Design studio GOGO believe you should work for your consumer goods, rather than expect something perfectly-formed dropping off the production-line. Their latest item, called “Log Radio”, is pretty much exactly as the name might suggest: a length of wood with radio hardware installed and the buyer left to saw off their new gadget.
These papercraft sculptures have been around for some time now, but there’s nothing like a little hand-cranked hypnosis for kicking off a Tuesday morning. The work of Paper engineer Haruki Nakamura, it was actually submitted to an art contest back in 2005.

I think a lot of people have an artistic urge within them. You know, to create something where there once was nothing. But a lot of the time, the trouble with painting is the mess. Plus, it can be expensive to acquire all the supplies.
This Staring Cats Light Sculpture was designed by Steve Bishop and it really is unique. And though it reminds me of those statues with the glowing eyes in The Neverending Story, this cat sculpture works much the same way without the threat of incineration.
Toby Fraley has created some very interesting sculptures made from found objects or “Junque” to form robots that light up. Each seems to have a personality all its own and though you can distinguish what individual components the bots are made of, you can clearly see the overall piece as something “new.”
Dell have taken the wraps off of another round of Special Art Edition notebooks, designed by Mike Ming. Three new pattern options for the Studio 15 and Studio 17 notebooks are on offer, titled Red Swirl, Seaweed and Sunburst, with the artwork “tattooed” onto the cover.
As gamers, we are always starved for information on upcoming titles. We are constantly scouring the internets in search for some one-liner mentioned by a studio exec, or a screenshot hidden on a company website. When we do find such a tasty morsel, it makes for a great day. That being said, Half-Life fans may want to go take a leak before peering at the picture below.
If you have a thing for the classic Sci-Fi references, these handmade raygunz would be great to have sitting on your desk. Granted they probably won’t hurt anyone, that is unless you throw it at their head, but they’re still cool.
Many little girls had Barbie dolls and other random baby dolls they would tote around, including myself. Yet I have to say, if I had one of these as a kid, I would have tossed out every single Barbie doll to get my hands on just one.
I love a bit of motorized home automation, and I know a lot of SlashGear readers feel the same way, so if your tastes lean to the traditional (and by traditional I’m talking reproduction tapestries) then Draper’s Fine Art for Flatscreens might suit. Part of the company’s ‘Conceal Reveal’ range of remote-control screen covers, Draper has got together with Fine Art Tapestries – who are apparently “the largest tapestry weaver in the world”, and who am I to argue – to offer forty different classic and not-so-classic reproductions to hide your flatscreen TV with.
