Corks

Scott Gundersen uses thousands of used corks to complete his large scale portraits. The amount of masterpieces I could have created - drats.

Love this.

I love paper artists, especially when they're Australian.

Conformity

I love these kind of experiments.

Bridge

Is there anything involving Lego I don't like?  Unlikely.

Street artist Megx converted a bridge in Germany into a giant Lego structure, using colored panels that created the illusion of being the underside of Lego bricks. Love it.

Conversation

Okay, this is fabulous. Someone has been forward thinking enough to organise a conversation with their twelve year old self. Clever.

Monopoly

I LOVE that an artist named Bored turned the footpaths of Chicago into a game of Monopoly. What a legend.

Wien

I spent a lot of time in beautiful Vienna as a child and these facades from the city make me incredibly homesick.

Queen

Charlotte introduces me to the best things. In this case, a 'Queen Pantone Deck' showing the colours that the Queen actually wore on 60 different occasions during her 60 year reign. Brilliant.

Blurb

I love my Instagram fridge magnets so much, I'm going to have to get one of these Instagram Blurb books. God I love Blurb.

Stains

Well, talk about a merging of things I love. Wine stain portraits. One imagines they smell lovely.

Creative

Good on Bangkok University for attempting to position itself as a 'creative' university. It looks like they've spent a fair amount of time designing the space so students will want to spend time on the campus, not just studying but also enjoying themselves.

Sandwiches

Clearly, I love this shit.

Kelly Pratt of Stately Sandwiches is, after much research and debate, making a sandwich for each of the states of the US, and then creating a poster for each deconstructed sandwich. Yum.

Merlin

A Museum of Endangered Sounds. Oh my lord, how brilliant. I just wish it had the sound of that old Merlin toy I used to love.

Balloons

How cool is this desk created by Dublin ad agency Boys and Girls for their reception area. It's actually held up by the balloons, which are made with a rubber composite that will always contain the helium within. Fab.

3M Scotch-Brite gave young Brazilians the chance to wash the dishes instead of pay their bill. Genius.

Lovely concept, 'moreing'.

Paint

I have to confess, I initially thought these were amazing glass sculptures. They're not. They're actually high speed photographs of coloured water, captured in a way to mimic the shape of blooms, leaves and pots. Amazing.

Bags

Bloody hell. I'd love to visit this shop in the meatpacking district in NYC. Designed by architect Jeremy Barbour, boutique OWEN features approximately 25,000 brown paper bags. Nice.

Well, well, well. A magnetic hammer. That's clever.

This fabulous Queue Hacker app was designed with me in mind.

The brief for the idea was given to the students of a three week course in Creative Problem Solving at Hyper Island, by my favourite agency DARE and the UK Post Office.

Smart thinking.

Fabulous desktop organiser from IKEA.  Great idea.

Haught

Well, I bloomin' love this blog:

When I sent my email to Yarra Trams, I imagined an overworked 21 year-old on their ninety-eighth email of the day (at ten past nine in the morning) scanning my email, seeing the word ‘poo’ and bringing up the “excrement-fouled tram’ template.

I imagined wrong.

What I got was nothing short of genius. Not a template at all – a real letter written by a real person. A talented person. A person I now want to meet and drink beer with and possibly give a little kiss to at the end of the evening (and I fully realise Sam may well be a man).

Click here to read the fabulous letter he's talking about.

Flemish

Sorry, but this is fucking brilliant.

To pass time during one long-haul flight, Nina Katchadourian spent time in the lavatory creating Flemish-like costumes using toilet paper, tissues and toilet seat covers.

In her self-portrait series, entitled “Seat Assignment: Lavatory Self-Portraits in the Flemish Style”, Katchadourian made several trips to the bathroom to create Flemish-style costumes and photograph them with her camera phone.
