These creepy sheep are part of an art installation in Creepsville. If you take a closer look, you’ll see the head of each animal has been replaced with a rotary phone circa 1955. Their legs are made up of handsets and the wool is actually a bunch of intertwined phone cords. Who knew such a piece of shit could become ...

Though I decided to wear a condom, some of you may have kids and could possible have an electrical outage sometime in the near future. Am I being vague enough? Good. Because you’re going to want to scoop up a few of these Glow-in-the-Dark Doorknob Grips. At $18 a 4-pack and made from soft latex-ish material, they’ll help your kids ...

Xerox is looking to venture outside the office world you’ve associated it with. Seems now it’s aiming to make tree-hugging hippies smile with erasable paper. The paper automatically clears itself after a 24-hour waiting period and can then be used again and again, up to 100 times. It may not be a zero-watt monitor, but hey, it beats sitting there ...

This re-creation of Van Gogh’s “Skull with a Burning Cigarette” was made entirely of cigarette packs. If you look very closely, you’ll see the painting resembles a mosaic and is filled with packs of Winston, Camel, and Marlboro cigarettes. How appropriate, unlike some other works of art we know of, this is true dedicated. Cancer sticks at their best if ...

Car companies thrive by using a powerful logo to represent the brute force behind their vehicles. Ferrari uses a wild bucking horse. Jaguar uses a huge and powerful raging cat in mid-leap. Lamborghini uses the image of a charging bull. It’s all about the image of pure animalistic power! Now, imagine if these companies were all of a sudden focused ...

You’d think that your average white collar cubicle warrior would be hellbent on actually standing up and moving around when he’s not tied down to his office chair, but apparently, office workers just like to sit! The Briefcase Seat design from artists Joan Korbes and Denis Oudendijk provides cubicle workers a place to sit after their long day of, um… ...

Two years from now, almost every dot-com out there without a solid business plan and/or funding is going to be very unhappy when this whole 1999-esque bubble bursts. So why spend all that hard-earned VC money on a Maserati Quattroporte or a Ford GT when you can pick up this equally-beautiful Maserati lamp from Lumina. Inspired by the grills of ...

Don’t get me wrong. This is stretching the bounds of what’s tech-related, just like your face. But after eyeing this Nantucket Rope Bracelet from J. Crew, which costs a mere $10, I haven’t been the same. I’ve had dreams of nautical voyages across dangerous seas, yacht ricottas and even docks. I imagine a bunch of us there, with a cooler ...

Accidentally tangling your wires into a knotted mess really sucks. Doing the same thing in a organized, purposeful fashion, can be pretty damn gorgeous. Take a look at these light installations from designer Kwangho Lee. Lee has mastered the art of tangled wires in the form of lighting fixtures. The original concept was to strip your average everyday lamp down ...

Jesus was known for a wide assortment of parlor tricks. If I had to choose one of Jesus’ powers, it would have to be turning water into wine, just because I’m a drunk badass like that. Arcstream AV is conquering another one of those biblical tricks with their interactive “Living Image” exhibit at The Science Museum in South Kensington, London. ...
