Time Stamps

I'm totally in love with these brilliant and quite inspiring time stamps by Maker of Things (as he call himself) Eric Trine. He calls them time stamps because the elements are a myriad of things in his studio – client projects, personal projects, plants, comissioned furniture etc. – all within arms reach. Visual studies only existing in their documentation – and in Ongoing Arrangements. So clever!

I scream you scream we all scream for icecream

I know it ain't really season for icecream right now being winter and all, but I suddenly felt the urge when I stumbled over this exquisite icecream packaging for Gorky Park Icecreams by graphic designer Anastasia Genkina. Dazzling, bright colours and wonderful, clean pattern, and if the taste is just half as good as the design – I'm of to Moscow! Via Good Design Makes Me Happy.

Ladylike Legs

Fantastic surreal watercolour paintings by Tokyo-based artist Akiko Kobayakawa. The cute, innocent animals with their sexy ladylike legs has a surreal and yet very realistic feel and I love the delicate, poetic colours. In her work Akiko Kobayakawa likes to combine different things like beauty and ugliness, male and female, animals and humans, and she explores the boundary between them and makes it ambiguous. See more work here and buy some here. Via Spoon and Tamago.

Looking and Touching

Elisa Noguera Lopez is a London based artist mainly working with photography, because of its ability to create images which contain multiple disjunctive narratives. In her photos objects and living things are stripped of instrumentality, functionality and identity, and she is fascinated by surfaces, shapes, materials and gestures as well as the relationship between looking and touching. I totally wants to keep looking and touching! Via Little Paper Planes.

Not so itsy bitsy tini wini

Fantastic bathing suits and caps cut and crafted out of beautiful Japanese paper by American artist Kristin Martincic. She grew up swimming and believes that being submerged makes us consider our bodies in new ways and affects how we navigate through space. She uses bathing suits and environments associated with water to reveal the fine line between public and private, intimacy and exposure, skin and clothing. Sure makes me think of the times when modesty required apparel to cover up more of the body, than now a days with all the itsy bitsy tini wini bikinis ... Via The Jealous Curator.

That time of the month ...

Not normally something I would celebrate, but when it comes to Le Parcel — a monthly delivery service for “that time of the month”— it would probarbly change a bit. I love the concept with the little extra gifts and chocolates (yeah, I know I'm easy) and Seven Fifty Five did a fantastic job with the packaging, the logotype design and the lovely colour palette. And so good to know that Le Parcel is always there for me!! Via Good Design Makes Me Happy.
