There once was a boy who dreamt the world.

He held his dreams close to his heart, he threw them to the wind, he threw them to the ground, he even gave one to a dwarf...

And though he gave and gave, he never ran out. 

Every night, every morning, and every day, he would dream some more. 

One sunny day, a dream popped out and flew ahead of the boy. 

“Follow me,” it said. 

The boy looked curiously at the dream. At first glance it looked like all the others dreams he had dreamt before: bright, shiny, and full of hope. 

But as he stared some more, he began to feel his heart beat inside his chest. His lips started to dry, his hair stand. 

“It’s you!” He gasped with excitement and a slight reservation...

Cool [Upside-down] Things + Justin Timberlake

Now playing: Let It Fall by Lykke Li

Here are a few more stuff on the web that I've found a tad bit interesting. OK, a little more than just a "tad bit". Most of these are pretty rad.

Invisible Shoes by Andreia Chaves
This low-cut boot reflects its surroundings making the earth part of your wardrobe. Regardless of being environmental or not, these pair of shoes make you feel like your helping stop global warming. This interesting design is part an innovative collection of footwear concepts. I for one am excited to see her concepts materialize in the near future. (I wonder if people will wear them too?)

Fully Functional Upside-down House, South Korea. I always thought that these kind of stuff never made it past the drawing board. But, believe it or not, these houses are not just mere art installations but are fully functional. More at Modern Met & Spot Cool Stuff.

Wizard of Oz-much? Korean tattooist Kim Joon's "Tattoo & Taboo" is now on display at the Sundaram Tagore Gallery in Beverly Hills. His work is vaguely explained here.


I haven't been feeling very well the past couple of days, I've been feeling somewhat like this:

This is one from the collection of Stephen T.C. Morris in flickr. I like the concept. It hazily expresses how I sometimes feel--as if things aren't "straight"; as if things were abnormal and distorted in an uncomfortable kind of way; as if I were sick and felt like throwing up... Check out more of his stuff. Some are also pretty comical. Like this one:

Talk about getting your head dunked in the toilet, aye. Proud to say that I cannot relate.

Not to forget, here's one of Justin Timberlake with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots doing a homage of HIP HOP hits. Got this from JT's twitter page. He. Is. Oh. Some. ohhhsome. Idol.

What it wouldn’t be, it would...

I got this from Design You Trust - Part 6. The original post is from Here.

“What captured me the most is the title of this project: "What it is, it isn’t." beside the image of awkward looking cabinet, of course. Then, I realized the text was taken from ‘Alice in Wonderland’, which is written by Lewis Carroll and this project by Ontwerpduo get its inspiration from it.

What it is, it isn’t.
‘If I had a world of my own,
everything would be nonsense.
Nothing would be what it is,
because everything would be what it isn’t.
And, contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn’t be.
And what it wouldn’t be, it would.
You see?’
- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland.


To describe the work better, these are exact text from Ontwerpduo:

‘Objects are how we perceive them to be. Our minds make things what they are and for us this is reality. Think of a branch hanging in the water. We see, with the refraction of light, the branch under the waterline in a different angle. But we know that in reality the shape of this branch is different. We learned how to see the world… read the rest and see more pictures here”
