dreams

An award-winning experimental short by Samuel Blain (his graduation piece from Northumbria University) in which four subjects talking about their vivid dreams have their heads replaced with appropriately nightmarish visual manifestations.

Sleep tight.

hoodie

What started out as a 2012 April Fool’s skit from Thinkgeek is now an actual thing you can nearly buy.

The Technomancer Digital Wizard Hoodie (€88 but currently out of stock) is a garment fitted with a speaker box, 32 LED lights and a sensor board allowing you to bust nine spells before being pummelled to the ground by concerned onlookers.

A rather charming stop-motion video of Italian toymaker Rosario Calandra at work by Michael Dunlea who sez:

Rosario Calandra from Ventrytoy playfully shows us how he makes just one of his vast collection of 100% Irish handmade wooden toys, “The Bremen Town Musicians”. The video hopefully highlights just how labour intensive it is to make these toys which are unique in design and are made to last. Rosario hails from Sicily but has settled in Ventry village (Ceann Trá) in county Kerry in the West of Ireland. This video will be used to promote Ventrytoy at the upcoming National Crafts and Design Fair 2013 (4th – 8th December) in the RDS, Dublin, Ireland.
