Last night a good friend shared a link, http://www.republicbike.com, after hearing that Ruby the Cannondale was no longer around and now a new bike might just be in order!  If only I can figure out which one to get.  The interactive site lets the user create their own dream machine.  Huumm flashy or conservative and do they ship abroad? Nope on in the USA and Canada.  Fixed or free you decide!  Needless to say it's an entertaining website.  Pick your options and let Republic do the rest of the work, made to order. 

Bloody Eureka!

Basically,  Anish Kapoor is at the forefront of my inspiration. Period.

Finding significant colour inspiration from his works, enjoying the monotone pop contrast.  A mathematical function preserving given order with a hint of disarray.

Anish Kapoor (born Bombay, 1954) has been a native Londoner since the early 70s.  He studied at Hornsey College of Art and Chelsea School of Art Design. http://www.anishkapoor.com/

Daniel Maidman's Mighty Women

Daniel Maidman's latest life size painting, Merops Iphikrates, oil on canvas 60" x 36", demands your attention!  It's no longer a matter of asking, Daniel's paintings insist viewers to take a step back and acknowledge the subjects' powers.  Merops Iphikrates, is the latest in the "Mighty Women" series.

I still <3 paul.

Grassroots Movements, T-shirts for change

Hello world,

Looking to make a difference on many levels? Imagine a place where the consumer spending yields a 50/50 split towards donation, plus the donor gets a token in return! 

Thanks to One Tribe buyers like you can get a natural T-shirt, male or female, composed from “eco-textiles.” By blending bamboo,  an antimicrobial and antibacterial material, with 100% organic cotton consumers can help reduce waste and chemicals such as those necessitated by traditional cotton production.

In addition, One Tribe T-shirts are silk screened by Go West, a environmental friendly screen printing shop that uses wind power to run its presses, dryer, and lights. The company also uses eco-friendly citrus, soy, and organic materials for printing.

One Tribe T-shirt designs support efforts such as the Child Helpline International, Global Village of Beijing, Grassroots Soccer, Peace Jam and Water.org with 50% of the end cost donated towards their efforts.

rE-versible printed laptop sleeves

Check out these super brilliant Macbook Pro polychloroprene reversible laptop sleeves.  Featuring Contour's custom patterns on one side and a solid color on the other, these functional laptop coverings protect geeks like me from scratching the beautiful, aluminum Apple casing while still appearing a slight bit in the know.  Duh,  the pink pinstripe one (note: design director - hello who let the retoucher get away with the yellowed ground finish?).
