Seinfeld fans of the world rejoice! As a tribute to the long running show, designer Nathan Manire has created a slick poster featuring the many props that made the show the hit that it was. Titled “These Pixels are Making Me Thirsty” (clever) the print features a border made of muffin tops, tasty but salty pretzels, and is filled with wonderfully illustrated icons inspired by the show. I love that the poster itself has no title… it’s like a litmus test for a true fan! [Read more...]

This has to be one of the most beautiful and insane toothpick sculptures ever created… not only did Scott Weavers “Rolling Through San Francisco” take 35 years to construct, but it used over 100,000 of the tiny wooden sticks and over 3,000 hours of his time. The sculpture is also unique in that it features multiple “tours” of the city taken by ping pong balls that roll around and through the landmarks.

Paying tribute to the legend of Muhammad Ali like never before, internationally lauded artist Michael Kalish has recently completed an entirely unique vision of the king of boxing. Titled “reALIze,” the sculpture appears like a massive tangle of wire, tubing and boxing bags when viewed from most angles, but should the viewer step into the perfect position a huge portrait of Ali pops into perspective.
Truly monumental in its size and scope, the sculpture uses 1,300 boxing speed bags, two miles of aluminum tubing and five miles of stainless steel cable to create the knock out portrait.
