19. Shrink-Wrapped Interactive Art
Some artists paint pictures or sculpt sculptures, but not Lawrence Malstaf. He prefers to shrink-wrap living humans for an exhibition he has aptly titled ‘Shrink!’
‘Shrink!’ is made up entirely of volunteers who are shrink-wrapped inside a bag. Lawrence Malstaf’s work is meant to make both volunteers and onlookers consider their own survival and how they respond under threat.
18. Nerdy Princess Muffs
These nerdy Star Wars-inspired Le Fille ‘Leia’ earmuffs are not only super cute, but fabulous in fashion as well. No longer is it ‘uncool’ to show off your geeky side, so embrace your inner nerd and fall in love with this ‘Star Wars’-approved hipster headgear.
17. Splish-Splashing Celeb Shoots
The cover shoot for their December 2010 issue must have been amazing, because these Jake Gyllenhaal Esquire UK outtakes do not look like they should have been left on the cutting room floor. Sexy, cute and personable, Gyllenhaal’s personality simply shines through.
16. Stylish Sci-Fi Experiments
The Julius Bramanto ‘XL Lab’ photo series shows exactly how experimental fashion can be. Interestingly enough, it also illustrates that when it comes to personal style, we’re often only clones of a few style icons.
Shot for their 2010-2011 campaign, the Julius Bramanto ‘XL Lab’ photo series was pulled together by a great team. The shoot features work from stylist Thornandes James, makeup artist Carry and photo assistants Ken Arini, Shuri and Retno Prasasti.
15. Handyman Mosaics
Armenian artist Saimir Strati has to be all screwed out after spending two weeks creating the world’s largest screw mosaic. All bad jokes aside, Saimir Strati did spend two weeks and over 300,000 screws creating his unique work, which he calls ‘Currency of the Soul.’
‘Currency of the Soul’ features the Greek poet Homer on the face of the dollar bill as opposed to Washington’s. You don’t have to dig too deep into the piece’s meaning to know that Saimir Strati’s work truly is one of a kind.
14. Exclusive Accordion Timepieces
The Opera Tourbillon timepiece featured in the gallery is one out of 12 made. The super-exclusive, ultra-luxurious Opera Tourbillon watch is not for the faint of heart or wallet, with 18K rose or gray gold and 319 parts for a whopping $1.2 million.
It makes sense to have produced such a limited stock of the Opera Tourbillon watch, as a very limited amount of people will be able to afford it. Regardless, one can still dream. Check out the featured gallery to indulge your horological fantasies with the Opera Tourbillon watch.
13. Dollipop Campaigns
This Mini Chupa Chups campaign is definitely going to attract some attention. The concept behind these print ads is simple, yet totally effective. Mini Chupa Chups are delicious, fun and tiny.

10. Fractured Fashion Photography
Whenever I come across a new photo shoot by TOKYO22, I don’t know whether I should focus on the subject or the intriguing post-production; take the Gilles et Dada ‘Truth’ series as an example.
The Gilles et Dada ‘Truth’ campaign is amazingly executed and it does a great job piquing our interest in the outfits.

Pizza can always be delightfully fun, but the Tiny Urban Kitchen Pizza Flags by superchef Jen are even more of a blast. Inspired by her family’s round-the-world travels, Jen made flags of countries they’ve visited in the form of pizzas.
From Canada to Japan, these countries all have one thing in common: they look delicious. If you yourself are a world traveler, what would you say to making Tiny Urban Kitchen Pizza Flags like Jen? Check out the gallery for some more decadent pics.
8. Epic Apocalyptic Photography
As a tribute to the late Alexander McQueen, Julius Bramanto photographed the ‘Odd and Ends’ editorial for Amica Magazine. This epic photo shoot was shot in a garbage dump area that gave an apocalyptic vibe to the entire project.
It is the fashion featured in the ‘Odd and Ends’ editorial that I can’t tear my eyes from, however.
7. Ice Vixen Couture
One look at the Tex Saverio ‘La Glacon’ Spring 2011 collection and you will absolutely fall in love. If you love high fashion and Alexander McQueen, get ready for this designer, who is being touted as the Indonesian Alexander McQueen.

5. Pensive Clown Art
This Stefan Milev Zink Magazine pictorial re-imagines Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ with an eerie twist.
With pensive, forlorn clowns, Milev’s images deliver a very depressing and creepy feel. The irony created by clowns void of smiles also adds a very dramatic edge to the editorial.
4. Roadkill Calendars
If cute puppies, inspirational scenes or provocative pin-ups are a bit mundane for your taste, you might like Kevin Beresford’s 2011 Son of Roadkill Calendar. The wacky calendar features images of dead animals on the road or roadside.
Beresford thought the dead dogs, squashed squirrels, flattened fowl and hammered hedgehogs that he saw in his travels as a courier might have a higher purpose as images in a unique calendar. The Son of Roadkill Calendar is the latest of Beresford’s morbid datekeepers. It’s not for everyone though: Some shops refuse to stock the item.

1. Modern Greek Eco Resorts
Costa Navarino is a brand new resort that offers an eco-friendly getaway location to explore. Recently opened in Messina, Greece, the resort grounds look as though they have been pulled from a mystical Mediterranean dream.
Boasting 321 rooms on a 1 km. beachfront, the resort also offers infinity pools, an 18-hole championship golf course and a landscape of diverse surroundings with spectacular sea and river views. The resort’s commitment to environmental protection steered builders to keep the building footprint of Costa Navarino at less than 10% of the total land area.
