I LOVE scratch off tickets in the sense that I love the idea of them….(not that I buy them).
I love this scratch off work “Hidden Love Song” by design team Milk and Tales.

And now I know how to make my own scratch off!

check out what this sculpture artist does with ordinary objects.  so amazing!

i really love this piece by maya lin (blue lake pass).  she reorganizes a terrain from colorado into a geologic experience that is split into 3′x3′ sections.  it gives one a new sense of topography that I love.

i also find it to be a beautiful new approach to “the map”….taking the terrain into a 3D experience.

saw this “helmet piece” by Maya Suess at the Conflux conference today.
it is really creepy to stand in someone’s personal space, without them really knowing you are there, and listen to them breathe. it’s such an intimate experience, and feels wrong…..like you are spying on them.
