ties’n things

sometimes things going wrong can turn out quite right …

In the previous post Kristel told me she had already seen the readymechs in her office. That reminded me of a ‘graffiti’ artist who is invading the world with his space invader graphics. I saw this in my street logos book.

For some time these mosaics representing the aliens from the old video game Space Invaders have been appearing in big cities. London, Paris, Tokyo, New York and others have already been attacked. On the website’s map you can see the conquered cities and the numerous invasions in that particular city. I think these invaders are all very well placed and fit the architectural history, but i can imagine some cities are not very happy with this kind of ‘graffiti’. I love it though! These invaders are a lovely exercise for the mind and without a doubt, everybody with some imagination and a sense of humour will come up with some funny stories which will make them laugh. I’m very curious about where this big invasion plan is heading towards …

For all you design nuts, get crafty and knock your favourite readymech together to decorate your desk, livingroom, … or start a puppet show.

Also check these nutcase designers’ website. They’re very good!

thank you joris for the tip!

too tired for words lately …

• How y’all guys doin?

• Yeah bro, you betcha!
• O, is that pizza? What’s on it? Cool, i’m gonna get me one of those bastards too!
• Bye guys, see ya soon!

I’m even more tired after this weekend than i was before …

To Mc Allen, Texas this time!
We go shopping in the U.S. because clothes, shoes, electronics, etc. are almost 50% cheeper just across the border (Mexico handles very high import taxes). But the most important reason: you can’t find fitting pants here if you are above 1,65 m tall … america is the closest option.

coming back on monday.

I read something over at Pietel’s and eyecandy’s blog this morning which got me confused. I also work with mac and noticed colours aren’t always what they’re supposed to be. The results are different in every application i use, though colour profiles are the same. This ColorSync sounds promising indeed, but doesn’t seem to fulfill expectations. Or am i not using this correctly? I should get into this more thoroughly because colours are too important in my line of work to not get them right. Anyway, not now, later on today … this is too complicated on an early saturday morning … haven’t had my coffee yet.

Suggestions anyone?
