I just came across the video above, which features JR (and company) doing his thing in Paris. This edit just surfaced recently, but the installation/exhibit/expo is from September 2009. Still new to me though. I’d freak out if I woke up one morning and saw something like this on my morning commute, haha. Via – [...]

AisleOne, one of my favorite sources for design inspiration, updated with a new version of their website.

They are not eligible, but you [...]

Fast Company has a year-end feature rounding up the 14 biggest moments in design from the past decade. While I’m not sure I agree with all of the choices, it’s pretty crazy to think back to the first time you saw an iPod, or the fact that Design With In Reach wasn’t around and everyone [...]
Dirt Ron has a great little video about his art on BMX Wonderland, shot by Justin Kosman. Along with being a bad ass shredder on a bike, Ron can get down with a pen and paper as well. In the video you will lean that Ron was actually born in Hawaii, how he got into [...]
