Lock up your milk bottles!
Whether he’s chillin on the façade of a building or riding a bike, Crate Man sure brings a different approach to graffiti. And even though he’s been spotted at several locations around Australia, no one seems to know who’s responsible for the works.

Roland Tiangco has a lot on his hands
Designer Roland Tiangco created this interactive poster in which the recipient completes by revealing spot-varnished type with hands made dirty by handling the poster. I love that it’s more than just a poster and rather, a call to action.

Impressive Video For We Have Band
Need something more inspiring than a sudoku puzzle to pass the time?

Check out this music video for electro-rock trio ‘We Have Band’. What’s interesting is that the clip was actually created by an ad agency, Wieden + Kennedy London. And if that weren’t enough, all 4,816 frames that made the final cut have been uploaded to Flickr, thereby allowing people to re-edit the sequence as they see fit. Love it.
