If you had one of these by French designer Juri Zaech you'd never mistake your bike for anyone else's. Nicely called Write a Bike, this is still only concept but Juri's looking for a way to prototype them soon. Love the retro vibe.

Samuel Wilkinson came up with Vessel series, three mouth-blown forms that celebrate the bulb's ability to create distinct illusions. Each piece is unique in its shape but all reference a traditional "ship in a bottle" form.

Dave Eggers and his unveiled talent
American writer, editor, and publisher Dave Eggers recently unveiled yet another creative talent: the knack for drawing. His "It Is Right to Draw Their Fur: Animal Renderings" was lately released and it's available from McSweeney's online store or from Amazon.
Eggers explains of his artistic process: “This past year I went back to drawing animals. The process for these pictures is pretty simple: I find an old photo of an animal that somehow has some intrigue, and I use a China marker to freehand a version of that animal onto very smooth paper. Then I think of what that animal might be thinking — if that animal had an antagonistic relationship with humans and was vying with those humans for the favor of a Catholic God.”
The pictures he's drawn of animals are simplistic, but the detail lies in the fur.
