It's Alive!

I've recently been working with a friend on developing the branding and website for her new not-for-profit organization: Stand Up for Stem Cells. Jen is a person that I truly admire and respect, and I'm so happy to have been a part of this.

Friday Fun (Take Two)

Oh, I just couldn't resist...

Friday Fun

Here's an oldie, but goodie, for your Friday amusement.

No Talking

This is my type of graffiti. I just saw this on Peter Gibbons Blog (click). It's called "Sticker Graffiti." This was spotted on the Victoria Line of the London Underground. Basically someone mimics local signage in color and tone, but with a slightly different message :) I can think of a few places that could use some new "signs" such as this.... If the commuter train suddenly has a No Talking sign next week, I didn't do it. Ok?

PooPoo Bags

I just saw this posted on NOTCOT and had to share. Designers Nina Dautzenberg and Andrea Gadesmann of Berlin-based JungeSchactel have done the unthinkable. They've managed to take a mundane (and unpleasant) task and make it fashionable and eco-friendly. So get rid of those landfill clogging plastic bags, and pick up a box of these 100% biodegradable, 100% adorable, poo bags. (There's a sentence I never thought I'd write!)

Aside from the cute illustrations, fun color palette, and humorous sayings... the product design is innovative as well. With a built in "scoop" these are certain to make the task at hand a bit more sanitary.

Now I just need a dog.

Art Star

Here's a great link that a friend sent to me. Art Star is a gallery, boutique and on-line shop based in Philly. They exhibit and sell handmade items from artists around the globe–everything from prints and ceramics, to jewelry and clothing. You can find a really great variety of work on the site. It's so addicting to look through. I'd love to get to the shop one day. The exhibits rotate every 6 weeks, so check back often for interesting new finds.

Who knew?

National Geographic has some amazing online photo galleries. They've always had such stunning work in their magazine, but silly me never realized that it was also available online.

Here is just one of their fascinating galleries – translucent creatures. It's amazing that these animals even exist... nevermind the fact that they managed to get such stunning shots of them. Many look like creatures out of the imagination of Pixar!
