Traveling around the web tonight, I found two different, unrelated, brilliant Frankenstein interpretations. I’m totally inspired by them both.
Logo by Siah Design, found at LogoPond, a great source for logo design inspiration.
Book cover by Julian Hansen, found at his portfolio site.
Just spotted the best looking tissue box I’ve ever seen. Actually, probably the only good looking tissue box I’ve ever seen. But regardless of its lack of competition, isn’t it fabulous?
It even comes in colors! I would take that shiny blue one and put it in an all white bathroom and be happy as a clam.

I cannot stop looking at these photographs. Painter and photographer Alexa Meade’s canvas is the human body. Each of these photos is of a real person, painted to look like a painting. Breathtaking.

Found this today on Mr. Lady’s Posterous. Lightsaber chopsticks. Awesome, right?
Buy them here.

Vintage design is fun, eh?
Awesome. Found this in the New York Times today — an interactive map of Holden Caulfield’s journey through NYC. Roll over the different sites and find an excerpt from Catcher in the Rye describing each place. Check it out here.
Thanks for the tour JD Salinger. And thanks for preserving that New York forever.

I mean, sure the double knob thing was sorta frustrating on the original Etch A Sketch. Diagonals were challenging, and curves were nearly impossible. But that was part of the charm, right? And it was also what separated it from, say, a Magna Doodle (which didn’t exist in my childhood). Or those static-lift drawing pads, which could not have been more annoying.
So now they’ve replaced the knobs with a trackball, eh? And they’re calling it Etch A Sketch freestyle?
Frankly, I’m not sure what to think. You?
