Here’s a creative idea: take an old, radical skateboard deck and turn it into a usable chair. Aside from recycling and bringing new design to the living room, the Skede chair is available with a deck from Control or without a deck. That means you can add your own or Ryan Ash can add his broken NOFX skate deck. No ...

R2DJ, RJD2, R2D2 – whatever your poison, you gotta respect the original droid. This boombox is crafted to look like R2D2, except there’s no midget inside controlling it. Unfortunately, it’s a non-working model, effectively shattering your dreams of a Death Star breakdance competition. Link

I’m not quite sure what the Type Cube is supposed to be but from what I can gather, you can design your own fonts using cubes with painted shapes on them. Use black squares and quarter-leaves to spell out classic words like “BONER” and “TOOL.” Actually, Type Cubes look like a fun way to teach children about letters, design and ...

Here’s a stunning work of art to get your morning going. Several artists cast themselves in a beeswax/paraffin emulsion and placed a wick in the middle. The end result? Life-sized human candles that become insanely creepy as they slowly melt. The creators let them burn throughout the entire exhibition, the end result looking more like hot oatmeal than a human. ...

This is fucking creepy. I don’t care about that stupid expression “art for art’s sake,” because when my dead relatives are involved, it’s just fucking weird. See this bird feeder? Looks nice and cheeky, right? Wrong. It’s made from bird feed and human ashes. Yeah, like cremation and all that. The idea is that the bird eats it and you’re ...

Hmmm, I feel like designer Elad Barouch directly copied from Atomic Mass’ See Saw Bike when he came up with the design. Hmm, maybe that’s because Elad is the designer of the See Saw Bike. Now it’s all making sense. It takes two riders and both steer in opposite directions. The catch, however, is that they face away from each ...

Care to grab a bite to eat? Make sure it’s the real thing. This Japanese papercraft features what appears to be a tasty burger, some weird fish sandwich, “Fried Potato” and a soft drink. Unfortunately, just like the real thing, this papercraft isn’t free. It’ll cost you $6 but won’t leave you feeling fat and unsatisfied. Link

No, no. Not the kind your ex-girlfriend gave you. Sheesh. The kind with the blue legs that taste delicious and melt in your mouth? Try again. Half-Life? No, no. That’s a headcrab. Guys and gals, I’m talking about the soda can crab. Look at this cute little bugger. Don’t you want to take him home and let him collect dust ...

Seeing the Google Street View car in your area is nothing new. But what happens when you team up with said Street View team and act out weird scenes on your street? That’s what residents of Pittsburgh, PA did when the cameras came a’flashin’ down Sampsonia Way: On May 3rd 2008, artists Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley invited the Google ...

For those of you with expanding book collections, here’s a way you can spice up your bookshelf without breaking the bank. Take similar sized books, use printer paper for a cover, draw dots on the spine and, finally, arrange them so they create a unique scene of some sort. Such a simple idea I never would have thought of doing. ...
