Canadian artist, known by his Roadsworth nickname, creates witty street art around Montreal that are more than just mere attempts to liven up the public space. It started as his manifesto in support for more bicycle lanes and respect for cyclists in 2001, and even had the guy arrested in 2004. Luckily, due to strong public support, Roadsworth was released. Since then the artist has been receiving numerous commissions for his work and continued to draw attention to bicycle lanes by applying his creative stencils.
¿Se te ha pasado por la cabeza alguna vez comerte un mueble? Aunque suene a locura ya no supone ningún trastorno de la conducta alimentaria.
En principio es una lámpara de mesa como otra cualquiera, pero le diferencia el material en el que está realizada. Se trata de un plástico muy especial a partir de algas, glicerina vegetal, colorantes y aromas naturales que combinados con agua destilada forman una gelatina rígida a la que se le da la forma de lámpara antes de colocarle una pequeña bombilla LED. Proyecto obra del diseñador y arquitecto estadounidense Victor Wayne Vetterlein.
Al acabarse la vida útil de la lámpara, llega el momento de comérsela. Para ello hay que lavarla y sumergirla en agua para que se ablande. Pero ojo, ¡no te olvides de retirar el cable!
Una lámpara ecológica, 100% biodegradable y sabrosa. Además, ¡puedes elegir entre varios sabores! Cereza, arándano, naranja o manzana verde.

There should be quite a bunch of horror movie makers who’d want to hire 26-year-old Sandra Holmbom from Sweden. Her latest project is a bizarre third eye that leaves you confused and unsure whether it’s an eye or lips you’re looking at. To make the detailed painting even more realistic, Sandra, aka Psychosandra, even attached fake eyelashes to her upper lip.
“I thought it was a long time since I did something with my lips. Wanted to do something weird, yes, I can say that it is weird. But pretty, it’s not, but I had fun anyway,” says Sandra. You’ll fing more of her bizarre artwork, if you dare to check!

In order to address the problem of over consumption, Chinese artist Ai Weiwei created a giant bicycle installation made of 760 individual bikes. The artist chose bicycles as a symbol of mass production – quite understandably, as they are the most popular means of transportation among the workers of China. Besides representing over consumption, the chain and sprocket mechanism of the bicycles also symbolizes the matrix of the main power of the country: its labor force, its people.
The installation is currently being exhibited in San Gimignano’s Galleria Continua, Italy, through February 16.

Yes, yes! We LOVE the cool, clean, minimalist interior (no news here to our readers) of the brand-new 100 square-meter retail store, the HITGallery, opened at the end of September in the Times Square shopping center in Hong Kong.
Japanese artist Kumi Yamashita uses various seemingly simple objects and some back light to create incredible shadow paintings. A large steel exclamation point, lit from right angle becomes a question mark, aluminum numbers add up to create a silhouette of a woman, bent aluminum sheets cast shadows that look like faces in profile – the possibilities seem endless!
“I sculpt shadow with light or sometimes light with shadow, but both function in essentially the same manner. I take objects and carve and place them in relation to a single light source. The complete artwork is therefore comprised of both the material (the solid objects) and the immaterial (the light or shadow).”

At a distance, Sagaki Keita’s works look like recreations of classical paintings and sculptures, but when you come closer, you start to see that they’re composed of hundreds and thousands of whimsical cartoon doodles.
Amazingly, all his works are completely improvised and hand-drawn without being drafted first. Tokyo-based artist draws in ink, usually with a 0.38mm pen and takes anywhere from a few weeks to 10 months to finish an illustration.
