Magnificent Men And Their Flying Ferrari

Source : Yanko Design

While designer Iman Maghsoudi gave us a Ferrari that was akin to operating a PC touching speeds of 200 km/h; designer Vincent Montreuil has a different vision for the speedster. Adding a third dimension to the pulsating sport, he envisions race tracks in the air, demarcated with levitating lines (or ropes; u get the drift); and a Flying Ferrari X-Racer in the forefront. Call him crazy or over-ambitious, but it’s not hard to imagine his concept taking shape…say 50 years from now!

Miniatur Art - Photography

Working in a similar vain to Ben Thomas et al, Brooklyn born artist Lori Nix is also on a mission to make miniature landscapes with distressing details & then photographs the scene. Her photography and diorama consists of two collections: “Accidentally Kansas” and “Lost”. Pictured is the “ChickenTruck” from the series ‘Accidentally Kansas’, which explores Nix’s memories of growing up in the state combined with her love of 1970’s disaster movies. 

Her photographs are very dramatic, eerie and melancholic snapshots of enigmatic occurrences. It is only after lengthy viewing that we realize that there is more to them than just their subject matter, for Nix’s images seem almost too perfectly composed to appear real and contain an uncertain nature, much like the world in which we live in. Thus, her work reinforces the inherent paradox of the photographic image-truth and illusion battle.

Nix has shown her work at White Columns, New York, and most recently had a solo exhibition at UCR California Museum of Photography, Riverside, CA.

Bomberman Explodes Plants

This title maybe misleading but the intention is pretty peaceful! Legend has it that after the World War II got over, American pilot Gale Halvorson airdropped candies in the name of hope, for the Berlin children. War equals devastation, so dropping candies instead of bombs was probably personal retribution. Inspired by this incident, designer Hwang Jin wook and pals have come up with a plan to combat deforestation and desertification of land in a similar fashion. Their mission is called “Seedbomb.”

Mission Seedbomb involves a bomber aircraft and charges full of the Seed Capsules. Essentially the project involves artificial dispersal of seeds over arid areas where natural vegetation has lapsed due to man-made follies like deforestation leading to desertification. Each capsule contains artificial soil and seeds, and are air-dropped over the selected regions.

Housed in biodegradable plastic, the artificial soil provides nourishment and moisture to the seed; till it grows out to be a strong enough plant to sustain itself. As the sapling matures, the plastic capsule melts away, leaving behind a brand new generation.

Sounds like Mission (im)Possible to me, however the logistics of desert environment and the kind of seeds to be dispersed will require a lot research and expertise from the botanists. Because once the capsule melts away and the artificial soil’s nourishment and moisture used up, it’ll take a lot of effort on the plant’s part to survive the harsh environment.

Pop Surrealis Artist

Michelle Araujo (Mia) was born and raised in Los Angeles, and grew up watching cartoons and animated films, drawing, reading, and writing. She has long been fascinated by story and character, and the qualities that make people unique.

Mia believes that all individuals contain an entire universe within them. Her recent work strives to represent the unseen forces at work within the subject - spirits, inner demons, conflicting emotions, and the imaginations. The result is a surreal amalgam of imagery that weaves multiple layers of detail, endeavoring to represent the multi-faceted personalities of her characters, their complex identities, and their personal mythologies.

Mia draws inspiration from fairy tales, performance art, vintage photograpghy, music, literature, animation, silent cinema, and world cultures.

In May 2007, Mia graduated as valedictorian from Otis College of Art and Design, with a BFA in Illustration and a minor in Creative Writing. She currently shows her work in prominent pop-surrealist galleries across the US, and would love to write and illustrate her own children's books someday.
