I saved this link a while ago but never posted it, because I wasn’t sure what to say about this art project of live tattooed pigs. I am finally posting it though because I like all the questions it raises for me — art vs tattoos, the validity of subjecting animals to pain vs subjecting ourselves to pain, the fact that tattoos seem ridiculous on pigs but not on humans, the proliferation of tattooed characters/icons people use to individualize themselves while inadvertently promoting mass ideas and/or providing free advertising for major corporations, animal cruelty, etc, etc. Anyway, thought I should post it because I do think it is interesting.

Check out this strange packaging for FlavH2O (random fruit soda that I found ad Duane Reade the other day). Bottle on the bottom can on top. I don’t know what the point is but I did buy it for the novelty of it…
I just like this image, but also I think that man’s weave might be too tight, bleeding scalp! [via Eric’s Today : 3.05]
Le Whif is a new approch to eating by breathing. You inhale in your mouth to taste it without chewing and you can experience the flavor without a single calorie. This kind of sounds like it was invented by super models but who cares, this is awesome I want to try it!
Brooklyn based design duo David Heasty & Stefanie Weigler of Triboro Design have produced a new New York City subway map printed in a single color — florescent red. The map has been printed in a limited edition (offset litho) run of only 300 pieces. At 45 x 58 inches the poster is the same size as the large MTA Subway maps. Pretty cool, although I am still partial to Eddie Jabbour’s Kick Map. BUT if you are interested in purchasing one of these florescent posters email Dave and Stefi at hi@triborodesign.com.
This commercial is totally ridiculous but amazing! MEOW! Thanks Karin and Bert for the link!
