Rosa Loves

This is one of the best initiatives i've seen in a long time. At Rosa Loves you can buy a T-shirt to support a very selective, good cause. The T-shirt shows the story you support in a creative way, and they look wicked! For example there's the story 'Hope Transfusion' about little Hussein:

"I met Hussein with his mother, his father, a local doctor and our physical therapist from the Preemptive Love Coalition today when his family came up from the Diyala province of Iraq. The province is still so dangerous and messed up with militias and political problems that Hussein's father, normally a teacher, is unemployed and thus, unable to help his family with the finances necessary to save his son's life. Right now Hussein, his elder sister and their two parents live with their grandparents because they don't have enough money for their own home. "

You can help the family and the little guy by buying a shirt for just $ 25,- which isn't much for a shirt anyway.

Triceracopter

"The Triceracopter is half Triceratops, half helicopter. If dinosaurs and technology evolved at the same time, this is what the helicopter might have look like? Built as a sculpture in 1977 by artist Patricia Renick, crafted of fiberglass and built on the frame of a Vietnam era U.S. Army OH6A/Cayuse helicopter.
The piece is now available for the discerning collector/dinopilot. Peculiar object of the week."

Naoto Fukasawa

This is a very cool concept called 'Juice Skins'. Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa has created a series of creative fruit juice packages that have the look and feel of the fruit they contain. A great designer:

LeTourneau: The Worlds Biggest Loader

How powerful must you feel driving this monster! This makes a tank feel like a tricycle! Just driving around knowing that nothing can stop you. This thing will drive right through a building!
Playing around with one of these is absolutely one of my biggest wishes.

Zack Johnson

What if a 16 year old boy, suddenly grew a vagina? Check out this weird but cool idea from Tampax tampons. They create a story about Zack, who is 16 years old and suddenly wakes up having his willy replaced by a vagina! All girls that read about his story can help him out with all the questions he has about his new uquipment.

Brilliant!

Some smart advertising

Ginou Choueiri's Potato heads

Ginou Choueiri is Lebanese artist living in Beirut. She says about her potato portraits:

"I chose the potato to portray human faces because of the many striking parallels. Not only is their skin porous like ours, but their skin texture and color is very similar, and like us, they come in different sizes, shapes and forms. Potatoes grow, live, and then decay, mirroring the ephemeral existence and fragility of our own human nature."

Publicity Plant

Check out this guy. He grows his own bouquet of flowers to congratulate himself for graduating from the academy. By interacting with the platform (search, blogpost, tweet) you can turn on the lamps that help grow the flowers. Cool ej?

Hubert Blanz

The artwork that use a print board as a basis reminds me of moment when I was a little boy and I was looking around in the messy office of my dad. He used to have tons of those things laying around, and I was always very intrigued by the patterns and smell of the print boards.

Josh Keyes

"Few contemporary artists portray animals with the empathy of Josh Keyes. At once meticulous and fantastic, poignant and absurd, Keyes' carefully crafted drawings and paintings depict animals isolated dramatically in fragments of their natural environment, overrun with shards of man-made artifice and debris. Seemingly lost and stranded in their dreamlike stage sets, they look like characters in some existential drama written by a modern-day environmentalist Samuel Beckett."
