The Art Of The Gun

Walt Creel of Birmingham, Alabama uses a deadly weapon, ironically, to create images of sweet Southern wildlife. Brandishing a rifle, he fires .22 caliber bullets through 4' x 6' white painted aluminum panels to form images of a deer, an owl, a rabbit, a possum, a squirrel and bird in his project, De-Weaponizing The Gun

It was the day after the hottest day in the known history of Los Angeles, and the weather was finally behaving. The wetlands’ wind flicking up the model’s wavy wheat hair, the perfect temperature for combining jackets with hot shorts. Nicole Hill is an incredibly talented photographer and we were very excited to work together. The spoils…

When we saw this baby on Etsy, we knew we had to post it and grab it up, so you’d better beware that we might get to it first!

Check out this simply amazing and eco-friendly handmade Wooden Docking Station for not only your new iPad but also your iPhone or iPod, though it appears that the shuffle can sadly not be charged with this station.

This luxurious docking station, despite its rustic charm, just uses a standard USB plug so you can sync with the computer with ease. Cost, $188 from Etsy seller, WoodTec

PUMA Suede Made in Japan

Some really spectacular photos I found. I think these really capture the essence of the fine art of shoe crafting and how many people work so hard to make some of the simplest of luxury's that we take for granted everyday.

The shoot captures the very first time that Puma’s iconic “Suede” model has been made in Japan. Reportedly lighter on the foot and made with higher quality materials, the made in Japan Suede will be available in a handful of block colorways. Detailed with an individual serial number on the tongue, the new versions provide a welcomed update to an already established classic.

Kardshians Kill Their Kard Har Har

The Kardashian sisters have abandoned their barely month-old prepaid debit card, the “Kardashian Kard,” after the Connecticut attorney general announced he was investigating the Kard for violating consumer protection laws with “predatory” fees, according to Gossip Cop:

The notice of termination letter says that the Kardashians “have worked extremely long and hard to create a positive public persona,” and are recognized as “honest, ethical, and fun-loving individuals who are kind and caring to others.”
Because the card “might violate” certain laws, rules and regulations, notes the letter, Dash Dolls “terminates the agreement in its entirety, effective immediately.”

The Star House by AGi Architects

Photographer Nelson Garrido has sent us photos of the Star House in Bnaider, Kuwait, that has been designed by AGi Architects.

You can also watch a video about the house – here.

"Nestled into the landscape, this beach house blends with the natural topography of the coastline of Kuwait. It slowly unfolds itself to the visitor, as it is approached from the desert.

Upon entry, one gets glimpses of the sea whilst going down to the public space of the chalet. On this lower level, the house extends into the landscape and the sea, accentuated by an infinity pool in the garden. The private side of the house, located at the entry level, is concealed from the visitors by a bamboo wall. Bedrooms and private living spaces remain isolated from daily activities. A three-way stair, placed at the center of building, organizes the different flows of family, friends and guests.

The organizational and formal structure of the beach house is dictated by the ability to maximize views to the sea.

The initial design was master planned for three detached dwellings, each with extensive sea views while simultaneously achieving privacy from one another. The client, instead, opted for a single house, two bungalows and a boathouse, with possible plans for expansion in the future."
