Atlanta-based art director Stephen McMennamy likes to combine stuff creatively. Sometimes he uses his daughters, sometimes he photographs friends. The cauliflower-dog is my favorite. Check out his Instagram account.

- Another paper artist/illustrator, this time from Mumbai, India. Her alphabet created with quilled paper is beautiful.
- I love this range of steel shelves with perforated patterns.
- Lingo looks like a good way to organize, share and use all your visual assets in one place. You simply drag & drop your visual assets in the app.
- A little sad, but beautifully drawn birds on the back of old medicine boxes.
- I think we need a lamp for our living room. This wooden tripod lamp would do nicely.
- Who wouldn’t want a watermelon tent, or a cheese tent, or maybe a sheep tent?
- Great giant coloring posters with city themes.
- A charming nursery.
- It’s the time of the year when cherry trees blossom in Tokyo.
Have a lovely weekend!
Because it’s that time of the year, this is Spring Blossoms: a great colorful art print by Lisa Congdon.
When you look closely, it looks like a classic Rembrandt painting that maybe you haven’t seen before. You can’t imagine it was actually created with 3D printers by a team of data analysts, developers and art historians.
The painting, called the “Next Rembrandt” was developed by the Amsterdam-based advertising agency J Walter Thompson for its client ING Bank. First they gathered data from all of Rembrandt’s paintings that were then analyzed with a unique software and facial recognition algorithm. Based on this data, new features were generated and a two-dimensional image of a person was created. The final painting was realized after the data was fed to a 3D printer, which released different layers of ink onto a canvas to recreate the painting texture similar to a real Rembrandt.
Watch the video to see how it was done, amazing!

I have posted about Japanese studio Nendo before. Everything they design is fabulous and their products range from chocolates, furniture, stationery and now …pet accessories. Well, actually they are for dogs, but I would’t mind having them for my cat also.
The Cubic Pet Goods is an elegant pet-friendly collection designed for both the dog’s and the owner’s needs. The line consists of a dog house, soft toy, a line of ceramic bowls, and a ball. And some of them have a double function. Smart.

This looks like an awesome product!
Dacuda is a mini wireless scanner that lets you scan anything, anywhere and sends an image to your phone or computer in real time. The scanned image is high-res and probably much clearer than a picture from your phone. You can even open and edit the scanned text in Word. Super useful for designers! It’s already on my wish list.

A Swiss artist paints snowy mountains, how typical! But, I love how artist Conrad Jon Godly has captured these beautiful snow-covered mountains in his oil paintings. So real, you want to touch them.
Take a look at the last one, which is actually one artwork called “Holon” and is consisted of 53 smaller oil paintings (2012, 130×260 cm)

Now, this is a great light-bulb letter. Created by Todd Carosielli, a visual artist specializing in creating CGI illustrations for print advertising.
I just finished watching the final season of Mad Men yesterday and I had to share this Coke ad from 1971. I don’t want to spoil it, but whoever watched the series finale, knows what I am talking about.
The, so-called “Hilltop ad“, created by McCann Erickson, was one of the most popular ads ever created.
