‘A Beautiful Revolution’ is the most wonderful blog/art project I’ve found in the past year. I’ve posted my favourite painting a few months ago but really, all the other smaller drawings, postcards and comic strips carry equally charming messages.

“The Power of Books” is a series of photographs about how much we can get pulled into the worlds inside books by Mladen Penev.

I’ve seen the first one several times before but I didn’t know it was part of a series. I’m glad it is, the idea is too good for just one photo.

Nowadays we are buying food based on value of money, not based on nutrition or the amount of food we really need. That’s what the My sweets collection tries to solve: ‘Can design make people buy food that offers LESS?’

The solution was simple: the candies would taste the same, maintaining all the deliciousness we’re used to and expect when we buy them but by losing some pieces they would instantly lose some of the fat, sugar, and cholesterol.

Each snack has a particular design and shape cut that besides decreasing the amount of fat from 20 to 30 percent make them look even tastier than a regular bar.

The collaborators Walter Martin & Paloma Muñoz designed snowy tales inside snowglobes. Each of them look like a tiny beautiful gloomy world that makes you wonder what is the story behind the eerie scene. Check out more of the collection here.

I’MPERFECT is project that celebrates the beauty of the different proportions of the human body. The designer, Leonie Janssen, mapped out several body types and compiled them into a book. Then, she translated those pictograms into simple products such as safety pins and clothes pegs. It’s amazing to see all the shapes together side by side and how every one of them have its own beauty, its own perfection.

Face Your Pockets is an online art project that asks you to share some of the small stuff you carry on your pockets attempting to reveal the inner you. Not only the possessions you choose to show but the way you artfully arrange them onto the scanner might say a lot about your life and personality. The project began in Russia but now you can see pictures from all over the world making it even more interesting when you compare your pockets with those overseas.

The You Are Beautiful project encourages people to post the phrase “You are beautiful” in random places where anyone can see. The message is simple and amazing: we are all beautifully unique individuals. You can use the world as the canvas or order the stickers on the website to spread the word around.

I’ve received an e-mail today asking me about my tumblr pic. So here it goes:

The photo belongs to my all-time favourite set on flickr. We took them after a party. I took the ones from them and Camila (top left) took mine (thus the slightly different angle). No special lights, cameras or makeup involved. Just four girls, a chair and a sony cybershot. That’s it. :)
