As promised, here's a quick intro to all the cuteness that can be found at Poketo's online shop. From fuzzy bear post-its and mustachioed pen pal cards to day planners, checklists, and travel journals, if you're one of those crazies that spends her Saturdays roaming the aisles of Office Depot (yeah? so?) then Poketo will be sure to fill some stationary void on your desk! http://www.los-list.com/blog/kawaii-poketo-shwag/feed/ 37 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-10-eco-friendlies/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-10-eco-friendlies/#comments Sat, 28 Nov 2009 01:50:55 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=1171

Nope. Not a bug fan. Somehow, I've been designated the official role of Bug-Squasher at home and am certainly not fond of those duties either. Oh! What's that there? A shiny, bits & pieces, watch-innards mechanical bug? Well, that's a whole different cup of tea! http://www.los-list.com/blog/christopher-conte/feed/ 7 http://www.los-list.com/blog/minilogue-ljudbilden/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/minilogue-ljudbilden/#comments Sat, 14 Nov 2009 22:43:52 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=1010

I've been sitting on this killer music video animated and directed by Kristofer Ström for Malmö, Sweden-based electro-duo Minilogue (Sebastian Mullaert & Marcus Henriksson) for too long now and had to spread the wealth as we head into what looks like a dreary, rainy weekend here in NYC... So, throw on your brightest duds and dance along with this rambunctious round-up of animated monstrosities as they run-a-muck around town! For more on the music, check out the Minilogue MySpace page! http://www.los-list.com/blog/minilogue-ljudbilden/feed/ 3 http://www.los-list.com/blog/cute-up-the-wazoo/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/cute-up-the-wazoo/#comments Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:20:00 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=993

What?! In the world!? This ridonkulously cute collab between Buenos Aires-based motion graphics firm PepperMelon, designer, illustrator, and mastermind of cute Sonni, and the character designers (Samuel Albert Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III ) over at Friends With You for Target is just a shroomer's bonanza of kawaii! I'm a bit blissfully ignorant on this one - where and when the ad will (or has already) come out, the story behind the odd little number, the badass exec who greenlighted the project, etc... but really... it's not always necessary... http://www.los-list.com/blog/cute-up-the-wazoo/feed/ 10 http://www.los-list.com/blog/exactitudes/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/exactitudes/#comments Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:22:02 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=942

So, you thought you were one-of-a-kind? Well, think again. Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek have been examining the distinct dress codes of various social clusters for well over a decade now and their striking book of images, Exactitudes (that's exact and attitude smished together), demonstrates once again to us obstinate humans how beautifully similar to one another we are... http://www.los-list.com/blog/exactitudes/feed/ 117 http://www.los-list.com/blog/comic-sans-takes-a-lashing/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/comic-sans-takes-a-lashing/#comments Fri, 18 Sep 2009 05:27:00 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=879

Thank you Mirko Humbert of Designer Daily, for putting out the funniest (Godwin's Law-inspired?) meme I have seen to date... http://www.los-list.com/blog/comic-sans-takes-a-lashing/feed/ 10 http://www.los-list.com/blog/painless-papercuts-pt-2/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/painless-papercuts-pt-2/#comments Sat, 15 Aug 2009 01:32:32 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=788

"I create paper cutouts and seek to extend it as a contemporary, global art form that is deeply rooted in Chinese folk art traditions. To do so, I strive for a universal and amalgamated aesthetics that incorporate imagery rich in cross-cultural references and contemporar subtexts. In these very dense and intricate paper cutouts, I explore the universally shared experiences of power, sacrifice, and survival." - Bovey Lee http://www.los-list.com/blog/painless-papercuts-pt-2/feed/ 6
