Never forget

If you’re walking along the beach this summer and you see a group of napping cat sand sculptures, there’s a good chance it’s the work of a Neko Cup (neko is the Japanese word for cat). Neko Cup is the latest product from Japanese design brand h-concept. Made from biomass plastic (bamboo and scallop shells) the hollowed out object creates a silhouette of a napping cat.

It can be used on the beach, in your park’s sandbox and, in the winter, with snow. And when it’s not in use, it also functions as ab adorable little sculpture. Designer Yuka Morii says she loves seeing cats sleeping on the sidewalk and she wanted to preserve that warm feeling she gets when she spots one out of the corner of her eye.

If you’re in Japan you can purchase one from the h-concept online shop. They come in white, beige and black and retail for 2,916 yen ($26.95). (Syndicated from Spoon & Tamago)

I 'positively' destroyed you!

A las chinas les gusta comerse una buena almeja. Si es con forma fálica, mejor (lo mejor es que, da igual si parece una almeja o un nabo, el caso es que tiene una pinta asquerosa ) (gracias thunac)

Posiblemente el animal se encontraba buscando comida cuando cayó en el interior de un recipiente lleno de curry o cúrcuma.

Cuando los veterinarios del hospital de especies salvajes Tiggywinkles recibieron una llamada de unos viajeros que habían recogido junto a la carretera que une Londres y Birkenhead un pájaro exótico de color dorado no sabían … Seguir leyendo...

Mattia Mambo creates graphic interpretations of his clients’ favorite fruits, celebrities, and animals in minimalist tattoos. The designs use thick, rounded lines to highlight the shape of an object or face, with bold splashes of color creating an abstracted version of the subject underneath. Sometimes the Milan-based tattoo artist transforms the shape of a word into a pictorial representation of an animal, like in his sloth tattoo below. Other designs borrow from classic art historical references, such as René Magritte’s famous painting of a pipe, or Frida Kahlo’s recognizable flower crown and facial features.

Mambo shares with Colossal that he attended art school but was self-taught as a tattooer, and he developed his destrutturato (unstructured) style by chance. “What inspired me most has probably been my passion for graphic designs and logos—I love simple shapes. Every day I’m encouraged by the objective of simplifying each image as much as possible and making it clear and intuitive using only few black lines. But both black lines and colors are fundamental: the colors tell what the black lines can’t do.”

“Meeko, Zipps, and Bubi”

Illustrator Luis Coelho uses cross-hatching and stippling to form wide-eyed and bushy-tailed cats, armadillos, and flying squirrels. The seemingly surprised stylized animals are built using carefully placed short lines that build texture and volume. Coelho, who lives in his hometown of Guimarães, Portugal, shares with Colossal that he has had a lifelong affinity for art. After studying painting and illustration in college and in Barcelona, he explored other paths for several years. Coelho returned to art in seeking the meditative qualities of the practice:

One day I gave both my two nieces a blank sheet and I told them that they would have to decide what animals should appear on those white papers and that then I would have to draw those animals for them. I also told that those animals would be the guardians of their dreams and whenever they needed to get out of a nightmare they just needed to call them. What I didn’t know at that moment was that those two drawings marked the very beginning of the style that I’m working today.

Inspired by the delight he felt in collaborating with his nieces, Coelho has focused his formerly wide-ranging art practice on animal interpretations for the young and young at heart. “Maybe because it started this way, I feel like all my creatures seem to have come out of a dream world, somewhat obscure but also adorable,” Coelho explains. Through sharing his work online, the artist has been able to leave his office job and pursue illustration full-time. You can see more from Coelho on his web shop and Instagram, where he accepts commissions. If you enjoy these critters, also look into the work of Kamwei Fong and Lindsey Thomas.

Lithuanian artist Severija Inčirauskaitė-Kriaunevičienė (previously) continues her practice of employing the traditionally delicate process of cross-stitching to adorn hard metal objects with similarly delicate imagery. Her recent works include a rusty tanker decorated with water lilies and a series of found cans embellished with studies of colorful butterflies and insects. While playing on the irony of the juxtaposition, Severija is also able to tell a story about the objects and their respective histories.

