For almost every day last month Malaysian artist/architect Hong Yi (who often goes by the nickname Red) created a fun illustration made with common (and occasionally not so common) food. Her parameters were simple: the image had to be comprised entirely of food and the only backdrop could be a white plate. With that in mind Yi set out to create landscapes, animals, homages to pop culture, and even a multi-frame telling of the three little pigs. The project, which still appears to be ongoing, has been documented heavily around the web, but if you haven’t seen it all head over to her Facebook and read an interview on designboom. Photos will also be appearing on her Instagram at @redhongyi.

Re: 10 Essential Albums for Starting a Jazz Collection

by Sujit Patwardhan

Many unfamiliar with John Coltrane feel he is difficult to understand. To these Jazz lovers I would strongly recommend "Coltrane Plays the Blues" followed by individual selections like Alabama, After the Rain, Softly as in a Morning Sunrise, My Favorite Things, A Love Supreme. There are many more but if you don't like Coltrane after this - indeed if you aren't transformed by his music then Coltrane's not for you but that's unlikely if you are bitten by the Jazz and Blues bug. Give it a try. It's a life-changing experience.
