*color pencils

What can you do with 500 colored pencils...make art with your art supplies? Have a look at Social Designer's 500 pencils. Put in this display case, creates a visual wall display for a creative space.
...how about a color roll-up

...or a color wave?

...only problem, you can't get them quickly or cheaply. Social Designer offers the pencils only by a monthly subscription, 25 pencils per month for 20 months! But if you have the time and the money, it is a sweet collection!

*dirt + art

While most people write "Wash Me" in the dirt on the back of a car, artist Scott Wade has taken that to a new level.

Check out more of his work DirtyCarArt.com

*bike typography

I ran across this bike font, it's a typeface make from bits of a bicycle.

*new music in august

Lots of new music has been released this month...a few to highlight: MuteMath released their latest album "Armistice" last week. It debuted at #4 on the chart list...nice job guys!
..and they will be featured tonight on the Late Show with David Letterman!

..and if you live in the Des Moines area, they will be performing at People's on Court October 1st.

Another new release, just this week, NeedToBreathe released their album, The Outsiders.

...check 'um out!

*camper bike

mix one part camper + one part bike = solo holiday get-a-way on pedal power
I ran across this sweet camper bike that artist Kevin Cyr built. Using a modified bike frame, he mounted a mini-camper onto his bike.
This project of his is a stand alone sculpture...

...as well as the subject of a series of his painting.

Now that is what I call an R.V.!

*wild things

One of my favorite books growing up is being turned into a movie...Where The Wild Things Are. Take a peek at the trailer.

It will be in theaters October 16th...I can't wait! If you haven't read the book, let me know and you can borrow it, it is on my book shelf.
