Inspiration comes in all forms, non? We don’t remember how or when we first came across artist Terry Border’s Bent Objects, but we’re a big fan. Terry takes mundane objects and gives them new life with bits of wire and clever sets, styling, and stories. His images are beautifully photographed and typically (and sometimes twistedly) [...]

Continuing with our theme of things that trick your eye is this log cabin-like structure. Although it appears to be a large, very well-stacked wood pile, it is in fact a moveable study/workspace designed by Piet Hein Eek for a musician. Not only does it offer a new take on a traditional log cabin, it [...]

For those of us in Texas, the above photo would be cause for alarm, or if we weren’t actually fleeing from destruction, a moment of awe for nature’s power. But actually, it’s even more amazing than that. Artist Matthew Albanese creates tiny detailed models from various materials. Through the use of various photographic techniques and [...]

We are totally in love with this new laptop case from Twelve South! The Book Book is made of hand-tooled and distressed leather to carry your macbook or macbook pro in old-world style. Its soft padded interior and rigid covers protect your laptop from damage and no two are alike. It’s entirely too clever (and [...]

They say revenge is sweet…and that it is a dish best served cold…(all these food references this week!) But we never knew it could also be so hauntingly beautiful. This series of shorts by Dutch artists Lernert Engelberts and Sander Plug were made for a 2-hour documentary on revenge and we can’t take our eyes [...]

It’s no surprise we’re fond of food around here. Sometimes we even like to make it. (This weekend we made a batch of our famous cookies!) Maybe it’s just because we’re hungry, but while trying to figure out what to post today we remembered one of our favorite food sites, Smitten Kitchen. Not only does [...]

Take this interesting quiz on Pentagram’s Web site to figure out your type. Well, your typeface anyway. IMPORTANT: use the password “character” to get in. (Although it was fun watching the guy spin in his chair while we tried to figure it out…) We are Archer Hairline (shown above). Which is great because we like [...]

We ran across these adorable espresso cups today while searching for something else entirely. The cups in this set of six from Yedi Houseware are teeny-tiny and although we aren’t fancy enough to drink espresso around here, Mrs. Creative (our mother, not our wife!) makes a decadent chocolate mousse that would just look perfect in [...]

One thing we’ve always loved is making something look like something else entirely. Not only has Elisa Strozyk made wood look like fabric, she’s actually made wood into fabric. Elisa took discarded wood veneer, cut it into pieces and created a new textile with the look of wood, but the movement and fluidity of fabric. [...]

The brilliant and beautiful short “The Third & The Seventh” from Alex Roman is a surreal look at movement, light and architecture. On top of that it was entirely computer-generated and is some of the best CG work we’ve ever seen. Take a moment to relax and enjoy it. (via Boing Boing)
