Setpixel is a collection of articles written on the convergence of technology and reality. The site contains many interesting features on interactive architecture and installation. A wonderfully inspirational resource.
OhNo! Doom
OhNo! Doom create some seriously badass plush toys! With the iminent release of the aptly named ‘fluffy yukyuk’, I’d check out the site now and grab one before it’s too late.
Angry Retail
Angry Retail make t-shirts and other nice designery objects. Check them out for some cool apparel for both boys and girls! I especially like the Argyle Skull jumper.
Sarah Van Gameren
Sarah Van Gameren’s design explores the manufacturing process and how accidents can also be beautiful. She is currently the designer in residence at the London Design Museum. Shown above are samples of her work ‘Big Dipper’ which shows the process of creating candles using complex clockwork machinery. The results are amazing, with each ‘chandelier like’ candle containing it’s own individual intricacies.
If you’re in London you can go and see her work at the Design Museum or I noticed yesterday a big dipper machine in a shop next to Design Guild on Kings road.
Antigirl
Antigirl (aka Tiphanie Brooke) makes some great original fine art prints & books. All her work has a real hand made feel to it and is undeniably beautiful. Plus, she’s having a sale. Check it out.
hitotoki: London
We love hitotoki. So here’s the heads up. hitotoki is now accepting submissions for their London pages, so any readers from London with an interesting story about the big smoke should head on over to the submissions page and start typing. Also, I have it on good authority that hitotoki are also looking for a few illustrators to illustrate the new London articles. Send them an email if you think you’re up to it.
World’s Biggest Skateboard
Ok, so this is a bit old (2004 to be precise), but it’s still damn cool! The world’s biggest skateboard built by Foundation.
Re-design
Hi guys,
As you can probably see, we’ve re-designed. It’s basically a natural progression from the old design (which I was never entirely happy with), but has some great new features which I should have included from the beginning. You can now use the search feature or browse through the archives and hopefully find some new things that you haven’t seen before.
Those of you who grab the feed only, please take the time to check out the new design and let me know what you think.
Peace,
Toby
Naked Light
I really wish I had a mac right now. Naked Light provides node based image editing, not dissimilar to video compositing software. What this means is, as they put it on the site, non-destructive image editing which basically allows for multiple levels of undo as well as adding and removing filters at any point in the document’s workflow. Damn cool! Not a photoshop killer obviously but, Naked Light looks like it will be fun to mess around with.
Start Drawing dot Org – The Asia Drawing Portal
Start Drawing dot Org is, perhaps as my title suggests, a portal for Asian artists to showcase their work. There’s some really great stuff over there, some of it contemporaray and some with a quite definite Asian influence.
