A painter.
I didn’t want to bother her … she was busy painting.

Jesus.
Someone painted an upside-down Jesus on the wall of the Modern gallery … I like his shiny heart.

Summer. Sun. Lazy days. Finally. Need I say more?

The Cancel - Summer Tape
album: Reply From Space, 2011

And now he’s been appropriated by a shopping bag by Ha Ha! brand, designed by illustrator Milanka Fabjančič. The first drafts of these lyrical patterns were created to commemorate the cultural holiday and the Prešeren prize award ceremony. They were part of the graphic design for the main cultural event. Milanka’s deer, rabbits, mushrooms, frogs and other romantic psychedelics served as the framework for her drawings of the Prešeren laureates and all the performers.

Now she literally stuffed her menagerie into a little sac with Prešern’s face on it and lined it with neon green or the color of fuchsia. Milanka’s instructions are to spread the pattern and wear it thinking of its romantic exterior and wild interior. 

"Belgrade Walks" are a kind of time machine, a voyage through time and space, following the visible and invisible traces of people, their actions and events, and guide you from point to point down timeless paths that begin in the past and end in the present.

Regardless of what leads you onto this path: love, curiosity, a desire to discover something new, or simply fun; rest assured, it won’t leave you unchanged. 

The least that can happen to you is you change your view of Belgrade. All you have to do is choose the direction and time of departure.

"Belgrade walks" have recently become a part of the Tourist organization of Belgrade’s offer. Their Facebook page is bound to show you that there are a lot of things that Belgrade has to show. There are probably a number of people from Belgrade who’ll learn something new about their city, even though they’ve lived in it their whole lives.

You can find more info and stories about “Belgrade Walks” on: http://beogradskesetnje.rs/.

Get ready to walk.

You’ll enjoy it!

More Than Human is Tim Flach’s photographic series. His latest book is adorned with animal portraits, where we discover stunning images and aspects of various animal species. His animal photos look for and emphasize an aspect of animal behavior, seen in humans on a daily basis.

His series is an interesting look not only beautiful animals but also our desire to see humanity in the world around us.

These LED’s shaped like tiny glowing mushrooms were created by Japanese designer Yukio Takano. He calls them “The Great Mushrooming.”

They’re powered by batteries in their wooden base and come in different sizes and colors. Another proof of Japans sophisticated design and sense of romance.
Curious and charming!

Relatives from the countryside.
They came for a visit and dressed in their Sunday best for it.

Holy and Filio.
Filio happily raised his arms and smiles… I like his striped T-shirt.

Spring/summer 2013
An insatiable thirst for ornaments, interwoven with a baroque spirit of some distant imaginary world, gives endless inspiration for Micica’s new necklaces, brooches, rings and bracelets. Through a familiar language of jewelry design, Micica found motifs for their new collection in nature, its seasons, scents and colors and forest creatures. One can find forms of edelweiss, fern, horns and birdie in the collection which is dominated by autumn colors, dark red and brown tones. With its fuller colors and its form of intertwined tendrils, Micica provides us with a key to the hearts of self-confident and strong, gentle and dreamy women. Whether on a hat, a dress, a blouse or a scarf of a variety of materials, colors and patterns, Micica manages to subtly draw you into a playful world of characters and objects, discovering wild stories of a centuries-old dream.

I’ve been racking my brain with designing “dedicated” icons for some time now. They even started to come to me in my dreams.
Here’s a few of them. I especially love the first and third row …

Are you conscientious and write every note on a post it slip? Is your wall full of them so you have trouble remembering which come first? Kim Sung Min, who received the RedDot award for his concept, thought of it all - and more.

It’s time for your notes to shine!

The purpose of the project "Plexus Series" is to explore the overlap between fashion and architecture with colorful threads and a device that is currently exhibited in Dallas.

Gabriel Dawe was born in Ciudad de Mexico, where he grew up surrounded by the intense color palate of Mexican culture. Wanting to explore different environments, Gabriel moved to Montreal in 2000. In search of creative freedom, he began experimenting and creating artwork, which led him to the study of textiles and embroidery, which, in Mexico, are traditionally associated with women. They were virtually prohibited to adolescent boys, making his work a subversion of concepts of masculinity and machismo, which are so deeply rooted in Mexican culture.

Even in photos the installation is amazing, and I'm sure it's even more magical if admired live.
