There are some times after a long day at work I begin to question the decision I’ve made to live across town in Silver Lake. The traffic, the constant stop and go, the price of gas, nothing but politics on the radio…it’ll start to get to you. Just like all the West siders said it would. But then…every single time…I cross over Sunset Boulevard and am met with the moon shining down on the hills. Tall against the night sky, twinkling lights scattered across them welcoming me home. And then I remember why I’m here.

Cambodia Town? Far Eastside? Little Seoul? My own Los Feliz? In love with these pieces by  LA artist Eric Brightwell. So far, he’s done 118 maps of LA neighborhoods (and he still figures he’s only mapped about 10% of the city’s ‘hoods). Must start collecting.

I need an inspiration incubator. 
thedailywhat:

Human-Sized Bird’s Nest of the Day: The Giant Birdsnest from O*GE was designed to be a multi-purpose creativity space for “creating new ideas.”
Part furniture, part playground, the inspiration incubator comfortably seats 16 and “needs no explanation or user manual”: Do whatever you want inside, just clean up after you’re done.

What happens when you take unloved stuffed animals, turn them inside out, and then sew them back up again? This. Want. 
Swiss Designers Turn Stuffed Animals Inside OutIt’s what’s on the inside that counts, as our mothers have always said. Perhaps offering more in the way of nightmare fuel than comfort for children, Swiss design firm Atelier Volvox took a bunch of unloved stuffed animals, turned them inside out, and then sewed them back up again. Creepiness aside, the series has even been able to snag the Recycling Design Award 2012.  Read more.

Intimate Portraits of Train Passengers in India
Beautiful and insightful photos series by photographer Mark Sheratt: “Once I got into it, I realized that the trains are such a good microcosm of Indian society,” he explained to us over email. “They are full of the rich and poor, the old and young, etc. They are also a great example of how the society works in general. They are often crowded and hectic, but everything seems to work really well. There is always room for one more, and people are always willing to help you out.”
