With all the bizarre building designs being thrown up around town the idea of a building, or series of buildings shaped like letters of the alphabet shouldn’t be all that shocking. Well, artist Scott Teplin has created just that, a series of “dream-houses” in the shapes of the alphabet. “Explore in each a bizarre, miniaturized constellation of bed rooms, drawing rooms, fantasy swimming pools, mysterious laboratories, personal ice cream parlors, gambling halls, nuclear reactors, and oozing phenomena of unknown consequence.” Available for individual sale for $80- each, or bound together in a book for $2000-. Get yours here.

Canadian artist Sean Martindale, known for his guerilla gardening, recently created this amusing installation in Grange Park, Toronto. Made up of 21,633 feet of nylon string, from the side the work looks like nothing more than a spider web city, but viewed from the front the strong connects to spell out the always evocative “FREE”. Sean says “The word FREE refers to the public aspect of my projects, where I create work experienced primarily by accidental audiences. I outlined the word FREE by tying strings within and through the properties of the barrier / constraining structure of the chainlink fence.”

“There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.” - Harry S. Truman
Sometimes looking to the past is the best place to begin going forward. One of the best places to gain inspiration in a world of monotonous design is to go to the relic of gaudiness past. The Las Vegas Neon Museum offers just that, aisle after aisle of vintage Vegas signs tossed aside like your 1981 Datsun 210 station wagon.

The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, aka PLCH for those in the know, has a great online library to find interesting bits of knowledge like these vintage World War II propaganda posters. - Shhhh, I didn’t say nothing.
