furniture? If they let you sit on the chair then maybe its furniture, if not....then art? Or if the chair isn't comfy, then does it become art by default as no-one will sit on it anyway? Or is it a case of what the intention was when it was originally designed/made; I guess it's still furniture if it was intended to be uncomfortable from the idea's conception.
