Weird & Wonderful: iPhone app fridge magnets

We’ve all met an iPhone bore – asking whoever they meet what new apps they’ve got, and then (unimpressed) smugly handing over their shiny little device for a peak at the latest ‘awesome’ app that you that will change your life forever.
Well, here’s a few apps I’m sure they won’t have seen. From Jailbreak [...]

Weird & Wonderful: Lego Star Wars Foosball Table

One of the many wonders of this Internet age in which we live, is the staggering availability of Lego-inspired creativity. Decades on, and the Lego mantra still holds true – you are only limited by your imagination. Case in point being this Lego Star Wars Foosball table created by an Austrian Lego fanatic. Using [...]

Weird & Wonderful: Crayola rocket launch

Perhaps Ad agency Fallon missed a trick when they were promoting the Sony Bravia. Thousands of coloured bouncing balls? Great. Exploding paint in a Glagsow high-rise? Pretty cool. But did they think of rockets disguised as Crayons? John Coker did. Don’t ask me why.

Weird & Wonderful: Cutting edge jewellery

Do you ever find yourself wondering “what are all the best dressed goths and emo kids wearing this season”. No, neither do I. Although I would imagine this little number might be highly sought after. Designed by Benoit Patoureaux from Art Lebedev Studio, Punctirus jewellery is for the goth that has nothing – except [...]

Weird & Wonderful: How to recycle record sleeve art, creatively

First we had the Sleeve-face craze. And now? Well, the humble record sleeve has taken on a life of its own. Kudos to New York artist Christian Marclay for investing as much time in his work as he has records.

Weird & Wonderful: Apple shot glasses fresh for Halloween

When it comes to Halloween parties, I’m afraid I’m too old to go ‘dooking’ for apples. However, that’s not to say the humble apple needs to take a back seat at your party. Why not try making them into shot glasses. You know what they say, “an apple a day…
