brought to you by the amazing site everynone, a filmmaking team located in new york.
what i love about this video is each little moment where you make the connection yourself, like between cookies and milk, art gallery and student art, lightbulb and sunlight. seriously, just watch it. there's too many to list.
just beautiful filmography

The Chocolate Room.

From Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Okay it isn't really, but this picture really does remind me of it, with the natural shapes and bright colours.

Designed by Javier Senosiain, and built in Naucalpan Mexico, this is a beautiful house inspired by the nautilus, where the dweller feels as if they move from one chamber to the next.

With beautiful stained glass and tile work, it looks like an amazingly comfortable place to live.

this. is. epic!

BRILLIANCE!

a simple mirror. or is it?

oh man, imagine the fun you could have with this.

Friday!

How could I not post this on a Friday?



This is the best version I've seen of Rebecca Black's Friday


(if you haven't heard of it, it's a song that went viral, due to poor lyrics and over-auto-tuned vocals - unfortunately the original has been removed from youtube)



Have a lovely weekend :)

Theo Jansen.

The first time I watched this video, I got to 0:17 and started shrieking, it's walking it's walking!

Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist and kinetic sculptor who creates these amazing skeleton things out of plastic yellow tubing, that walk. by. themselves, powered by the wind! on the beach (and detect things to avoid, like water)!

AMAZING work!

I know this post contains terrible grammar but I wanted to articulate the amazing-ness of the work. I know, shame on me for ignoring basic English rules. But I can't help it!

flash mobs

I know I know, I've been posting a lot of videos, but that's because I keep finding videos I want to share!
I recently took part in a flash mob dance, which was absolutely amazing and I really want to do another one soon! But in the meantime, I've found some really awesome ones!

Is this not an awesome dance, done to a wonderful song?


This one is absolutely wonderful, I love GLEE and I love the mix of songs too!


And here is a flash mob with a difference

how pencils are made

i didn't even realise i wanted to know how pencils are made until i saw this, and i'm just so amazed!
i love what you can learn from the internet!

there's a whole series: google how it's made and you'll discover a wealth of information, and how complicated it is to make the simplest of things!

mellow

the start may be deceiving, but once it starts this song is just a beautiful, mellow song to chill to.
by an absolutely wonderful band.
fell in love with their sound when they did 5 years time, and now they've released another 2 albums!

information is beautiful

i agree with that statement.
but that statement is also a website!
they create visualisations of information, statistics, ideas etc and they are beautiful.
there are too many to just post here, so i'll just trust that you will all visit the website.

you can spend hours just going through
here is a link to start you off:

Absolutely breathtaking.

A beautiful, magical animation by Ryan Woodward.
I can't stop watching it.

pancreas

theyre an important organ that we can't forget.
and some people even write songs about them!






weird al is just brilliant. he can mimic so many different music styles and his lyrics are hilarious!

Oooh oooh oooh ee-oooh oooh oooh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh-oooh oooh
Oooooh

I'm always thinkin' 'bout it
I don't know what I'd do without it
I love, I really love
My pancreas

My spleen just doesn't matter
Don't really care about my bladder
But I don't leave home without
My pancreas

My pancreas is always
There for me
Ahh-oooh




and it goes on

cubes

whilst completing my materials assignment [1, 2 and 3]
i was researching cubes and came across these funky little cubes
and they are just gorgeous and simple, yet ugh, wonderful!

they're by parisian (of course) architecture studio called atelier 37-2

each of them serves a different purpose for a french photography studio, so hair/makeup and styling and production etc

ah quotes

can i just point out how much i love clients from hell?
the website description says 'a collection of anonymously contributed client horror stories from designers.'

a few brilliant examples

"I want it to roar like lion. Like a digital lion.. Actually, let’s add a lion somewhere. Or maybe have it meow and then have a cat. I hear people on the internet like cats."
— Client sells home insurance.

"I know what I like and what I don’t like and I know what I want and what I don’t want but I have nothing specific in mind."

"I don’t have the money right now. Could I pay you with some of our puppies? How many do you need?"

sleepy time?

ernesto neto

wikipedia says:
'His installations are large, soft, biomorphic sculptures that fill an exhibition space that viewers can touch, poke, and even sometimes walk on or through. These are made of white, stretchy, stockinglike material -- amorphous forms stuffed with Styrofoam pellets or, on occasion, aromatic spices.'


absolutely delicious
does anyone else have the desire to nap?



i want a room like this one in my place someday.
