As a designer and web person, I get asked to help people with there websites a lot. About three months back I discovered a service called flavors.me. This is now THE service I send people looking for a dead simple and pretty website.

Those pesky NYC artists are making us think again. This sculptural expression created by Jeremy Dean very literally juxtaposes the old and the new. In the spirit of eco-statements, I would have preferred that a totalled Hummer went into the project rather than a perfectly functional (albeit gas guzzling) automobile. Waste not, want not applies to artists too.

This is a great combination of information and graphics.
The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all.

Recently my good friend Matt Hebermehl inadvertently turned me on to the work of David Ellis. Ellis’ work is described as follows on his website:
Ellis’ paintings are frequently improvised. He works directly on the walls of spaces that remain open to the public during installation and shares the making of the work with viewers. The experience is much like a band playing in front of a passing audience.
It’s been a while since this new form of street art by Joshua Allen Harris made it’s debut on the streets of New York City. But the allure hasn’t faded. Harris continues to produce extremely interesting work that shows up serendipitously around the city that never sleeps. I am still hoping for a King Kong tribute that harnesses one of the massive AC/Ventilation units atop so many of New Yorks skyscrapers.
THE MACHINE from Bent Image Lab is an animated story following a machined creature as his independence and knowledge of the world grows. Great video.
