Stamps of Approval

A few years back, Pingmag compiled a list of interesting, and often overlooked, European stamps. Themes run the gamut from children activities to public health services.

Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Room

Graphic designer, Can Sayinli, and artist, Jorgen Evil Ekvoll, have created a series of oriental rugs that weave together elementa of politics, war, sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll. The designs were created the computer-generated patterns; and traditional weavers outside Istanbul wove the rugs by hand.

With a middle name like "Evil", one needs to do something badass in their lives.

'Til Perf Do Us Part

John St., Toronto, have designed a wonderful little business card that splits in half so that each party in a divorce process will have the lawyer's contact information.

You may not be able to save your marriage, but at least you can save on paper usage.
