Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  The Cool Hunter points us to something rather nifty: Diesel--yes, the clothing label--holds a contest to turn a wall on their headquarters into art. There's plenty of examples on Cool Hunter as well as in the gallery. Check out the Diesel website for more details. And yes, that's supposed to be the Pope in the picture there. Nice.

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. Arthur Ganson is an artist who makes machines (a.k.a. kinetic sculptures) that are just mesmerizingly bizarre and wonderful. The first one, and this post's namesake, is "Machine With Wishbone," and we found it via Neatorama. But once we got started, well, we just couldn't stop. Following "Wishbone" are three others we found on YouTube. These things are like Lay's Potato Chips, we just couldn't stop with one. Machine With Wishbone:

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  You know, it's funny that I ran across this now while I'm reading a recent interview with Paul Levitz in the recent issue of Write Now!. In it, he proved me right about how DC Comics has abandoned kids. He talked about how kids were such a tiny part of their audience. Yeah, it's funny how that works. Publish books that no kid would want to read and the amount of kids buying your books goes down. Stunning. Anyway, one of the people who obviously thinks that's crap and is taking pains to get kids to read comics is Otis Frampton, whose Chazzie-nominated Oddly Normal is a great story for kids and it won't cause an allergic reaction in adults. I haven't seen the trade paperback yet, but I believe it's due out, so to be on the safe side, snag it from the Viper Comics site. That page also has the first chapter online in its entirety. Go. Enjoy. Throw coin at their heads. The reason I bring up Mr. Frampton at this point in time is because I ran across his blog and his nice series of Figments that he puts on the site usually twice a week. I picked my personal favorite for the image here. They're kind of like Michel Gagné on lithium. Very nice. Categorized as: Art

Comments on this: just one. Add your own.  Yeah, for some reason fire and squid seem to be a running theme today. Dunno. Anyway, Nemomatic is the site by Nemo Gould (who is secretly also Moriarty Gould as I have learned--mooha) where he recycles bits into robots that can actually light and move and whatnot. The squid you see here is just the tip of the iceberg, go to his website to see a crapload more plus videos of them in action. Awesome. Categorized as: Art

Comments on this: 2 so far. Add your own.  I'm always impressed when somebody can get something down to the level where even I can stroke my chin and muse, "Hey, I could do that." Next thing I know there's another todo on my list and I'm doomed. This is the trap I encountered over at the most excellent No Media Kings, where they present a tutorial on how to screenprint your own shirts, crafted by artist Shannon Gerard. Bonus points for working in Spidey and the Virgin Mary, something we haven't seen since that Marvel Team-Up special. You know the one. Categorized as: Art
