Tobias Wong - Protect me from what I want.
I recently came across Tobias Wong and immediately fell in love with his fun and playful style of products. I liked his 'Indulgence' range as part of 'Just Another Rich Kid', in particular the 'Gold pills' aimed to "turn your innermost parts into chambers of wealth" or make you shit gold! His gold-plated Mcdonalds spoon was also pretty epic.
Tobias Wong died at the age of 35 in a suspected suicide although many believe he hung himself whilst sleep-walking. Whatever happened, Tobias Wong was without doubt a great talent and in his short career brought a lot of happiness to a great number of people whether it be described as design, art or a balance of both.

Epic.
Have a look at this video of a kinetic sculpture I watched today. It includes pink poodles, helium and a band saw. There's a list of things you never thought you would hear in one sentence...

Where I Work: Brad Ascalon.
I have always been very interested in spaces that designers & creatives use when working. Recently I found an article on 'Design Milk' that invites established designers to show their work spaces and talk a little about them. I found this to be quite inspiring and think it is definately worth a read.
Where I work: Brad Ascalon.
Here are a couple of images of his studio.

Another Country.
I also thought their dining tables and benches were pretty cool. They manage to balance simplicity with aesthetics really well and all the timber used in their work has been responsibly sourced. Not bad ey???

Good stuff.
I'm totally doing this.
I found this on swiss-miss the other day and thought it was a really good idea that kids would love. Think I might have to try it and also see what other creations I can make. I think a trip to Tesco for supplies is in order...

What Happens When You Give Thousands of Stickers to Thousands of Kids?
Artist Yayoi Kusama set up this installation at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane and gave thousands of stickers to young visitors. The room was initially kitted out with locally sourced furniture and then painted white to create a 'blank canvas'. The kids were then set free in the room to transform it into a completely different space. I think it worked pretty well... and am now craving some skittles.

Nice advertisement.
I saw this advert tonight and thought it was pretty cool, especially the bit with the sliced red cabbage.
