Neato, Frito
It’s been a busy week, so posts have been scarce I’m afraid. My teacher and mentor at the yoga studio is away for two weeks and I’ve picked up several of her classes as a substitute. I’m having great fun but it has taken away from time at the desk for writing.
So to tide you over until I get back to original material, here are some cool links I’ve had fun with in recent days:
Little sis turned me on to the Gama-Go website. Connie is a connoisseur of Japanese pop culture and design, and this kind of thing is right up her alley. There’s something very appealing about this little guy. And check out the design for one of their men’s tee shirts:
Another fun site I’ve recently added to my Design Links is Plan 59. The site collects and sells images from mid-century commercial design. These images straddle the line between cool and kitsch for me.
And high on the “just plain neat-o” meter is this site managed by Nikon. The Nikon Small World competition collects scientific photos of extremely tiny things. Some of these images are startlingly beautiful. See last year’s winners here.
I’ll be back with more gentle ravings next week. Have a nice weekend.
