this makes me happy and sad at the same time
The industrial designer in me loves to see a nice cut-away of an object but this is almost sacrilegious! I think anybody that notices the beauty of an Aston Martin knows that they're built very well and with great attention to detail. It's bad enough that they need to crash-test a bunch of these but did they really need to go rub it in our faces and cut one open!? This was for some party in NYC premiering the new DBS Volante by
Aston Martin.

Vinyl art by Paul Villinski
This guy loooooves butterflies! So much that most of
Paul Villinski's art incorporates butterfly shapes in various materials including vinyl records. Hopefully no good records or butterflies were killed in making these pieces.

Fire Tagging
Yep, 3 graffiti posts in a row...I could keep going but I have some other stuff to post after this. So, this has probably been done before at some point since it's a pretty simple concept. Plus, people have been tagging with lighters and torches for a loooong time. Still, the pictures of this process are dope.

Bikers Revenge
This clever little intention is by two devilishly brilliant students at University of the Arts here in Philadelphia. Keying up your enemy's car just got way more fun. This may also prevent asshole drivers to think twice before cutting you off or driving too close when they have plenty of room! They explain it better in 'designy©' talk
(remember, I copyrighted that term!)Only $5 + shipping for a pair of these! I'm buying some!!
"These modified handlebar plugs speak to the disgruntled urban cyclist. By retro-fitting stock parts with up-cycled keys, bikers can now find satisfaction with close encounters. This concept puts an new twist on the timeless tradition of car-keying revenge." by Matt Braun and Jared Delorenzo
