The Louvre and it’s visitors, photos by Alécio de Andrade.

“I think about photographs as being full, or empty. You picture something in a frame and it’s got lots of accounting going on in it—stones and buildings and trees and air—but that’s not what fills up a frame. You fill up the frame with feelings, energy, discovery, and risk, and leave room enough for someone else to get in there.”

Photo and quote by Joel Meyerowitz.

And everything is going fine

- The first look at the new exhibition of Ron Mueck’s brilliant sculptures.

- As a formal Brooklynite I have a soft spot for the projects like this one - Constellation Quilt by Haptic Lab. (via swissmiss)

- Fascinating. How histrorical figures would look today.

- I heart this mirror. What a clever idea…

- Dramatic shots of volcanic eruption made from space.

- A really cool chandelier that creates tree shadows.

- The Inbox – a short film depicting spam messages.

- And something for the senses – a stunning shot of cherry blossoms in bloom in the Tszuki Ward of Yokohama, Japan.

Have a great weekend, guys!

A Day of Autumn - written by Betty Miles, illustrated by Marjorie Auerbach (1967).

New Illustration for Nobrow 7, Brave New World.
The theme of this issue is inspired by the famous novel written by Aldous Huxley in 1931.
I had a great time working on this one!

It is always a thrilling moment when a good idea makes it to the production line. Even more thrilling is actually seeing it happen. One of my all-time faves, the Timber table by talented designer and carpenter Julian Kyhl, is about to be funded at ideacious. So, ladies and gents, if you’re on a market for a collapsible dining table – check it out. Watch the mesmerizing assembly video after the break to see how the piece works.

(thank you, Kenna)

Backyard brews with my boys. If you’re not here, get on it!

Chevron Shelves by Australian designer Henry Wilson is a beautifully simple and adaptable object, perfect for small or frequently changing spaces. The piece is modular, so you can create a configuration specific to your interior and storing needs. It is also flat-packed. Each unit is assembled from four pieces of precision milled birch-ply. The shelves are put together via the slot-in principle without any tools or adhesives. I love the ergonomic tilt, allowing to see contents of the lower shelves at a glance. It’s also pleasing that the shelves are tall enough for big art books and magazines.
