When the producer and art director for Fahrenheit 212 was asked to create some art for the company’s new office space. What did he paint? Drew Beam then decided to throw in some fun to the new space working with some of the company’s latest project and topics. Like the Queen throwing a control pad? Witty, humurous and very naughty indeed! Just like he said, “All I want to do is make you laugh.”
Are you a pin-up fan? We always love pin-up girl tattoo, we also come across a few pin-up illustration posters every now and then. But where have the movement gone? Maybe the garter-belt is not as popular now, but we do still see pin up girls as one of the favorite tattoos among tattoo lovers. Let us celebrate Gil Elvgren (1914-1980) again, one of the premiere American pin-up artists. Aren’t they just lovely?
Oh, it’s Gaga time again! This lady seems to be everywhere, now spotted on the dollars! Craig Gleason’s humor has transformed the dollar note from George Washington to Lady Gaga! Hilarious!
Made by Ji Lee, this special designed scale only tells the person what to eat rather than showing him the numerals of the person’s weight. These are so adorable!!! Now you can eat accordingly and not feel bad or worry about those huge numbers
The award winning artist and designer Enoc Armengol apparently is very good with bread. The art project Panpaati or Eating Design is definitely 100% alive and made of eatable bread! Why bread you may ask.
According to Enoc Armengol’s words: “The bread represents a direct connection with nature. Using food is the most simple way to represent forms and to create something physically, similar to what Leonarddo ad Vinci and Dali did in the past to create their prototypes or what children usually use to easily generate volumes to express their ideas.”
Check out the making of video, the art pieces look so yummy but we still can’t bear to eat them! Maybe a small little piece, can?

Introducing Ivan Navarro if you haven’t heard his name already, is an artist who like to play with fluorescent light transforming daily items into a work of art. His objectives of his work is to interact with the viewers and highlight the social and political implications that result in his compositions. One of our favorite “You Sit, You Die” is a lounge chair built from white fluorescent lights which to the artist is “his version of electric chair”.
“I make spaces in a fictional way to deal with my own psychological anxiety,” Navarro says.
This is how he shines light into his work. You like what you see?

They are so good, even doing it twice! That is what I thought of the Dutch fashion designer duo Viktor & Rolf’s project Viktor & Rolf’s Dollhouse. A really impressive way of recreated their most memorable and celebrated pieces from the past fifteen years on porcelain dolls! Each doll stands approximately 2 feet tall and the duo actually constructed a large three-story dollhouse to store the 55 miniature dolls. Again, they have made fashion history!
Take a look at those cute dolls in Viktor & Rolf after the jump!
Always admire and adore the creative team behind Comme des Garcons. They manage to turn daily ideas/items into something creative and becoming something else and never been done. This season, Comme des Garcons SHIRT campaign is definitely an interesting one. Artist Stephen J.Shanabrook applied a technique from his “Paper Surgeries” series, resulting in a very interesting visual effect. This is something we see almost everyday but never thought it would look so good. We would assume that more of his work will be presented in the clothing collection. So if you like what you see, it is time to save up.
