Ever since 2004 London-based artist Riitta Ikonen has been entertaining herself by sending bizarre postal packages to her friend Margaret Huber. It all started with a holiday project titled Location Vocation Vacation which called for one post card a week to be sent as a document of experiences to Huber, who was then Ikonen’s Illustration […]

Classic Russian motorcycle manufacturers Ural are about to introduce their entry level motorcycle to America in July, the Ural sT. What makes the motorcycle oh-so-lustworthy is its retro silhouette, which admittedly is red hot right now but still undeniably desirable. Most famous for their sidecar bikes (much of whose technology they stole from BMW), Ural […]

Design partners Borders Perrin Norrander created this campaign for the US election in 2008, and it has some really clever graphical plays on it. That whole oil thing really seems to resonate right about now, especially if you happen to live in the Gulf Coast. Or if you’re a pelican. On that note, it really […]

When I first saw Joshua Ben Longo’s creations I knew I’d stumbled across a little bit of pixie dust. I can’t totally explain it, but his monstrous creations just resonate with me from a distant place reserved for childhood wonders — stuff like comic books, monsters both repulsive and whimsical, sci-fi flicks and, yes, stuffed […]

On June 12 of last year, history was made at the TTXGP — the world’s first clean emission eGrandPrix race which took place on Ireland’s legendary Isle of Man race course. Directed by Mark Neale (who also directed Faster), Charge follows several of the teams involved — including Brammo, MotoCzysz and of course Mission One […]