Installed in the public space of Lithuania’s capital Vilnius, “Water Lilies” references motifs by Claude Monet and speaks to the history of the region, the power of water to sustain and destroy, and the changing utilitarian use of objects. Previously used to transport water from natural springs to reservoirs, gardens, baths, and streets, tankers are now more commonly used to transport waste; clean water has become the more rare and expensive substance. Severija’s “Tourist’s Delight” series uses flattened cans found discarded in the Caucasus Mountains as a commentary on the butterfly effect of disturbing natural environments. Though partially decayed, the objects will still outlast the creatures whose images have been stitched into them.

Japanese tea company Ocean Tea Bag elevates an everyday ritual into an animal adventure. Intricate tea bag designs range from giant squids and otters to red pandas and cephalopods. Layers, folds, and perforations help to create the details of each creature’s body, which also doubles as a pouch for the tea blend inside. The company was created by Takahashi Shota and launched its first product, a dolphin design, with a crowdfunding campaign in 2015. Since then, Shota has added a vast menagerie of animals to the product line. Luckily, the company started accepting overseas orders just a few weeks ago. Sets of individual animals/flavors and variety packs are available on the Ocean Tea Bag website.

Los veganos están comenzando a ganar terreno en México, ya que cada vez vemos más personas evitando la carne. Esto de acuerdo a Gourmet Show, quien al recopilar información sobre la dieta de los mexicanos llegó a una sorprendente conclusión.

El mundo ya no es el mismo de antes

Cada vez más personas ven como una buena opción alejarse de los productos alimenticios basados en animales. Esto quiere decir que no solamente se alejan de las carnes, sino que se alejan de los lácteos o grasas animales.

Tanto impacto ha tenido este estilo de vida que ya se pueden contar cifras altas en todo el territorio mexicano. De acuerdo con los datos recopilados por este festival gastronómico mexicano, al menos 20% de la población ya es vegana.

Además, de acuerdo con María Fernando Villalobos, gerente de Vegano Inc. De ese 20% de veganos, en su mayoría son mujeres, quienes se preocupan más por cuidar su alimentación y su salud.

Para ser más específicos, se cuentan en 60% y 70% de mujeres veganas, dejando a los hombres veganos en un 30% a 40%. Sin embargo hay que tomar en cuenta que llevar una dieta de este estilo debe ser respaldada por un nutriólogo y no se debe tomar a la ligera.

Ya que cada personas es distintas y sus metabolismos son por lo mismo, únicos. Imitar la dieta de otra personas te puede causar problemas de salud. Hay personas que necesitan comer carne aunque sea en pequeñas cantidades para mantener una salud estable.

Aunque es bueno ver que cada vez más personas se preocupan por esto. No es bueno seguir algo solo por moda. Piensa primero en tu bienestar antes que en el de los demás y practica tu veganismo con responsabilidad. Que realmente parece exagerado, pero es muy importante primero hablar con un profesional sobre el tema.

Hace unos años, se volvió viral en Twitter y Facebook un video de un señor dentro de una combi. Lo que hace especial a este video son los insultos cómicos y memorables que le dice a una señora.

Por mucho tiempo nadie sabía el origen del conflicto y solamente quedo en eso. Pero recientemente, una valiente chica se dio a la tarea de investigar qué fue lo que inicio la discusión. Y de manera directa, le preguntó al señor mismo su versión de los hechos, también dentro de una combi.

La señora insultó a todos en el vehículo

De acuerdo con lo que el señor dijo, la que inició todo el conflicto fue la señora a la que insulta en el video original. Ella se estaba comportando de una manera muy grosera y después comenzó a insultar a todos los ahí presentes. Todo comenzó cuando la señora le dijo de manera grosera al señor que “se hiciera para allá”.

Le digo, no señora, las cosas se piden por favor. A huevo ni los zapatos entran.

Después de eso, la señora intentó hacer contacto físico, ante lo que el señor respondió.

A mí no me toque señora porque yo soy de Alvarado y los de Alvarado somos algo serio.

Después la señora se desesperó y comenzó a insultar a todos, haciéndolos menos con insultos clasistas.

Ofendió a todos, dice “Yo por eso no vengo a Neza, yo vivo en Polanco, aquí va casi puro naco.”

Todo lo anterior no lo pudo filmar la chica que grabó el video original. Pero a partir de entonces fue cuando comenzó el video que se hizo viral. Eso trae un poco de contexto a lo que pasaba antes de que comenzaran los insultos.

Sumado a eso, dice el señor que ella trabajaba en la Plaza Jardín pero que fue despedida por ser muy prepotente. Al menos sabemos que la historia tuvo su final feliz. Si quieres ver el video, completo, aquí lo tienes.
