Tumblr (3.0; @designklog)http://read.designklog.com/<p>I saved this link a while ago but never posted it, because I wasn’t sure what to say about this <a target="_blank" href="http://www.wimdelvoye.be/artfarm.php#">art project of live tattooed pigs</a>. 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. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.wimdelvoye.be">[via wim delvoye]</a></p>http://read.designklog.com/post/438289199http://read.designklog.com/post/438289199Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:34:00 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kvuipohw3v1qzrtf9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Art Farm, Yang Zhen (Beijing) 2005 Live tattooed pigs</p>http://read.designklog.com/post/438277591http://read.designklog.com/post/438277591Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:29:00 -0500<p>Check out this strange packaging for FlavH2O (random fruit soda that I found ad Duane Reade the other day).

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 <a target="_blank" href="http://www.kickmap.com/pages/7_wholemap_comparison.html">Eddie Jabbour’s Kick Map</a>.
