korean artist jeongmee yoon’s ‘pink and blue project’ was inspired by her daughter. she would only wear pink and buy pink toys. she found this to be a common theme in korea, the us and around the world. when photographing girl’s in their world of pink, she realized that boys shared the same phenomenon except in a different hue: blue. the objects are arranged in the child’s room and photographed in a square format. jeongmee yoon was born in seoul and lives in new york.

Here is the most amazing intro for a skate video ever!

If you haven’t seen the Lakai Fully Flared video, it is something worth checking out. The Direction and Art Direction are really phenomenal and even if you aren’t into skateboarding, I can’t imagine anyone not being entertained by it……watch the whole thing…..its good for you!

I’m in the process of looking for a new set of wheels for the fam and came across this…….I really want one.

ikea1.jpgSo Ikea and I go way back, we have this love hate relationship going on. You know most of their stuff looks pretty cool but after a year of wear, its usally usless. We got this nice couch a few years back when we moved from australia, we got it in our house and man did it look awesome! Now it looks more like we rolled it down a mountain.

Last night I was putting together some new storage unit we got for the basement to put the kids toys in. Now its hard for me to type and right click because of the the dang blisters from that tiny allen key!

So we got three of these units, they are pretty well designed and fit heaps of toys! Fingers aside this is not too bad of an Ikea product……but i’ll let you know next year.

So we have this little coffee shop half way between our home and my office. Needless you say I’m there at least once a day and feel kinda like this comic. But its cool living in this small town………..i can go to this coffee shop just about any time during the day and see some one i know there and sometimes sit down for a chat. I’m looking at my trash can right now full of coffee cups from that coffee shop and one post-it note.

I picked this comic up from the guys over at Freelance Switch……one of my daily readings.
