OMG! This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages….Sesame Street is on Twitter. Check out some of the latest posts…

“Cookie Monster: Today someone gave me something called “biscotti”. Me ate it… taste like cookie to me!”

Cookie Monster: Just finished book “Gulliver’s Travels”. It needed salt.

Count von Count: Five, five, five hundred tweets! A ha ha ha ha!

Cookie Monster: Today’s new food: couscous. Just because-cause.

Abby: Rosita and I like to play princess, but that doesn’t mean we’re waiting for a prince to rescue us! It just means we like to dress up! (Are these puppets! instilling the new generations with feminist notions?!?hmmm interesting!)

Needless to say I am now following on twitter!

Blanca Gomez takes us back in time to a world of retro goodness. Take a look at her work and read an interview in which she takes us through her process. Love it!

Awesome sculpture by Douglas Coupland giving the visual appearance of pixels.

I’m really liking the work of Mexican/Canadian Electronic artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. His work is a fusion of human interaction, architecture, shadows, surveillance cameras, robotics, technology and light that is mostly displayed in public spaces. He was recently in Melbourne showcasing ‘Solar Equation’ a piece that gathered the 11 year life cycle of the earth and captured it minutes and which could be controlled with the software on an iphone or ipad. Be sure to take a squizz at his videos and photos…

What’s the cure for creative blocks? A daily routine or an escape from it?

Interesting article…

Great video from TED of Marian Bantjes and her beautiful typographic work, which sometimes is made out of sugar and macaroni!

Superuse is a online community of creators who find inventive ways to recycle the refuse of our over consumeristic society.

These guys are awesome….

Oliver Jeffers has popped up in my blog posts more than once before. I’d have to say that he is my favourite, or at least in my top 3 list. The awesome illustrator and creator of children’s books is now featured in this video wearing a quirky mo (i only hope it was filmed in movember!), check it out…
