A swell gang of wooden friends

Designer Mark Giglio lives and works in Oakland, California. He's worked with 2k by Gingham, Apple, Dwell, GSP, Nike, Tolleson Design, and others.

I love the simplicity of his work - whether it's his wooden pieces, illustrations, or awesome t-shirts, everything is finely balanced and clean.

Tuesday Trio: balloons, piñatas, and robots

Jason Hackenwert makes more than your average balloon animals; his pieces remind me of giant sea creatures and/or microscopic organisms - you choose.  Watch Jason destroy one of his sculptures with a razor.
Yoo Young Wun transforms newspapers, advertisements,  and handbills into crazy distorted characters.  It appears that he uses some sort of special folding technique to produces the unique surface texture.
Gordon Bennett assembles these robots from found objects. Ranging in height from 14-25" these one-of-a-kind sculptures each take about a month to build and are definitely not toys.  Bennett's work is inspired by the industrial designers, Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy (a Loewy pencil sharpener prototype sold at auction for 100k).
