Cool Hunting Video is Back!
(24 April 2006) - I guess this is one of those "good problems"—we've exceeded out our allotted bandwidth over at .mac, where we've been hosting our video files for Cool Hunting Video, and they have shut us down till the end of the month.

renourish: nutrients for the graphic design community
(21 April 2006) - renourish is an online resource for green design and the result of two years of research by Eric Benson, who created the site as his MFA thesis at the University of Texas at Austin.

Earth Day
(21 April 2006) - Tomorrow is Earth Day so today we're all Green. Every day should be Earth Day, and it might be for some, but having a day set aside to call attention to living in a more environmentally sustainable way is still a good thing. To start off, here's a recap of some of our past Green posts: Stuffbump Jimi iPod nano Case Laloo's Goat's Milk...

Rob Ryan at Paul Smith
(13 April 2006) - Fitting in seamlessly with the eclectic aesthetic of Paul Smith are the colorful cut-outs of artist Rob Ryan, and an exhibition of them has just started at the designer's women's shop on Sloane Avenue in London. Not unlike Scottish artist David Shrigley, Ryan likes to hide an unsettling message in his seemingly sweet and simplistic pictures, which are painstakingly put together using delicate paper cut...

(06 April 2006) - Sinking Muji's best-practice principles deeper into the global product design concious, the Japanese retailer is holding its first Muji International Design Competition.

Tags!

Jacob Williams: Nightmare of the Haunted Buddha
(23 February 2006) - Brooklyn-based artist Jacob Williams' day-glo psychedelia already looks like a trip through a Disneyland ride on drugs, which makes Tim Regan's recent video piece (created to announce the opening reception for Williams' solo installation "Nightmare of the Haunted Buddha") a natural fit. Set to a dramatic Psycho-esque soundtrack, the animation sets Williams' mountains, wild-haired women, and panthers in motion, which nicely establishes the tone...
