Massive Creatures Project

I went to the Really Really Free Market yesterday. It's a monthly event (3rd Sunday of each month) in Manhattan (Judson Memorial Church, 55 South Washington Square) where you can pick up really really free stuff, eat some really really free food, get a really really free haircut, etc. While there, amongst other things, I picked up a collage packet from this art collective in Bushwick. They were also running the free tarot readings.

Anyway, they are encouraging people to use the packets to create art and mail it back to them for a roof top showing. There were many different packets, but I chose the one with the creepy monkey.

Humanizing Design

This isn't actually by me, I just found it pretty funny.



This was the front page of the Home section of the Staten Island Advance yesterday.

The article is about how home appliances are being designed in a more user friendly manner. However, the cold, angular kitchen they used to illustrate "Humanizing Design" almost looks like an editorial cartoon. There's absolutely nothing cozy or human about it! Even the typeface on the headline is cold and angular. Wonderful irony there.
