I love this flickr toy that lets you put your own pictures in museum settings. Museumr lets you import directly from flickr or upload your own photos. Come on, you know you want to take that ridiculous drunken photo of yourself and see how it looks in a museum.
For more serious works of art, flickr is teaming up with imagekind so you can take your flickr photos and create high quality art prints. You can choose from different media like canvas prints or a framed prints with your choice of mat. Product looks super nice, but not cheap. I suppose similar to what you would pay if got it printed and took it to Pearl Paint. Would make a nice Mother’s Day gift…uh-um!

unless you’ve been under a rock since the turn of the millenium, you’ve noticed that nyc’s landscape is in the midst of an architectural makeover. not only are lux condo’s springing up in the polished and skyscraper saturated areas of midtown, but they’ve also invaded the hipster enclaves of the lower east side, williamsburg, and long island city.
while waiting for a table at brunch on clinton st, i took this picture highlighting the strange juxtaposition of new and old lower east side buildings. the 16-story “blue” looks less like a high-end dwelling than the offspring of a smurf and rubix cube from of tron. at this rapid pace of development, what’s a hipster to do… move to philly? wait, that’s a touchy subject.

This one is for those design buffs out there. Or not. The guy has some seriously deft hand skills, perfect music accompaniment too. (via Type For You)
80 of 500 handdrawn typographic posters by Job Wouters are shown in a 3 minute filmclip by Roel Wouters. The posters promote the students final works at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.

Apple Photoshop Contest. I’m sure if Apple were to see this, they’d totally jack some of these ideas. Probably already have.
