Another funny one from the email box.

06-28-2007: Colorful Mail


When was the last time you actually posted a mail. Maybe you will if your mail boxes looked like this. Maybe you won't. But that hasn't stopped the Singapore Post guys from stamping their post boxes with some artistic individuality. I probably won't post a mail, but I love them for sure.

06-27-2007: A Farewell To Remember

Stumbled on Le Corbusier's Ronchamp once again thanks to Flickr: Stublog.

06-19-2007: One World. One Game. One Love


This is Bob Marley's interpretation of what Pele calls 'the beautiful game'. From the spectacular book 'One Love: Soccer For Life'. Photographer Levon Biss travels the world to give us many more visuals and definitions of the one game that unifies the world (or divides it depending on which side of the fence you are on!!).

The new digital mantra to live by. Thanks to Russell Davies for coining this one.

06-17-2007: Fontified Funky Kevin


There are millions of Kevins out there. But some stand out more than others thanks to the visual power of fonts. The funk of the StrawberryFrog Kevin is fontified here.

06-16-2007: The Strength of Numbers


Frank Miller's '300' reminds us of the power of conviction and unity of purpose. As King Leonidas proves here with his small army of 300 against the might of Xerxes of Persia.

06-10-2007: Retro Bomber Cool


The Arizona desert landscape and retro airplanes. Sometimes cool comes from hot places. (via Flickr: Eyetwist)

06-09-2007: Twin Fin


Classic American cars with fin and surf boards to go along. A wine label that fuses these two to capture the ultimate California cool can't go wrong. But then again I am not a wine connoisseur.

06-08-2007: Design Goes to War


Dominic Wilcox's 'Bowl of Brothers' adds a visual treat to coffee table aesthetics and makes it to Phaidon's '& Fork', which features him as one of the 100 design stars of tomorrow. (via BusinessWeek)

Damien Hurst creates the most repulsive icon of 21st century excess. From this New York Times article.

06-02-2007: The Pang of Goodbyes
