Andy Gilmore’s Geometric Art

Rochester, New York-based artist Andy Gilmore’s artwork shows us that simple form and colors can create mesmerizing geometric art. This one above, titled mmmmmmm (available for sale at his Etsy’s shop), is unlike anything my spirograph toy ever produced!

Love beer? Here’s something for you: a neat collection of vintage beer cans by Lance Wilson and Dan Becker. According to TheDieline blog, the duo have over 2000 beer cans from the past 70 years or so, and have uploaded photos of a small fraction of them onto Flickr.

Now You Can Smell Just Like A Swiss Army Knife?

"They’ve already branched out into USB flash drives and MP3 players, so it only makes sense that the next step for Victorinox would be to produce their very own fragrance. Victorinox SWISS Unlimited is described as a natural “swiss essence with notes of wooded silver fir, alpine herbs, absinthe” and just a hint of bottle opener mixed with nail file. And in the true swiss army knife tradition, the bottle is refillable and reusable, and includes a carabiner since you never want to find yourself on the side of a mountain smelling bad."

Bar Gets You Tipsy On Its Air

Adults are often reminded to drink responsibly but customers entering a new cocktail bar where they are literally enveloped in a mist of alcohol are warned to breathe responsibly. Just 40 minutes inside the venue – which delivers an intoxicating vapour of gin and tonic – will leave you feeling slightly merry. Punters are also advised to don special protective suits as they enter the walk-in cocktail to avoid going home smelling like a brewery. To complement the whiff of G&T the bar is decorated with giant limes and massive straws to make visitors feel as if they are inside the drink.” w/ photo
