This poster of Manhattan's map (titled 'Man Hat Tan') that was a collaboration between Three Potato Four and designer Jim Datz. It combines several of their loves - New York City, typography, color, 50's inspired illustrations, and urban signage.

Create your own love marks.

»Traces of an Imaginary Affair« is a kit containing a set of nine tools which can be used to create an imaginary affair. These tools leave marks on the body, such as bite marks, carpet burns, bondage marks, love bites, scratches and bruises. In addition, probes of perfume, lipstick and hair can be applied to either the body or clothes.

It's actually an art project. The project broaches the issue of intentionally instigated jealousy in relationships, which often serves to bolster self-esteem or to test the strength of partnerships. How to use it? you can see it here :

Hair traces

Rug carpet burn's traces

Bruise traces

Bondage's traces

Bite's traces

Scratches traces

Kiss traces

Love Bite's traces

Very kinky...and my final suggestion? "don't play with fire"

Okay, now it's time for your daily inspiration (how dare for me to call it daily, while i'm not posting daily :p).
Today I ran across few interesting things, it's not much actually, since i'm not in the mood of "wandering" (blame Mike Sego, blame Fluff apps for making an Egg Hunt 2009 event, i was stuck at Facebook just to find Easter Egg).
After this "Found it Today #5", i think i'm gonna take a break from sharing something...i'm bored actually, so you can expect less serious topic in the future (hey hey, don't be dissapointed...it's not that i'm gonna stop sharing something, i'm just bored, and i want to make all of you laugh or at least smiling by reading my stories :p). So just wait for the next post...gotta think what should i write next :p my daily life maybe?
or, do you have an idea?

Ah, let's skip the chit chat part, let's get it on!


1. Tebe Interesno's Work of Photo Manipulation




Tebe Interesno is the screen name the designer used in his blog. It means "You Are Interested" in Russian, but his real name is Dmitry Maximov, a Russian designer (hey, i sound so smart...call me Mr. Google Everything). I love his work, combining illustration with photography. It seems so real, magical, and somehow cute. It probably what kids imagination when they see the world.
You can see more of his work at his livejournal :)

2. Fruit Juice Packaging by Naoto Fukusawa

Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa has created a series of creative fruit juice packages that have the look and feel of the fruit they contain. He thought that if the surface of the package imitated the colour and texture of the fruit skin, then the object would reproduce the feeling of the real skin. Hmm...i wonder when he'll be made a packaging for Durian Juice?or maybe Rambutan?hihihi...HAIRY!
As far as i could find, i only met 3 design, Kiwi, Banana, and Strawberry...there is one more design called "Tofu" for a carton of soya milk. If you want to know the design, just imagine a white, box-shaped, yeah...just like a tofu...simple.

3. What you should (not) do when on emergency : Fire
Okay, let's keep repeating this to yourself :
"i will not do thing like above pics when there is fire emergency"

Ah, i think that's all for today :) hope you enjoy that!

So, we meet again on "Found it today" :)
and now, it's bookmark edition, i've gathered some of what i called modern-unique-and-creative bookmarks. And remember, it's just based from what i've found so far...maybe you have your own designed bookmark that can be called creative?you can send me the pic :)

anyway, let's see them one by one :D

1. [LITE]READ - LED bookmark
[LITE]READ functions as a bookmark and portable reading light. This is handy device that can be used for reading in a dark environment without disturbing others. I don't know if it can be called a bookmark rather than flashlight...hihi

2. Animal Bookmarks
This bookmarks are made from (real) pig suede and bull leather. The tails of the animals look quite cute when hanging from your book...available with monkey, girrafe, mice, dog, and other animals design

3. Flower Petal Bookmarks
Okay, this one isn't a pure bookmark actually, more like post-it. Each transparent flower petal has an adhesive back, so if you mark several places in your book, it looks like if a flower grow out of your book... a nice way to put some "freshness" to your boring book :p

4. Book and Spectacles Bookmark
These bookmarks are using the book itself and the spectacles as their design. It's actually thin leather straps with little charms on the end. mmm...Maybe you can use this for keychain or even mobile phone strap?

5. Story of a Bookmark
This is quite fun actually, it looks like that a bird or a mermaid were came outside from the story inside. What an imagination... :)

6. The Abracadabra puffy bookmark
The Abracadabra bookmark contains an air filled chamber, half of it is flattened by the weight of the book. Squeezing the other side inflates the concealed side and lifts the page just enough for your finger to slip in. Very useful :)

7. The Favbook Bookmark
The idea is to combine the convenience of fresnel lense with luxury silver bookmark. The lens is made from high quality durable plastic, frame of silver.

8. Bleeding Bookmark
haha...it's just like your book is bleeding...hmmm maybe perfect for horror or thriller book.

so, which one is your favourite, hm?

