With soap this cool you’ll seriously consider the state of your personal hygiene before you resort to using it. Although, what better way to get rid of the grime after a long afternoon of LARPing than with a hand-crafted recreation of the famous Han Solo in carbonite prop from Empire Strikes back in soap?
I love Caleb Charland‘s geeked-out photography. His work, in essence, consists of scientific experiments explored on film — magnets, electricity, fluid dynamics — all beautiful. My process and choice of subject matter stems from growing up in a do-it-yourself household where I learned to appreciate the power that tools and materials hold. As I explore […]
Los Angeles artist Shing Yin Khor was our Featured Maker about two weeks ago. She’s just added a few more of her trademark Petri dish monsters, which are selling fast. Shown at top is Maurice. Below that, in clockwise order, are Agatha, Lucy, Ed, and Buford. Oh, and Shing herself. She’s the one not in a Petri dish.
These are the work of Lubbock, Texas artist Dustin Wallace. Above is Homage 1.0, shown in both humanoid and jet transforms, and below, Homage 2.0, featuring extra-wicked elbow knives.

He recently emailed to tell us about his latest project, a website he calls “B-Roll: One Creative Thing a Day:” I am attempting to do one creative project a day as well […]
The idea of makin’ little dudes and dudettes from your leftover components is not new to us, but rarely have I seen it done with such élan as in these examples from Flickr user(s) Lenny&Meriel. There’s tons more! [via MAKE Flickr Pool]
Glassblower Nick Paul of Chicago drinks beer. (Hopefully, he has some friends who help him out with it, from time to time.) Then he takes the empty bottles and blows out their necks to make flat-sided tumblers. Then, in a stroke of packaging/marketing/recycling genius, he puts them back in their original six-packaging and sells them through his online storefront, Windy City Glass. The tumblers have smooth, rounded rims and are annealed to relieve internal stresses. No part of the original bottle is wasted. I love the green-on-green simplicity of his Heineken glasses, above, but the gestalt awesomeness of his Arrogant Bastard Ale tumblers, pictured below, may prove irresistible to me. If I know me, you folks have about an hour after this post goes up before I cave in and buy them for myself.
