I have to admit I missed last night’s super moon… so this is the closest I got in seeing it.

A small reminder for today. A magnet designed by U.K.-based illustrator Gemma Correll.
Now that we are proud owners of a cat, this caught my attention. Obi is a beautifully designed fun toy for cats. It is a device that sits on a shelf but when activated, it projects a laser light on the wall, that makes cats go wild trying to “catch” the light. Although quite expensive, it’s worth checking out its Kickstarter campaign.

This is a chapel I would love to visit. It is Apostle Peter and St. Helen in Paphos – Cyprus. Architect Michail Georgiou, collaboratorated with Theresa Kwok for this tiny 56 m2 structure that consists of a steel frame and a thin shell.
This is from a few years ago, but it is so adorable I had to share it here. My favorite children’s book illustrator Oliver Jeffers teaches us how to draw a penguin.
Austrian designer Albert Exergian loves posters, modernism and television. He successfully combined the three in this self-initiated series of posters for iconic TV series. I love the use of one minimalist element in each one. Good to know, prints are available here.

I have been following the French street artist JR for some time and I just saw that the poster of his new short movie ELLIS is out. The film will be out in the US in October and hopefully we will be able to see it at some point. It is part of a series of projects about Ellis Island, the gateway to the United States for 12 million immigrants.
The short film explores parts of the island that nobody visited in over 70 years, and pays respect to to all those who were not given a chance at the American Dream. “It’s a fiction, that slowly connects to the reality,” JR explains. “I asked Robert De Niro to play an immigrant that’s been there and never got accepted, and ended up being a ghost in this island. You see things from his point of view, telling his story and it slowly connects to what happens today.”
Last year the artist also hosted a very interesting photo installation called Unframed – Ellis Island, on the walls of the old abandoned hospital on the island, which closed in 1954.
Who would have thought there could be such a range of color hues in garage doors! Photographer Agne Gintalaite has captured beautifully painted garage doors near her hometown in Lithuania. “It is the fascinating play of colour and texture that I attempted to capture with my camera” she says. The project is called Beauty Remains, because it signifies the beauty of these doors that have stood the test of time. “As long as they last, this uncanny beauty remains.”
