V.O.W N°26 // Melvin the Machine photo © HEYHEYHEY V.O.W N°26 (27 June - 3 July 2011) We think of innovation and invention as highly engineered, complex systems that are built by some mad scientist in a remote space. The process results in long and layered equations, drawings and an endless source of references illustrated in a step by step process to further explain the construction of the device or machine. We have familiarized ourselves with this elaborate system through Einstein, Sherlock Holmes, even the coyote as he tries to invent ways to capture the road runner. Melvin the Magical Mixed Media Machine is best described as a Rube Goldberg machine with a twist. Created by studio HEYHEYHEY for the 2010 Dutch Design Week, Melvin was featured for 10 days at the MU artspace where 14,000 people came to see it perform. sources: Melvin the Machine

Things that have always been considered science fiction are becoming normal day-to-day components of our lives. And while we have been seeing invention after breakthrough over and over in the last couple of decades, this next ten years is going to blow everything else out of the water.

Video Game Characters as Traditional Woodblock Prints Illustrator Jed Henry combines modern video games with traditional Japanese Woodblock art prints to make these intriguing illustrations. Henry teamed up with woodblock artist David Bull to make actual prints that are now running for (an already successful) campaign on Kickstarter. Via Kottke Those Aren't Mountains, It's an Aquarium! What look like foggy landscapes from alien planets, or maybe even the moody landscapes in some Rococo era painting, are actually carefully planned images of aquariums.

Three Unique Hotels Made from Recycled Material Wouldn’t it be fun to stay in a hotel that was made from something different, like a recycled plane? Well, you actually can! Even though traveling is fun, almost every hotel that you stay in has the same drab, boring appearance. They all have the same ugly paintings that hang on the same plain white walls. And of course, they’re all made from the same standard building material. Wouldn’t it be fun to stay in a hotel that was made from something different, like a recycled plane?

Lackadaisy Expressions Boy, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure!

Just give me a day or two to whip something up..." Um. Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures.
