Skips transformed

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

A skip is a dumpster in England. They look a little different that American Dumpsters, but they serve the same purpose - to haul of garbage and refuse. Oliver Bishop-Young is a designer who got sick of seeing these eye sore’s every where so he started a project of converting them in a way to enrich the neighborhood: ping pong, swimming pools, half pipes or garden?

EVOL transforms urban surfaces

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

“EVOL is a berlin based street artist that transforms banal urban surfaces, into miniature architectural
surfaces through pasting. using pasted paper, EVOL transforms electric boxes, small planters and other
geometric city forms, into miniature apartment buildings and other structures. each piece of paper is
printed with a repetitive pattern of flat gray walls dotted with plain window frames. once applied to
a surface, the paper transforms the form into small building that EVOL often adorns with small
characters. EVOL performs this process within different cities and has even been commissioned to
do installations in galleries, where he was created entire blocks of miniature buildings.”

Celebrity mugshots on mugs! An obvious idea, but we didn’t think of it. Maybe starting the day with a reminder of how even celebrities stumble occasionally is just the extra lift you need to start the day.

Light and sweet?
