I <3 Illustrations by Yulia Brodskya

These 'papergraphic' illustrations are so gorgeous that I had to post about Julia's talent of scrolling and crimping paper into 2D/3D works of art and craft.

Oldsjö Hultgren Design

Living in a tiny townhouse, I don't have much of a backyard but what little I have, I would love to pave with paving stones by Oldsjö Hultgren Design. There is an Escher-esque quality to their designs, whether it is their tiles, paving stones, lights, or carpet. I love that they can be configured in multiple ways.

Hope this brings a smile to your face this Easter: The Washington Post's Peeps Contest

Pre-Easter, the Washington Post holds a contest encouraging contestants to make dioramas depicting current/historical events or pop culture with Peep candy poofs. Every year I marvel at the level of creativity and secretly plan to make my own. What would I make? Maybe I would go with a Weird Science,Tron, 300, or Twilight theme. In the meantime, here are some of my favorites. Head over to the Post's site to check out the last two years of contestants.

If this last picture doesn't look familiar to you, check out the viral video that inspired this diorama.

Daniel Loves Objects

I'm in love with Daniel Loves Objects furniture designs!! Recently Core77, one of my favorite industrial design sites, wrote a post on Daniel and his modern yet whimsical creations. I would love to post more pictures, especially of his Forbidden Fruit Lamp and Cactus Humidifier but I haven't installed Photoshop on my new Mac. In the meantime, to check out all of his designs click here to see his porfolio on Coroflot.

In Slumber...

If you enjoy artists like Adele and videos like her artistically original Chasing Pavement, here is another creative and soulful video for you to feast your eyes and ears on.

PS Sooner or later I will stop being lazy and post more than my ipod playlist. Promise.
