I’m loving the vibe and feel of these rough around the edges (in an intentional way) cards from DEADWEIGHT. There’s lots to be said about the imperfections in life.

Ashes & Milk is an online gallery space based around the idea that a lot can be created from very little. Most of their artists’ creations are very minimal and use traditional handmade methods. I left feeling completely inspired.

Every designer out there just let out a collective Damn! after seeing Andrew Clifford Capener’s The A-1 Scrabble designer edition.
“The idea was to excite people about typograqphy by giving them the ability to choose what font their scrabble set would come in. The set would come in the font of your choice or with an assorted font pack. The scrabble board and interior box are made out of solid walnut, and the exterior box is made from birch. Each of the 6 board pieces is magnetized to fit together perfectly and each piece slides nicely into its respective slot in the box and is secured by interior magnets as well. The interior of the exterior box as well as the bottoms of the 6 board pieces are lined with cork, to protect them while in use.”

Anyone who tries to eat reasonably healthy has that moment of realization – it’s cheaper to eat like crap. Jonathan Blaustein had the moment when he bought ten organic blueberries for a dollar. Afterward he set about chronicling amounts of food you can get for a dollar through his camera, healthy foods are juxtaposed with the not so healthy. Check out the rest of The Value of a Dollar Project here.

I’ve yet to set foot in the Pacific Northwest, but just looking at Sarah and Tammy’s prints for Banquet Atelier & Workshop make me feel like I have.

Holton Rower’s Pour series is magical eye candy. Every multi-dimensional plywood and acrylic piece looks like a cracked open jawbreaker and a topography map all rolled into one.

Or perhaps they just know what sort of look is going to sell their product and represent their brand best. Whatever the case, they know that a good presentation is everything. Here are a few of my favorites that I’ve spotted lately.

A Sequence of Lines Traced by Five Hundred Individuals from clement valla on Vimeo.
A Sequence of Lines Traced by Five Hundred Individuals is an online drawing tool that lets users do just one thing – trace a line. Each new user only sees the latest line drawn, and can therefore only trace this latest imperfect copy. As the line is reproduced over and over, it changes and evolves – kinks, trembling motions and errors are exaggerated through the process.
I love how the acceleration resembles a lightning storm. {via kottke}
