    Vincent Mahe, an illustrator from Paris, recently created this eye opening series of personal illustrations depicting the seven deathly sins in a modern contemporary way. His use of limited colors and negative space are simple but very effective. All in all this set of illustrations would look nicely side by side inside a frame.

  4. Hi! I guess it’s about time for some kind of life update. A pulse, maybe? I’m alive, I’m here, I’m working like crazy, because this is what third year should be like, right? yes. I apologize for my absence! This year is going by faster than I ever expected. So far, I’ve been getting 3-4 hours of sleep, slaving away from 8pm to 12am right before class, going to the occasional weird arty farty party on Thursdays, among other things. Life is good, I have to say. I don’t want to ever admit things like that but it’s good to acknowledge it before– you know–it’s gone. heh. Another important thing that happened in my life: I was offered a design internship at GOOD Magazine this summer in LA! Exciting things are happening and I can’t contain myself. Meanwhile, I just want to survive my last few weeks of BFA 3. Maybe the next time you see me I’ll have more than just designer bags under my eyes. X____X Until then, I’ll see ya, kool kats.

    Christian Louboutin Neon letters

    I wrote about this Vegas inspired, neon installation for Christian Louboutin while it was on show at the Design Museum in Butlers Wharf, London.
    These version feels quite at home in their flagship store in Mount Street. and a smaller version in Paris. The mix of colours and shapes is enough to make you want to smash ‘n’ grab them.

    Christian Louboutin Neon Graveyard

    We collaborated with the team at Christian Louboutin to create an amazing Vegas-inspired typographical installation. Each letter has it’s own story to tell and can be traced back to original Vegas signage. The stainless steel shells house a mix of Pygmy and Golfball bulbs, 4 different colours of neon, backlit perspex and crystal Cabochon. To make sure the window all came together beautifully each letter was powder coated in a rich, bright and glossy colour to match a shoe or a bag in Christian Louboutin’s current collection.

    The window was such a success in Mount St that we recreated a smaller version for the flagship Paris store.

  10. I’ve been on this super femme power trip for the past year and so my first ever screenprinted poster should be no surprise. Kinda proud of my first collab :) I think my biceps got a much needed workout in the process.

    Living Wall

    These vegetated surfaces don’t just look pretty. They have other benefits as well, including cooling city blocks, reducing loud noises, and improving a building’s energy efficiency.What’s more, a recent modeling study shows that green walls can potentially reduce large amounts of air pollution in what’s called a “street canyon,” or the corridor between tall buildings.

    For the study, Thomas Pugh, a biogeochemist at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, and his colleagues created a computer model of a green wall with generic vegetation in a Western European city. Then they recorded chemical reactions based on a variety of factors, such as wind speed and building placement.

    The simulation revealed a clear pattern: A green wall in a street canyon trapped or absorbed large amounts of nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter—both pollutants harmful to people, said Pugh. Compared with reducing emissions from cars, little attention has been focused on how to trap or take up more of the pollutants, added Pugh, whose study was published last year in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

    That’s why the green-wall study is “putting forward an alternative solution that might allow [governments] to improve air quality in these problem hot spots,” he said.Compared with reducing emissions from cars, little attention has been focused on how to trap or take up more of the pollutants, added Pugh, whose study was published last year in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
