Depressed Copywriter
In the new Tumblr ‘Depressed Copywriter’, copywriters Chris Sheldon, Mariana Oliveira, Whitney Ruef and Tedd Wood have altered some pretty standard, altogether bland , print ads morphing them into hilarious, topical, poetic messages. As a copywriter myself, I find this highly entertaining.
Manhole Cover Art in Japan
Manholes aren’t really artists’s first choice. However 95% of Japan’s 1,780 municipalities you will find artistic manhole covers unique to each city and town. It has become apart of the country’s national culture and it’s fascinating to see the different designs and styles that each town and city has chosen to represent them. With over 6,000 manhole cover artworks, it’s no surprise that spotting and photographing them has become a hobby for many.
Before I Die I Want to...
"Before I die, I want to...." is the brain child of photographers KS Rives and Nicole Kenney where they asked the simple question: What do you want to do before you die? Both started the project with the news that Polaroid would be discontinuing products, allowing a symbolic death of this iconic product. I loved reading the different responses - some were silly while others were incredibly honest.

Google Einstein Logo
I consider this Google Logo Design as an Ode to the great Albert Einstein.
With Google being so highly used worldwide and making such an impact in additional Industries besides the Internet alone, it is not wonder they should be considered a great innovative force. With that, it comes naturally to easily place them in the same sentence with a grat mind such as Albert Einstein. He has made impacts (some positive…some not so) in his own time, and Google is making their own stamp in this Digital Era.

Traffic Light Tree
This bit of public art blends nature with traffic in one confusing sculture. It’s Pierre Vivant’s Traffic Light Tree. A giant sculpture of fully-functioning traffic lights in London. For some reason it’s parked next to a roundabout near Canary Wharf.
It was created by the Public Art Commissions Agency and it’s sure to confuse tourists, since roundabouts are confusing all by themselves.
