Everyone! Go check atelier v.!
These lovely inventions will definitely make you smile, and some of them might actually come in very handy around the house! (i think i will give these a go!)
They may not all be very safe, but that they are original can’t be denied!
Tageswerk is a photoblog i’ve already been folowing for quite some time. But only now i discovered Christian Baron’s second photoblog ‘feel the surface’. This special concept only contains 6 pictures until now, but i’m already a fan. I like this very personal project of his very much.

In my hometown Antwerp there is always something to do. Lots of theaters, exhibits, galleries, movie theaters and concerts brighten your night and day. When we first came to Tampico, i was afraid there was nothing cultural or artistic happening here. But luckily they were already building METRO, el espacio cultural metropolitano. Last week i went to see the ‘Rodin’ exhibit and i must say they made quite an effort on this building. The exhibit space already looks perfect, it’s a wide open industrial space with, of course, walls as white as fresh snow. In another room they had also a very good photography exhibit about mexicans crossing the border to America and the inhuman things happening over there. This ‘espacio cultural’ looks promising to me! I was curious about their theater program, but they are so new they didn’t even have a brochure printed and they couldn’t give me some actual information on the program either. So i guess i just have to go back once and a while to see what’s happening, very mexican :-) !
> i wasn’t allowed to take pictures, so this quick lomo-hipshot is the only one you’ll get. (framing in your head, twan, it works! :-)
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!
I’m even more tired after this weekend than i was before …
My friend Merel and her boyfriend Benjamin, both very talented illustrators, have launched their website! You can find them at www.merel-benjamin.be.
