Quite possibly one of the best print ad campaigns I have ever seen. FCB, Johannesburg absolutely stuns with this simple, perfect campaign for Lego.

yakuza table

The Yakuza Table from Reddish is absolutely gorgeous. Traditional Japanese Yakuza tattoos cover the simple wood design. I have no idea what it costs, but I want it.

Burning Safari

This French animated short film, Burning Safari, is pretty great. I don’t speak French, but it appears to be a piece from a student of the Gobelins school of art (is that a place?). It doesn’t matter, Monkeys vs. Robots, what more could you need?

VW IROC unveiled

Volkswagen officially unveiled the IROC concept car, due in showrooms by the end of 2008. They’re calling it IROC, but really it’s the new rev of the Scirocco (which later became the beloved Corrado.) Lost of speculation about price and engine, but it looks like it’s going to be great. As is typical with VW, […]

skype

The gecko from under my ass is alive and well. I know that because last night while I watched TV, he kept climbing out from behind the TV cabinet along the wall. He is very alert, and VERY fast. The second I even moved my head, he would dart back behind the cabinet in fear. […]