Like always, i was browsing again today..."been there, click that, and forgot how i ended in this galleries".
I found above image so cheerful and attract my attention between other images, so i'm gonna share it with you :)
Somehow, i just love the colors and the feels... :) *(not an) art curator mode :on*
and i love how the photographer takes the moments...and with all those balloons... *(not a) photography expert mode : on*
Can anybody teach me how to do 'cross processing' technique at Photoshop?i've tried to do some experiments just to get the result like above's photo, seems like it didn't worked :p, so i'll be verry happy if you can show me how.

Anyway, let's see what i've found for you today :)

1. Photoshop CS4 : As Real As It Gets
What a great execution...It's a perfect reflection of Photoshop software...hahaha
And what makes us should be proud is :
Brand: Software-asli.com, software reseller
Advertising Agency : Bates141, Jakarta, Indonesia
Creative director : Hendra lesmono
Art Directors : Andreas Junus, Irawandhani Kamarga
Copywriter : Darrick Subrata
Photographer : Anton Ismael
It was made by Indonesian Agency! nice work, guys!

2. Photoshop CS3 toolbox tie

Still about Photoshop. Okay, it's just funny and creative. Nothing important, it's just a birthday gift from one graphic designer to other designer.
actually, they bought a tie and print it (yes, print it...phew). It'll be more perfect if the end of the tie was triangle-shaped :)

3. Mike Mak's Eyeclock
Mwahahaha...i love the design! so simple, clean, and minimalistic...and it's sort of funny to see the expressions made by the eyes whenever it shows the time :)
it's just like the designer's said : "Eyeclock is a pleasuring clock which gives pleasure while telling you time."

4. Really short film : i can read the movies
Okay let's see the title..."i can read the movies". In simple way, it means you can read the movie, and don't forget, it is really shortf film.
I loved the simple idea and presentation of them. Samurai on the Toilet is funny! just see the expressions...and to thinks they had emoticons back in 1970, weird actually. Mitch Ansara is the guy who did this stuff. he also made some amazing book covers in the 60s style for fictional movie novelizations.

that's all for today...enough with my lovely "bitten apple"...now back to House,M.D :)

See the note above?let's try that first before you continue to read the rest of the post. just wanna know the results on others, tell me okay? :)
I myself, has tried it several times, and always done exactly what the note said. weird. *okay, now i looked like a retarded person behind my desk, swinging my right foot, while drawing a "6" figure in the air*

Anyway, i think i'm gonna share you some interesting things i've found while i was browsing. hope you can get inspired, or at least a little bit grinning :p

1. Breeze Excel : Postal Campaign

A very nice idea for direct-mail by LOWE, Bangkok.
Ad campaign for Breeze Excel where clothing detergent samples were sent in a box wrapped in a white tshirt, Instead of finding a free gift on inside, the gift itself wrapped the product. So when arrived it was perfectly dirty to test the sample on.

The recipient will receive this package, and if they wanted their shirts to looks good as new, all they had to do is use the product.
Very clever indeed.

2. IE6 sucks! (Splash page for visual artist Joe Lifrieri's site)

Okay, for some of you who happened to understand this, or even knew about this, IE a.k.a Internet Explorer is the most annoying web browser for website designer, because it has some un-compatibility with present days CSS code.
Joe Lifrieri made this splash pages for his website that will show every time his visitor trying to access his web with IE browser. I myself haven't tried it with IE, in fact i don't use IE. :p

So, if some of you happened to use IE as your browser, you can check his website - Hugs For Monster. And don't forget to tell me, okay? :)
by the way, why don't you try opening PEBEYE with IE too...and you'll know what i mean.
long live Firefox!! (oh i hope those Firefox's developer seen this and make me their brand ambassador...mwahahaha)

3. Dr. Gregory House from House TV series

Haha, i've just talked with Pink about this TV series...and suddenly i found his cartoonized self-portrait, done by Will Murai. So, Pink, consider this is a "gift" for you...hihi

Everybody, meet Dr. Gregory House, the most clever and self centered diagnostician in the world (only happen in that TV series, actually). Who he is actually? you can see his details here - Gregory House. Anyway, the TV series has reached 5th season, and worth to watch, smart jokes, and full of interesting knowledge about medication :)

Me and Pink always laugh in this conversation :
Dr. House : *breaking through the surgery room and yell* "Don't touch the eyes!!"
surgeon : *confuse* "but...this is an appendectomy..."
Dr. House : "oh?...like i said, don't touch the eyes..."
and then he left...

Silly!
4. Black Vs White Color Jokes

p.s : Hey Pink, i found the illustrated version!
okay peoples, no need to be insulted or feel harrased...this is just a joke :)

Let's see if i can find something interesting again next time :)
