Ellis Gallagher (aka Ellis G.) started his art career as graffiti artist. After brushes with the law (including fines and nights spent behind bars) and the passing of a friend.

Talk about watching time burn! When I first saw this calendar made of matches by designer Yurko Gutsulyak (for VS Energy International Ukraine Financial industrial group) I was in completely awe of the sheer genius behind the product.
“The idea was to create as unique a calendar so that the process of its presenting would become an outstanding event. Alongside with this, it was important to expose the idea of “energy”, as it is predetermined by the name and logo of the company. Each page is a month and it looks like a comb made of matches that correspond to the days. The matches are real and the construction of the calendar is absolutely safe.”

I’ve been pretty good for the most part this year.
I flipped the minimal amount of people off on the roadways (and those I told were #1 deserved it I might add). I cut back on Happy Hours. And that one day when my cat, Peanut, got stuck in the coat closet for ten hours? Totally his fault.
So if you could just maybe consider putting this Heather Frazier Mobile under my tree this Christmas I’d be very thankful. Especially because I’ve already decided exactly where it will go.
I love this idea! Snow garland is simple to make with just a roll of dental floss and some white adhesive dots and creates quite a dramatic effect when used in quantity.

I’ve taken a serious liking to repurposed ceiling medallions. These clocks from Mr. Kaliski are fantastic. It’s amazing how something so utterly stuffy in it’s original purpose becomes chic and art-like when used in another way.
