Stormtroopers 365 is a photography project by Stéfan Le Du, a daily shot of Stormtroopers starting April 3rd 2009, ending April 4 2010. Brilliant. And absolutely hilarious!!

Information Leak, Richard J.Evans‘ brilliant Final Major Project at college…
“…What I tried to do was visually represent the way information is so easily leaked in today’s society, through the internet and television. Pretty much anything you can imagine, you can get your hands on. With such an abundance of information, I feel as though it over-flows into our lives…”
I know, this is a quite off-topic post, but when I saw these GaGa cookies I thought they were so funny and creative that I had to post them! My complimrnts to the Chefs and PLEASE, TRY THIS AT HOME!
The first time I saw Tzuri Gueta’s creations in Milan some year ago I fell in love with his organic jewels. Soon he became one of the most interesting upcoming designers, attracting the attention of several haute-couture design houses for collaboration.His most recent activity is a luminaires installation for the “Il était une fois Playmobil” at the toy gallery of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris…
“The famous “happy accident” whilst experimenting has lead to Tzuri Gueta – Paris-based textile and jewelry designer – becoming the recognised master of silicone jewelry. Through experimentation, Gueta developed a way to extrude hot silicone through silk tubes and lace fabrics to create these luscious forms.
Silicone penetrates the tiniest fissures and cavities of fabric, blending perfectly with all textures. It can imitate wood, ivory, coral or leather, taking on their physical qualities, infusing them with a subtle luminosity, while adding new forms and agreeable textures.
Necklaces, bracelets, rings and accessories, their surfaces are surprisingly tactile, their effect is ironic and yet very sophisticated.”
This post is dedicated to all those who will be in Milan in the next week (22-27 april) attending to one of the most important design events worldwide: the Salone del Mobile. Besides the Salone and the Salone satellite, the entire city will be hosting the Fuorisalone, a meltin’ pot of performances, exhibitions, open showrooms, parties and happenings. This is, in my opinion, the most innovative and stimulating part. If you don’t want to miss anything about it, here’s the website you have to check regularly: http://2009.fuorisalone.it
You’ll find the guide to events and parties, real-time reports and guidelines, so stay tuned!!
By the way, one of the most awaited events will be the launch of Diesel lighting, furniture and textile lines, in cohoperation with Foscarini, Moroso and Zucchi. Here’s the teaser, and here’s thewebsite!

“I have a spinal disease that has always been a present and physically painful force in my life. The majority of my art stems from this fact, but to say that I make artwork as therapy would be untrue. I make artwork and it is therapeutic. This is the same to say that I make art and I am in pain; instead of saying I make art because I am in pain. I cannot separate these ideas. The objects that result from this are the invented anatomical structures of my imagination and my biology. These structures relate to cells, veins, organs, skin, blood, and bones. But they tend to express themselves as flowers, plants, tubes, topography, diseases, bacteria, growths, mold, and organisms. They spread, spill, leak, and grow their way into existence through yarn and a crochet hook.”

A dangerous criminal gang is riding the net. They act in the dark, exploring the most sinister places, in search for the bloody heart of talent and creativity. Their favourite victmis are banality, conformism, lack of humor and good will at any cost. Killing Bambi is a good metaphor for their mission. They are unarmed, actually, but they can still hurt. So be careful…
The Amazing Animal project, a cross between contemporary jewelry, personal feelings, and visual arts…
“We live surrounded by innumerable amounts of objects. By personal objects and belongings an indivisual leaves his trails and marks behind. Amazing Animal: Mervi Kurvinen (-74), Kati Nulpponen (-74) and Maria Nuutinen (-75) are jewellery artists, making contemporary jewellery, jewellery- like objects and installations. The name of the group comes from the one and only animal who decorates his body on purpose. Human body is a playground for jewellery artist, jewellery works as a sign from a person to others.”
Stuffed animals have been turned inside-out and restuffed… Simple patterns and devices that were never meant to be seen are now what form the bears’ physical traits and give them a unique personality… they are once hideous once cute, disturbing yet endearing while they offer metaphors for our own experience.”
If you have a secondlife account, fly to Belladone Island, there you’ll find the preview of the new Dior Joaillerie collection by Victoire de Castellane…

I think it’s funny and brilliant… and somehow helpful when there’s lack of ideas…
This is what’s written on the package… “You have received the gift of nothing. Absolutely nothing. This is the ultimate in minimalism. Less is more. More or less. Nothing is precious. Nothing is simple. Nothing is sacred. Open the pack and be enthralled when nothing happens. Allow the nothing to flow through your mind and calm your soul. Savour the moment. Soon you’ll discover that nothing really is so much better than something.” (available at iwantoneofthose)
