The Chrono-Shredder

The Chrono-Shredder: a hybrid of calendar and paper shredder by Susanna Hertrich - metaphorically reminding us that we are living in the "now" and not the "then". Poetically frightening and creatively imposing. Cool!

Francois Robert's Bone Art

This collection of Bone Art by Francois Robert, entitled "Stop the Violence" metaphorically symbolizes the common themes of war and religion via the use of bones that create the unmistakable shapes of familiar weapons and religious symbols. White on black, it's that simple and yet that telling.

Marco Zamora's Urban Landscapes

Marco Zamora, Californian artist who takes street life and transfers it into his artwork. He sees urban environments and lifestyles and creates the imagery to go along with it. He's this good because he was in the CIA (California Institute of Art - did I get you there? even for a second?), and ever since his graduation in 2004 he's been graphic designing by day and painting by night. His backgrounds seem proportionately disproportionate - if that makes any kind of metaphorical sense. There's a sense of a more profound message mixed into the reality of each painting, especially with the contrasting yet complementary combination of textures, colors and applications. Creative!

Ponder this.

Found this on Gizmodo. Click on it and make it bigger. Yes, I'm a geek. Total geek. Über-geek. With an umlaut - a giant one apparently because apple+c in combination with the search for a regular capitalized umlauted (?) "u" doesn't work properly in Google. 

But I thought this was an interesting visual interpretation of the magnitude of the interwebz so I wanted to share it with you. Aw, how nice am I? Ok, seriously speaking though, it's crazy - I could be in the New York Times! Well, not really, but sort of. Metaphorically, at least. And as the writers of Geekologie say, "I've mastered the magic of metaphors and I'm adding it to my wizard resumé."
