You won’t be emerging as a beautiful butterfly, but you might just emerge as a more alert version of you. The Sleep Suit is designed to provide you with your own little personal sleep space wherever you go, while also providing a generous amount of airflow. Because nobody likes cocoon sweat. The project attempts to challenge the idea of personal ...

Take an iconic movie monster, add some neon color and Warholian-flair, and boom… instant pop art. These Marylinized Monsters by Jesse Lenz incorporate the iconic Warhol portrait of Marylin Monroe, or at least Marylin’s hair, into famous portraits of famous movie monsters. Link [via]

There’s something about the packaging of Atari-era games that really strikes my design fancy. The minimalistic bit style was both honest and gorgeous. I actually don’t think I’d mind if modern movie posters were designed in the same style. Some modern posters could certainly use the revision. Or at least a few zombies added here or there. Hit the jump ...

You’d think a computer, with all of is modern technology, would be able to boil down at least a bit of the ambiguity which constantly surrounds the Mona Lisa. A computer designed to do so might be able to shed some light on the woman, but when we’re talking a recreation made out of only computer folders, Lisa is even ...

I don’t quite understand the association between toys and grandfather clocks. Maybe because grandparents are the bearers of awesome toys? Don’t know, don’t care. All I know is that this clock made of secondhand toys is pretty damn nifty. Don’t be put off by the hokey “grandfather” name. This clock will keep you young at heart. Link

It’s not everyday you get to see a Escherichia coli bacterium up-close and personal. But British artist Luke Jerram�s �Glass Microbiology� series brings the microscopic world into the limelight with sculptures designed to resemble viruses and bacteria. To create each one, Jerram used images from an electron microscope and had guidance from virologist Andrew Davidson of the University of Bristol ...

This poor Peanut has been living in the same mediocrity for decades now. It seems totally unfair. I think its about time Charlie Brown had himself a makeover. Growing up with the Peanuts I have to admit, I grew sick of Brown’s wishy-washy shit. There’s only so much indecisiveness I can take. Maybe a new look can give Charlie a ...

If you haven’t checked out or even heard of Barbie Massacre, you’ve gotta check out the site. If you have any sort of morbid curiosity for violence and crime mixed with the cultural phenomenon of Barbie dolls, it’s a must see.

What I wouldn’t pay to be at this party. Featuring all of your favorites, staring at the Adult Swim pool party is a surefire way to hate the winter even more. Gotta love how Brak is petting Brian. Brian’s expression is pretty classic. Even da a-freakin’ Pope makes an appearance. Link

OK, so sue me, it’s not one of those real “hey-look-at-me-I-actually-hold-tea” tea bags. In fact, there’s no tea involved at all. But what does happen is pretty magical, tea-free and all. Dunk the “tea” bag into a mug of water and the magic happens. Glowy, pretty magic. If you like this tea bagging, just wait until later. I’ll show you ...
