Living Things by Jessica Seamans

I got my delivery in the post the other day of the illustrated booklet from the series Living Things by Jessica Seamans. Published by Little Otsu. This number is specialized in Cryptids, Folkloric Beasts and Mythological Animals. Stunning, dark, intricate, nightmarishly beautiful. 

All Hallows' Eve.

Wednesday Addams has always been my favorite character from the Addams family. 

Ari's long black swan eye lashes. 

Playing the clown. 

Ghost with double personality.

Dancing the night away. 

Frosty Flakes Tony the tiger mutating into a crow mutating into a special web programmer. 

Candle fight between Wednesday Addams and Tony the Tiger.

Everything goes my way.

Everythiing goes my way. That's what I'm hoping for for a future project that I've been working on. Let's all cross our fingers and sway our heads to this song for me today, please.

There's not much that can go wrong in a videoclip filmed outside, with a bright red lipped girl, a beige trench coat, ferns and a load of bambis. 

Posts are a bit scarce this week, but on their way.

Pot luck dinner at Ori's.

Ori hosted a cozy night at hers on Sunday and everybody contributed. I like this potluck dinner concept. 

I like the contrast of expressions between Fotini and Panos in this photo. 

Dutch Design Week 2012.

This year the graphic design of Dutch Design Week was a bit intrusive, I found. Here we have a photo of Kiki and Joost. Kiki can't be recognized and Joost's face is partially covered. I wonder how Kiki feels. 

The architects of this building must be thrilled about Media Markt's discrete signs on the façade. 

Alex Motta getting his prize for nanotechnologies. Congratulations!

No parking?

Billboards are THE thing lately. 

Kirstie van Noort and Rogier Arents - Color Collision. 

Copied from the exhibition caption, "Materials re affected by circumstances. The pigment in red cabbage is subject to a striking change in color when the PH value in the environment changes. When applied to ceramics this results in crockery in unprecedented colors. The intriguing moment of color collision is catered in film and photography. 

Startling fox. 

Jurgen Bey and Rianne Makkink. 

Impressive location for The Incredible Machine's show. 

This incredible machine counts your ping pong score...

... and transfers the score to your smart phone!

This incredible machine tracks your skateboard...

and films your moves...

changing cameras depending on your position!

Shylight by Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta. 
"Shylight is a light hidden in a cocoon. It is based on the natural process by which flowers attact and repel pollen-gathering bees. It falls out of its cocoon, opens its petals and floats down to show all its splendor. At the slightest danger it flips shut and retreats into his shell."

Click below to see it in movement. It was one of my favorite pieces.

I'm always amazed at how much space is available for young designers in The Netherlands. 

Happy bus ride. 

Rachel and Georg. 

Lawrence's puppy face. 

Slimy movement.

I liked watching this worm move accross the path in Kinderdijk.

Four days with parents.

If you ever need to park in the parking lot next to Museumpark, you should reconsider. We were caught in there for what seemed to be quite a while without any easy way out and a very loud and unsettling blowing noise. We finally found our way out through this creepy green lit tunnel and what i think was a service exit.

Barones of Boetzelaer. Painting by Pyke Koch. She looks unamused.

Nothing like a nice cuppa to wait for the rain to stop. 

Cooking for parents is always a challenge.

The windmills made my father happy. 

Creepy statue of typical Dutch woman. Those eyes.
