Whipped up some new business cards for an event this weekend. Hand-cut with some bits of negatives embedded between two layers of heavy stock.
LOVE. I’ve been trying to redesign my business cards (I’m moving!!) and these ones rock.

brilliant & beautiful.
reminds me of the taxi logo redesign challenged nytimes initiated after the horrible new nyc taxi logo was released: nyt’s readers’ redesigns
my favorite is Richard R’s: here (which makes the cab id number largest, which is the one piece of information you so often need the most - like when you realize you left something in the cab that’s so quickly pulling away)

I have absolutely no words. Kumi Yamashita slightly crinkles up small pieces of paper and shines light at a certain angle to reveal perfect facial silhouettes. So incredible.
DO THIS: Watch as this sculpture casts a silhouette of two heads conversing!

“Ink Calendar make use of the timed pace of the ink spreading on the paper to indicate time. The ink is absorbed slowly, and the numbers in the calendar are ‘printed ‘ daily. One a day, they are filled with ink until the end of the month. The calendar enhances the perception of time passing and not only signaling it. The aim of the project is to address our senses, rather than the logical and conscious brain.”
I want one.

Two Months Salary by Lee Gainer…
American artist Lee Gainer is based in Washington, DC and creates images that question culturally accepted perceptions. Her series ‘Two Months Salary’ is focused on the engagement ring industry. Through the series, Gainer investigates the evolution of the engagement ring from luxury item to must-have item. She discovered the popular convention of spending two-months salary on a ring was originally invented by De Beers in 1947. This purchasing habit continues today and became an interest of Gainer’s. Gainer calculated the average US salaries for a number of occupations and found a selection of ring’s based on the two-month rule. She assembled these into a series of twenty prints each featuring nine rings and the occupation name.
View the rest of the series here.

What I was interested in terms of Paris Opera series was that whole strange business of finding oneself with a whole lot of other people gathered in a darkened space, such as the opera, awaiting some special event. There is something quite magical about it.
