Adicolor Red
The 5th film in the Adicolor series is a brief history of the color red by Roman Coppola & Andy Bruntel. It's so much fun to watch---with time travel and a rock n' roll lobster in the mix, how could it not be. It also illustrates the creation of the best logo design in the history in the world, the Japanese Flag. There are just two films remaining in the series by directors Neill Blomkamp & Saiman Chow.

Monster Metro Boxes
This is the the Monster Box Project by Chicago graffiti artist TEWZ ONE and IKIL. It took them over a month to create and release these modified plastic publication boxes which were placed at key locations throughout Chicago last Thursday night. Some were instantly monster-napped but the word is many still remain.

Coca-Cola Blak
My first impression of this product, a cola-coffee hybrid, is "ew". If I want a caffeine fix I usually crave a coffee or a cola, not both at once & not in the same glass. Coca-Cola Blak is just that, but described more eloquently as "Coke effervescence with coffee essence" on the product website. Speaking of the latter, is it just me or is the music and the VO on the site a little...um...cheesy?

Bath Time with Yael Staav
Director Yael Staav has a wonderful way of making the simplest of things beautiful -- almost melodic. A prime example is one of her latest spots, Tubs, for Clorox out of DDB San Francisco. Who knew bathtub cleaner could be so dreamy.

This is too weird. Apparently making fake eggs is a big business in China. You can even take a course on how to make them, so this article says. It leaves me wondering if it's true. Have a peak and decide for yourself.

Made of Beads
It's hard to tell from this picture but this entire death row cell is made of beads. It's the Liza Lou exhibition at the White Cube gallery in London. Each bead is applied with tweezers, and different colours and textures of beads created the breathtaking details  down to the water marks and stains. Amazing.
