Totally useless? Perhaps. The envy of any desk trinket collection? For sure. These custom emoticon stamps from Tokyo-based company Gung are ready to crank out more than 2000 Japanese-esque smilie faces... http://www.los-list.com/blog/kawaii-gung-kaioro-stamp/feed/ 10 http://www.los-list.com/blog/i-heart-art-karolin-schnoor/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/i-heart-art-karolin-schnoor/#comments Wed, 12 Jan 2011 20:52:26 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10673

Although Karolin Schnoor's roots are in Berlin and her home base is London, we can't help but notice (and love) the very Slavic vibe behind her illustrations, paintings, and sketches... http://www.los-list.com/blog/i-heart-art-karolin-schnoor/feed/ 6 http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-inspiration-pad/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-inspiration-pad/#comments Thu, 06 Jan 2011 19:01:39 +0000 Jerome Luc Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10645

“Tell all the Truth but tell it slant” advises Emily Dickinson. She may not have had these particular notebooks in mind, but we think they’re the perfect way for any writer to set a slanting course... http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-inspiration-pad/feed/ 4 http://www.los-list.com/blog/paris-vs-new-york/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/paris-vs-new-york/#comments Wed, 03 Nov 2010 19:26:54 +0000 Rebecca Prusinowski http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=9812

It's the City of Lights against The Big Apple – and this battle is a sight to behold! We're talking, of course, about Paris Versus New York: A Tally of Two Cities, the charming blog started recently by Paris-based art director and graphic designer Vahram Muratya... http://www.los-list.com/blog/paris-vs-new-york/feed/ 79 http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-moleskine-pac-man/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-moleskine-pac-man/#comments Thu, 21 Oct 2010 23:41:06 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=9433

It was at the local ice skating rink where I first battled Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde. I would feed the game's coin slot with a bottomless pocket of quarters while destroying my pearly whites with Mike and Ikes and Hot Tamales. http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-moleskine-pac-man/feed/ 3 http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-upon-a-fold/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-upon-a-fold/#comments Mon, 04 Oct 2010 20:20:21 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=8730

The rain is pattering down on Brooklyn today — not that I'm bothered, considering YZ & I will be in 74º-and-sunny LA by tomorrow noon... But on gray Mondays like these (especially if you have munchkins that need entertaining) it's always nice to whip out the origami paper and mountain fold your way to a paper crane mobile or a very ambitious kusudama. http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-upon-a-fold/feed/ 93 http://www.los-list.com/blog/bookworm-joelle-jolivet/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/bookworm-joelle-jolivet/#comments Mon, 20 Sep 2010 18:07:27 +0000 Jerome Luc Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=8433

It’s never too late to have a happy childhood, as our dad likes to say—and indeed, having discovered Joëlle Jolivet’s lusciously illustrated children’s books, we’re about ready for a second helping. We’ve been aware of Jolivet’s work for some time now: while browsing our favorite librairies... http://www.los-list.com/blog/bookworm-joelle-jolivet/feed/ 18 http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-arkitip/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-arkitip/#comments Wed, 07 Jul 2010 21:20:21 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=6893

This year's official World Cup South Africa poster — conceived by Switch Design's Johannesburg office — is a stunner, but the Cup is never just about a single team. Why have one when you can have 17... http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-fifa-posters/feed/ 4 http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-4th-of-july/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-4th-of-july/#comments Mon, 05 Jul 2010 02:49:30 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=6854
