A month ago I had never worked with vectors, the idea of working with vectors scared the crap out of me…But I’m slowly gaining more confidence, and I am now able (to some extent) to use them.

And so I’ve been fiddling for the past few days with this:

What do you think?

Introducing Half Pants.

What. The. Hell? Bernhard Willhelm is Hawking these things for $170 (a bargain seeing as they where on sale for $340) Described as

“Half pants, half shorts in a combination of camouflage and blue & white pinstripe. front and back pockets. Zip fly.”

Even Lady GaGa wouldn’t wear these…

D&AD one of the most well known design websites/competitions/groups have discovered chat roulette. Now I understand what you’re thinking; I don’t want to see Saatchi’s genitalia either…

“Chat Roulette, (in case you have been living in a box) is new website that brings you face-to-face, via webcam, with an endless stream of random strangers all over the world. Sadly, it’s notoriety isn’t really due to it’s ability to make meaningful connections and bring people together: statistics show that the site is 89% male, and you have a good 1 in 8 chance of encountering a penis.

We promise this won’t happen in Creative Roulette.

In Creative Roulette (brought to you by those lovely folks at A + B), creative professionals and industry pros are locked together in the creative roulette room and given the opportunity to chat with chaps like you, the graduate.

Creative Roulette is all about networking- establishing relationships with people in the know. It’s an opportunity to find contacts (not a job) that can dole out some wisdom and potentially help send you and your work in the right direction.

You click the button and get the chance to have a five-minute chat at random with anyone else in the room. It could be your artistic hero, a reputable studio manager, a freelancing professional, a recent graduate… It could even be someone just like you.

As with regular Chat Roulette, you can ‘next’ someone at any time if they’re boring the pants off you. But equally, remember that they can do the same- not an ego boost when chatting to that superstar designer whose attention you’ve been trying to grab for months.

So, in the rather limited time and with rather limited resources, what can you do to get the most out of this amazing (and slightly bizarre) creative conversation game?”

So, I’ve shown you Edward Cullens pants and RDJ as a pin up. “What can you do to top that Lauren?” I hear you cry, well, I’ll tell you: Now I hope to shed light on a question that has plagued mankind since the dawn of the internet:

What happens when you challenge a fantastic comic illustrator to draw 200 bad comics?

You’re Welcome. (Find the other 195 Here)

One of my favorite things about art is the way that designers, artists and ‘creatives’ see the world. Where some people see only scaffolding, others, like Luzinterruptus, see an opportunity.

“Walking through one of the most commercial areas of Madrid, Calle Preciados, our attention was drawn to these yellow balls which are put in place to avoid accidents with scaffolding joints.

There were so many of them installed that the gigantic, threatening metal tube structure had acquired, thanks to these striking points of color, a much more pleasing aspect and therefore we had the urge to stay and investigate the strange objects that people walking by were introducing into the holes.

And one warm night in July we decided to make them more visible so that people would notice, like us, what these insignificant, common objects brought to the aspect of a street under construction.

For our installation Urban Nests, we only had to populate the balls with 130 colored birds, that we left looking into the street from their makeshift homes in the scaffolding and of course light them, to achieve a warm, cozy atmosphere throughout the scaffolded area, inviting one to remain and contemplate such an unusual habitat.”

This is a really, really Beautiful project. Please go look at the ten stunning photographs Here.
