Getting Etsy-ed Out!

It's official: I now have two store fronts on Etsy.com. One is for my wearable art (right now, that just means felted hats), and the other shop is for my fine art (paintings).
Since it takes me ages to upload pictures and add virtual merchandise to my shop, it might take me a while before I can say I'm in full-swing business, but let's just see. Wish me luck!

Young Designers on the Move in Australia

Andrew Maynard Architects is full of good ideas, including hosting a well thought-out design space called Latitude @ designEX, which showcases the work of young designers.

Tubes and irregular forms are the look of the day, as these contemporary designers develop interesting spaces by changing the line of sight.

Decorating Ideas... for the Prince of Darkness?

Enter the sci-fi world of weird. Report-writing has never been more macabre (or life-like) than it is on Richard Riley's desk (http://www.tomspinadesigns.com/), described as an "elegant and extremely unique piece". I think it would be fodder for nightmares, myself. Design intended for shops, theme parks, "home theatres", and perhaps film sets, can now add a touch of living of the surreal to your home. This realistic-looking "Deluxe Werewolf" stands at 6 feet tall, and can grace your home for $6999. Think of how much fun the kids would have at Halloween!

Visual Vertigo: the Panoramic Way

Ever wondered what it must be like, to sit in a private, first-class cabin of one of the world's top notch airlines? Well, get a little closer... check out Singapore Airline's Airbus A380, in this cool panormamic experience, courtesy of gillesvidal.com. In fact, he's got the entire launch of the airline's fancy new fleet addition covered, with a number of top-to-bottom, 360-degree, high-res shots... you can litterally see all around you, from the press conference, to the exterior, to the desirable, swank first class.

Also see his Venice pics (nice!), and Mouammar Kadafi's Paris visit... Neat-O!
