Felt, plush. Whatever you call it, it’s soft and cuddly. Yesterday, we explored Becky Stern’s fucked up femur in plush form. Today, plush strikes again in the form of an old 1970s synthesizer. It looks like a Modular Moog unit but alas, it’s a Korg. These plush synths are created by Australian artist Pulsewidth. He’s made a Juno, an ARP ...

Human Candles
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. ...

Meet Becky Stern. She’s pretty handy with some felt and a hot glue gun. She also had to have surgery performed on her leg to remove cartilage. Her doctor drilled holes into her bone, which is painful to type let alone experience first-hand. What’s a girl to do while recovering from the painful ordeal? Make a plush model of your ...

I just love the color scheme Alex Fojtik used to create this LEGO robot/mech. The all-black body with rainbow prism accents really makes for a good build. Check out his website for more LEGO creations. Link [via]

Karl Lagerfeld wants you to know that even though he’s old and the head of Chanel, he can still crank out innovative, wallet-busting products that are completely unnecessary. Take this Chanel Segway, for instance. It comes with some ridiculously expensive Chanel bag, logos emblazoned all over the vehicle (including the rims) and has extra big tires for when you’re stuck ...

Alright chief. We have five minutes and I mean exactly five minutes to get these six hard boiled eggs to Mayor Bloomberg. You can’t lose them and if they fall on the ground, we’re finished I tell ya. The man needs his breakfast. Here, use my special egg suitcase for the task. It’ll hold all six of Bloomy’s eggs in ...

Throwing OS X on a Hackintosh netbook is nothing new. Just grab an MSI Wind and follow one of the thousands of examples on the Internet. But it just won’t feel the same until people know you’re using an “Apple product.” That’s why some broke ass fanboy who owns an MSI Wind posted instructions on how to design and shape ...

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 ...

Anyone with a Playstation 3 cannot deny the appeal of the LittleBigPlanet Sackboy. He jumps, he runs, he grabs and dresses in drag. Of course, some of us would like to bring our Sackboy outside of the game and into our lives. While some have accomplished just that, no one beats designer Maggie Wang’s creations. Her Sackboys not only look ...
Read More »The App That Never Was: iBoobs
Here’s some video of the iPhone app iBoobs. It was rejected by Apple for App Store placement due to obvious reasons. Apple is a prude and thinks that boobs have a place on Baywatch but not the iPhone. I’m sure every guy would have shelled out 99 cents for some jiggling boobs, though. Look at ’em go! I think Harry ...
