Plaseebo Bank America Toy

I am loving Plaseebo's newest dark toy entitled "Bank America". The small elements found all over the pig hint at the corporate greed that has consumed much of the West for many years.
According to Plastic & Plush, "Bob Conge wanted to express the true image of the bank beneath the placid mask of business as usual. The bank takes your money and then shits on your dreams (the accessory is a green dump on a glass heart)."

The 12" long by 6" tall by 4.5" wide cast urethane figure has glass inset eyes, rubber baby bottle nipples and red glass heart with a "dump" accessory.

The Solutions Are Waiting

The Solutions Are Waiting is a neat new online clip from animator and WorldChanging ally Michael Schmitz from Berlin, reviewing the process of climate change and what the future could hold. The animation offers a very attractive and creative educational viewpoint on the variety of solutions available to transform the way our national and social systems operate.

At the end of the animation there is an interactive toolbox that allows you to play around and explore the various options for combating climate change… very cool, very well designed.

ESPVisuals gives this animation a big thumbs-up for overall creativity.

Check out http://www.noe21.org/solutions/ for the clip, or alternatively go to the WorldChanging website (http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/009060.html) to view the clip and more on the subject (the clip isquite large and takes some time to load up, give it a chance).

Graffiti Tourist: Georgia

Not the state, but the war torn country in the Balkans. Earlier this year there was still fighting between the Georgians and the Russians.
I managed to find some nice stencil work in the capital T'bilisi.
