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?

This Happens:

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.

Steam me up, kid has to be one of the funniest blogs on the net. And so faithful readers I introduce you to its creater Becky:

“Oh, you don’t want to hear about me. Shucks. Ok fine.

I have an enormous forehead.

I am currently obsessed with Battlestar Galactica, and now that I’ve finished the entire series, I feel a great sense of remorse because I miss all my friends from the Galactica, especially Starbuck.

In terms of maturity, I’m lagging about ten years behind. It’s kind of creepy.

I love driving and listening to music and daydreaming.

I don’t care about any bullshit crap. Clothes, cars, reality tv, gossip, use of poor spelling and grammar, whether my ass crack shows, being too fat, being too skinny, who’s screwing whom, etc. If it won’t matter in a hundred years, it doesn’t matter to me today and I’m just not interested.

HELL YEAH on that last one! *airpunch* NOT INTERESTED IN UNIMPORTANT CRAP!! Woo. Yeah. Okay. Now, what was I just doing? Oh yeah. *publishes post about quifs*

(I do very much care about not-bullshit crap though.)

I have always had an over-the-top sentimental nostalgia for the 80’s. Currently, I have goopy feelings for Phil Collins, particularly “Susudio” and “Invisible Touch”.

I have 4 dogs. One of them is made of ashes now, but I love her just the same.

I spend most of my waking time in fantasy. I think maybe I watched too much tv when I was little.

When I’m driving my dogs in the car to our walk spot, I make up and sing songs for them about friendship and teamwork and stickin’ together.

I don’t believe in holding in farts. I’m on a one woman crusade to eliminate the fart stigma. I almost wrote “fart stigmata” just then, which is the best thing I’ve ever heard of.

I’ve never eaten bacon, so I don’t know what everyone’s talking about all the time. Bacon is very “in” right now. Bacon is the new zombies.

I love animals, but I’m not very fond of people. Not you though. You can stay.

I can fold my tongue into 3 parts, like a clover.

I don’t get embarrassed very easily.

I suspect I have some degree of Aspbergers.

I don’t say “Dude.”

This is boring.”

And there you have it. Now go read the damn blog.

I’m sure you all know that last weekend was the weekend of the Star Wars Celebration out in Orlando…What… you mean you didn’t? For Shame!

Luckily I did! And whilst I was unable to attend in person I did vicariously through all the images I found on twitter, digg and various blogs. So here you have my pick of the best costumes, dioramas and exhibits. Let out your inner Jedi, and may the force go with us…

We’ll start with a good one:

Look! It’s Boobie Fett.

The Family that Cons together, stays together. But how pretty is her dress?!

That thing must have taken so long to make!

Awesome.

Ok, here I’m going to mirror the photographers words,

I wish I had a time-machine so I could go back and be as awesome as this 12year old!

Or even as awesome as this little guy!

Here’s one of him with his head on:

Oh my nieces had better be worried…

A really Great photo opportunity!

Last minute Con costume?

Zombies and Stormtroopers, don’t you love it when two of

your favorite things come together?

There’s always one…Oh well, at least he’s not a redshirt.

Look at the detail, look at it!

And now I’m going to end this on my favorite image of all. There are no words for how freaking cool this is!

Later!

Here we are girls; a new week, a new background. I’ve been playing with vectors this time!
