Reporting live from San Diego Comic-con 2008! Ok, well not quite, but i did run through to see the toys and online comic guys - so here's a roundup of designs that grabbed me!
Wow. Adam Brockbank's portfolio is amazing ~ the concept art and story boards from things like harry potter, tomb raider, spiderman, xmen and more are incredible!
Golden Shellback ~ awesome new technology that will coat anything (your electronics - inside and out- or even ancient scrolls) ~ to be completely waterproof and still function. Watch the videos!!
Will the iPhone shot, become a new trend in wedding photography? Can't you just see generations later asking about what that thing is? I just got lost going through pages of the Enluce photography blog...
Prairie Vodka really sent the prairie with this product sample. In an intricately laser engraved wood box filled with corn and straw - cradling this deliciously smooth bottle of vodka...
Latest packaging discovery ~ Pratima Ayurvedic Skincare ~ see the line and display ~ also the texture and process of the products are fascinating as well.
If you can't stand the heat... get out of the kitchen ~ new print from the "keep calm, and carry on" guys ~ now, if only the finger came pointing in either direction to accommodate all kitchens!
Ikea jumps on the porcelain and wood trend with a new line of kitchen accessories ~ this one is the Celeber by Anna Lerinder ~ a soy sauce pourer with lid and base
Bread & Wine ~ one of our fav bag designers, Rebecca Minkoff joined in the "reusable shopping bag" trend ~ How can you not grab a bottle and a loaf with this one on your arm?
Dezeen has a great roundup of the images of the shortlisted entries for the Architectural Jelly Competition! (Now can you imagine an architectural jello shot party?)
Finger Rocket ~ so amidst the GLOW madness, somehow ended up at google santa monica shooting these addictive foam rockets across cubicles until my hand turned red... def, buy in bulk.
EX-SE-08, Shieh Chieh Huang - Crazy floaty recycled robots made of plastic bags, computer fans, and more that were suspended under the pier at GLOW ~ see the video of some of these bizarre creatures!
GIANT screen of water, night sky as backdrop, rear projection visualizations - and microphones to scream into to directly alter them. See my vid and pics of Primal Source by Usman Haques from GLOW!
I just spent 7pm to 7am at GLOW - where the city of Santa Monica let loose and threw a hell of a party mixing beach, techno/eco art, food, music, park, pier, and more... here's an overview of the last 12 hours!
Love this new Got Milk site! (yes, i found it from my own ads!) ~ they have adorable animated papercraft creatures that have you solve puzzles, and you can even make them!
DELO - all packaging ~ plastic screw caps filled with vitamins, etc, that you simply screw onto your bottled water, and shake! See some of the insane videos they made...
Kissing an ice sculpture of Richard Nouveau of Pocket Change to get your shot from the ice luge going through his head... made by the most expensive ice sculptor in NY - Okamoto Studios
Adidas gives All Black fans a new way to get close to the team to show their support... using nanotechnology, add your name to be engraved on the thread of the new jerseys with adiThread!
