Mossenger is a brilliant take on graffiti by Anna Garforth which focusses more on natural non-destructive elements (in this case moss) with which to make her statement. Kind of reminds me of Reverse Graffiti.

The Journal of Urban Typography is a fantastic resource for all those typographical signs, snippets of words and other hand-written delights found within the city.

Art Space Tokyo is a great new book by Chin Music Press. Acting as your personal guide to Art Galleries in and around Tokyo this beautifully illustrated book is the perfect companion to the more traditional travel guides.

Space Collective, is the future of everything. Well the discussion of the future of everything anyway. A rich forum for the discussion of the overlap between the worlds of science fiction and our own world, Space Collective provides interesting opinions and visual ideas for the future.

Days with My Father is a beautiful if somewhat sad site depicting photographer Phillip Toledano’s life with his father, who has no short term memory. The narrative is moving and the photography, touching.

It’s not often that we mention commercial video games here on Hip.Young.Thing. but there’s something special about Geometry Wars that deserves attention. The graphics in this game are simply amazing and definitely not traditional fare for most games. The screen seems overwhelmed with colour and vibrancy making a beautiful collage from chaos. For those of you without an Xbox (I don’t have one myself) you can download Grid Wars, which is free for PC.

A golden skate rail and a walnut skate ramp are just a few of the things Andrew Lewicki has dreamt up over the years. The resounding theme of his work seems to highlight the specialness and also insignificance of everyday objects.

Barcode Plantage is an interesting look at ordinary, everyday barcodes. Simply run your barcode through the application on their website and you will be presented with a great visualisation, showing where your product originated, the manufacturer and other tid bits of information.

We love tapes! Mixtapes, even more! They helped many a shy teenager express their feelings towards a member of the opposite sex. Cassette From My Ex brings back a whole lot of nostalgia by not only showing us the playlists of many a long forgotten mixtape but also includes the story behind its creation. Beautiful. - Via PSFK
