Blind Spot-Free Mirror

Blind Spot-Free Mirror

Drexel U. math professor Dr. R. Andrew Hicks created this mirror which provides a distortion-free 45 degree field of view by turning numerous tiny mirrors into one larger mirror, like a disco ball.

Hide & Seek Chest

Hide & Seek Chest

A magician-inspired bedside chest by Florent Coirer. There is a mirror in front of the chest that is tilted by 45°, reflecting the pattern of the lining and making it look like the chest is empty.

Telecaster Reimagined

Telecaster Reimagined

Mathew Schneider’s redesign of the Fender Telecaster. The pickup is a nod to the acoustic guitar, the knobs and switches are now buttons and the body is swathed in textiles and leather.

The Beauty of High Speed

The Beauty of High Speed

The high-speed specialists at The Marmalade use real technical genius to make their amazing slo-mo shots. That includes the use of Spike: a robotic arm that moves with incredible precision.

Chen Chun-Hao: Nail Art

Chen Chun-Hao: Nail Art

Like Marcus Levine, artist Chen Chun-Hao uses nails in his art. But instead of using large nails to create portraits, Chen uses fine “mosquito nails” to emulate traditional Chinese ink paintings.

The Deep

The Deep

Another excellent animated short from stop motion master PES – the one brought us Fresh Guacamole – who turned common metal tools, parts and accessories into flora and fauna from the sea.

Tim Burton: A Filmography

Tim Burton: A Filmography

Martin Woutisseth created this animated tribute to Tim Burton, beautifully capturing the spirit of his films. We like Edward Scissorhands best, which is no surprise since it’s still our favorite Burton flick.

Zuckerberg Facebook Portrait

Artist OhiseeRED returns with another of her unusual portraits, this time, she cuts the edges of books to create a detailed image of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Face. Book. Get it?

Cliff Hanger Mug

Cliff Hanger Mug

Concept mugs by The Play Coalition that have climbing holds in place of a handle. Perfect for the brave and the bold who want to live an intense life but are too lazy to actually do so.

Nut Dice Ring

Nut Dice Ring
Buy

A cool piece of sterling silver jewelry that serves a practical purpose too. We’re not talking about putting it on the end of a bolt, but using the built in dice faces as an impromptu decision maker.

Helicopter Ceiling Fan

Helicopter Ceiling Fan

Raffael Iannello Studios created this awesome ceiling fan made to look like a 1:6 scale version of a Hughes/MD 500 helicopter. Since the real chopper can fly upside-down, so does the fan.

In Praise of Rust

In Praise of Rust

Paintings of old vans and trucks in New York by Kevin Cyr. The vehicles are peppered with graffiti, dents and other signs of wear and tear, tangible metaphors of obsolescence.

Ribeira de Carpinteira Bridge

Ribeira de Carpinteira Bridge

A beautiful pedestrian bridge in Portugal’s city of Covilhã, JLCG Arquitectos’s wood-lined structure spans a distance of about 721 feet, providing a dramatic walk worth slowing down for.

Tiny Little Lives

Tiny Little Lives

(NSFW) Redditor CaptJax’s wife makes unsettling dioramas depicting people committing grim and lascivious acts in otherwise idyllic or mundane scenes. Because everything’s not all right.

Happy Food

Happy Food

Looks like the protagonist in Yum Yum’s latest animation could really use that new ketchup bottle we were talking about. But in the end, he gets what he needed. Hot dog toy (and friends) here.

Areaware Wall Clamp

Areaware Wall Clamp

Designed by Brendan Ravenhill, the Wall Clamp is similar to the Tick Clip. It’s a pair of iron clamps you bolt to the wall. Stick a plank of wood or metal in them and you get an instant shelf.

Rockabilly Batman

Rockabilly Batman

Italian artist Denis Madri reimagines Batman characters in 50’s rockabilly style. It’s similar to what you saw in the animated series but his interpretation definitely has a style all its own.

Superhero Album Covers

Superhero Album Covers

DeviantArtist Uwe de Witt takes on classic album covers and envisions what they would have looked like if they were recorded by superheroes instead of the original artists. The Wall x The Thing FTW.

Quirky Tap

Quirky Tap

A concept pouring nozzle designed to dispense either 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon of fluid at a time. It’s meant for oil bottles, but we think it would work great with other ingredients as well.
