HOTmilk Wins Awards (Lingerie Planet)

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 21:02:51 GMT

The creators of the fashionable maternity lingerie line HOTmilk have just been recognized with two women’s business awards. Lisa Ebbing and Ange Crosbie won “Best New Business” and “Best Micro Business” at the Bloom Her Business Conference and Awards. My guess is that plenty of women who voted on the winners remember the bland lingerie options facing them when they were pregnant - the experience that...

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:52:00 GMT

I just read a very interesting interview of artist Amir H. Fallah, founder and creative editor of Beautiful/Decay Magazine. Below is just an excerpt, but you can read the whole interview at Spraygraphic . My process is quite intuitive. I do some preliminary sketches or take some notes before I start.

Complete NES + Screen Hacked Into Cartridge (Retro Thing)

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:25:00 GMT

A while back we wrote about a Famicom that was ingeniously hacked to fit inside an NES cartridge. Great. Exciting. I never expected a project like that to be bested. A few days ago "Darkeru" posted on Ben Heckendorn's console hacking forum about his project. Not only did he fit the Famicom guts inside a cart, he was able to fit the controller and a screen in as well. Granted, this hack doesn't play...

San Fransisco-based artist Alexis MacKenzie must be patient. She has to be in order to create beautiful collages from the vintage books that she collects. There’s an amazing amount of detail in each piece. Elements are painstakingly transplanted from book to paper with scissors and glue. No Photoshop cut n’ pastes here. time savedtime saved
