Okay, so this is an ad for T-Mobile, but it’s really cool! They hired some dancers to just start dancing at a certain time in Liverpool Street Station, and everyone else sort of started to join in! It’s awesome- my favorite part is people’s reactions to the sudden dancing! I wish we all just danced around more…
dogs that look like people
If you’re looking for a way to while away the afternoon, may I recommend Dogs Looking Like People, a little blog entirely devoted to cute pictures of dogs doing human-like things. Or sometimes just being cute. I got the above pictures from there – they just tickle me pink! Enjoy…
logos
These creative logos made by Wolff Olins really amuse me! I love the pretty flower one of course, but who doesn’t love plastic farm animals? More logos on their Flickr.
Via for me, for you.
dan-ah kim
These ethereal pieces by Dan-ah Kim are too much! I just love the unworldly feeling of them, and the use of textures and sewing with the paint. Gorgeous! Check out My Love For You’s post about her to see a cool music video she worked on as well.
linda solovic’s owl collages
I adore these collages by Linda Solovic – the colors, the printed papers, the shapes – they are so cute! You can see more collages here, and of course check out Linda’s website as well!

might be better than fireworks…
Dressed in sheepskin coats and hats, locals in Nuanquan China celebrate the Lantern Festival each year by flinging molten iron at a wall to create beautiful showers of sparks. The tradition reportedly started 4 or 500 years ago when a blacksmith was too poor to buy fireworks to celebrate the festival. A little dangerous, but so so beautiful! Check it out!

early emoticons?
I came across these on Made you Look. Neat, right? I can’t decide if I think they are legitimately from the 70’s or not. Perhaps! Either way, I like them, and that they’re “films.” A tiny drop more of information at Made You Look.
embroidered silver platter
I am totally amazed by this piece by Lynette Andreasen! She found an antique silver platter and embroidered an outline of an old image of her father’s family onto it. When I first saw the top picture, I thought it was embroidered leather and that it was very cool – so you can imagine my reaction when I found it was a silver platter – even cooler! Check out Lynette’s pictures too; she has an interesting little artist’s statement there.
the seed
This little video by Johnny Kelly follows the life of a seed! It’s really neat; I love the style of the animation! Give it a spin, I think you’ll enjoy it too!

L.E.D. Sheep!
There are no words for this video other than totally awesome! Samsung paid these guys to go to Wales and put some LED lights on sheep and herd them into patterns to make different displays! The sheep were probably kind of confused, but boy did they help make some cool visuals! Check it out, it is just amazing!
P.S. Props to the sheepdogs too!
