Red Bull Art Of Can

Apparently this competition has been around for some years (since 1997). I have never heard of it before, but it is a very cool concept by Red Bull. Basically, any one with a creative flare can enter, and the principal is to make an art piece using a can of Red Bull as the primary material. So if you have some spare time and can of Red Bull, why not give it a try?

+ Obama

I love this Obama phenomenon, cool projects just keep popping along. I don't think any ad agency could create such a buzz, sometimes it really is in the character of the person/product and a bit of luck. A good "product" sells for it self, you just need to know it exists.

Improv Everywhere: Frozen Grand Central

I wish I was there when this happened. Some type of flash mob consisting of 100s of people just freeze all at the same time. Awesome!

This is what Improv Everywhere say about the project:
This is one of over 70 different missions Improv Everywhere has executed over the past six years in New York City. Others include the No Pants Subway Ride, the Best Buy uniform prank, and the famous U2 Rooftop Hoax, to name a few. Visit the website to see tons of photos and video of all of our work, including behind the scenes information on how this video was made.

Brian Dettmer: Book Autopsies

I am lost for words to describe the beauty of these books. I don't know if they are actual pages of the book that are cut, or if it's made with collage. Anyway, they're amazing!
You can read some information about the artist on Wikipedia.

Mikontalo Lights

This is an amazing project by Mikontalo, I'm a huge fan of Tetris, so to be able to play it on a building, there's just one word, WOW! Come to think of it, you don't even have to like Tetris to want to give it a go. Beats any PS3 (at least for a few minutes)!

Amigos do Monstro (Friends of the Monster)

This Sunday I went to Crafts & Design fair in Jardim da Estrela (Lisbon, Portugal), it's a modern crafts fair which in winter happens every first Sunday of the month. I advise anyone who has a chance to go and visit, it's a great place to buy presents for your other half, or yourself of course. Also with Christmas fast approaching its ideal to buy original gifts for your friends and family. In December the fair will take place on the first and second Sunday of the month. Anyway, here's some of the work by two artists you can find in one of the stands ---> http://www.amigos-do-monstro.blogspot.com/








These figurines are mostly made out of wood from cuttings of fruit trees in farms, so as the artists don't have to buy almost any material, they sell these fantastic figures very cheap, prices are in average between €10 and €20.
