Ben Boutwell and Steven Alan shot this short film in Hawaii using frames and it’s pretty silly.

Esther Stocker’s Geometric Rooms
Italian installation artist Esther Stocker has created some new geometric environments for people to explore and wander through. Apparently, each piece was constructed to follow a very specific equation that includes linear patterns and planes enabling a transformation of a physical pace.

Spare Time
Now that spring break has officially hit, I have had some time to return to my old Designer Doodles coloring book. I know it looks like it’s for children, but I actually think it was made for very new and aspiring fashion designers. I used to color through it just as a way to relax and to put up on my inspiration board, but months have passed by and that still hasn’t happened. Hopefully, we’ll find it on my desk top soon!
Yow Yow! Reads A Bedtime Story
This is horrible, but I mean that in the best way possible! The book above All My Friends Are Still Dead is a sequel to Avery Monsen and Jory John’s best selling book for anyone, but children – All My Friends Are Dead.
It’s kind of like Go the F*uck to Bed, yeah?

New Discoveries
photo cred | Bobby
Today, Alexis introduced me to Draw Something and let me play around with it while she was working. I’m starting to realize more and more every day how much I am missing out on life without having an iPhone. Do any of you have the app? I just realized after looking at their Facebook page that I am nowhere near as talented as other users. Today I drew a ruler and butchered “Home Run.”
Pantone Tarts
Using Pantone color swatches as inspiration, French food designer Emilie de Griottes created mini tarts for a feature in Fricote. These dessert tarts are just so pretty! Click here to view the rest and lust over these delicious images.
The best part of all is that the recipes will be revealed in their issue!
One Sculpture A Day Keeps the Doctor Away
I absolutely love learning anytime someone has a unique yearly project that are keeping up with every day. Participating in this kind of project takes patience, dedication, and stamina. Several years ago, I did Project 366 and it was probably one of the hardest and most rewarding things I’ve ever done taking a picture everyday for a year and documenting my life. However, my task is nothing like the task that David De Tschamer is going after by creating one sculpture every day. He started it in April 2011 so he’s almost done, but I would imagine that keeping up with this has been kind of tough! Check out his work here.

The Middlest Sister
My brother and I have gone through a string of shenanigans growing up. The slightly normal events were captured in photographs, but the weird ones weren’t so now they’re just a fleeting memory. Photographs are great and all…but they just don’t cut it sometimes. That’s why I am loving this new blog The Middlest Sister in which Nicole Belanger Smeltzer recalls some of her favorite memories with her and her four sisters by creating this comics out of recycled paper scraps. Adorable and entertaining.

Subcultural Tribes of the 21st Century
We can no longer pass people on the street in Capitol Hill and categorize them as hipster or non-hipster. My friend Rachel and I actually made the terms to distinguish the two types of hipster we were currently and we are basically at two different ends of the spectrum. In reality, there are a number of subcultural tribes that exist right now and Your Scene Sucks has defined them portraits and descriptive words. Check out all of them here.

MANteresting
With all this buzz swarming around Pinterest now for the past couple of months, I’ve been wondering what the guys have been up to. Are they feeling jealous? Left out because they don’t have a site like Pinterest for them? Well luckily, somebody recognized this need and is trying to get a site called “MANteresting” going for the men who want to pin and have boards just like everyone else.
I think it’s the tag line that gets me the most.
“MANteresting – Interesting. Man. Things.”
Men, what are you waiting for? Get pinning! Get inspired!

Half Graffiti Hotel Room
Graffiti artist, Tilt, has recently created a masterpiece out of a French hotel room. One half of the room is completely done in graffiti and it looks AMAZING. I can’t even begin to imagine the patience and time it took to get this right. This piece of interior design along with five other pieces can be found at the Au Vieux Panier hotel in Marseille, France.

Work With Me, Mentee
Hello readers!
If any of you have been wondering why I haven’t been as present on the blog this week, it is because I have been slaving away on one of my final projects for the quarter. This end of the quarter type project w/ a paper is one of the last projects I will ever have to create and present in college. It’s all very emotional. I recognized that this opportunity to create something that was 100% me was rare and knowing that, I wanted to put forth my hard work to design something that I could be proud of. From here on out, it’s all group projects and in those instances it becomes a little bit difficult to make sure that everyone has their spin on things.
The prompt had me research what management students could do with a management degree and asked me to propose a new idea that would get management students to become more excited in researching their possibilities.
The layout of my board and chalk writing was inspired by the lovely and talented Bri Emery – founder of Design Love Fest I also tweeted a picture this morning of my posterboard to Bri…
This basically made my day. Click the cut for more images of my poster board!
And Everything Nice
For the past couple of weeks, I’ve become a little bit wedding obsessed. Okay – truth – a lot wedding obsessed. What was I supposed to do? Completely ignore the Four Weddings marathon on TLC this past Friday? HOBviously not. It is something that can’t be helped. Thanks to Doobybrain though, I think I’ve moved onto…a new subject at least for now.
Three weeks ago, Joel Jensen published a short video to introduce his newborn daughter Sophie Even Jensen.
Prepare to have your heart absolutely MELTED.
