Now that Hurricane Earl it officially cruising up the east coast, we thought it might be the perfect time to share this series of hurricane drawings created by our very talented friend, Stephen Floyd. You need to click to enlarge, because each of the 30 hurricanes comes complete with a short and often hilarious bio. I’m not sure if any of these are still available, but I’ll fight whoever gets in my way of owning one.
See the rest of the series HERE.
Oscar lost his two back legs when a harvester ran over them while he was napping in a field. After multiple surgeries, he finally had metal implants secured to his ankle bones and is now walking pain free.
I admit, I got teary-eyed after watching the short video below.
Jean Paul Gaultier is collaborating with French furniture brand Roche Bobois, which will be released sometime next year. Gaultier was invited to renovate Elle Decoration suite, in which one of the rooms is covered in plants and ivy.
He states, “Plants are invited in, a garden is printed on the walls! Ivy weaves into the sofa; lichen grows over the woven chairs in the shade of a tree, and moss, like green velvet, carpets the stone, plants tumble down in steps, hiding in a net.”
I just read this story in the Wall Street Journal and couldn’t resist sharing. Apparently big cats are going crazy for Calvin Klein’s Obsession for Men. In a recent study done, zookeepers and field researchers sprayed it on posts and rocks, causing the cats to rub up against, cuddle with and roll around it for up to 11 minutes.. savoring it longer than even their food. Read the whole story here.
This is pretty awesome. This video was created freedivers Guillaume Néry and Julie Gautier, and as they sum it up best by stating, “World champion freediver Guillaume Nery special dive at Dean’s Blue Hole, the deepest blue hole in the world filmed entirely on breath hold by the french champion Julie Gautier.”

I saw one of Lítill’s beautiful terrariums in Dwell Magazine last month and had to learn more.. I found out that minimal watering and little sunlight really make these florish, so now I’m convinced that this is the perfect house plant replacement. Plus, they’re really cute! For more info visit their site here.
This giant sinkhole in Guatemala was caused by a combination of heavy rains and a poor underground network. Yikes.
According to botanists, some plants do better when their roots are exposed to the sun. I’m kind of hoping this explains why I’m constantly killing my houseplants. Anyway, Jomi Marco & Josep Armengol designed this Pyrex vase that not only can help the plant live longer, but its roots also become somewhat of a sculptural element that adds to the beauty of the plant itself.
Umm, this is pretty much the best video I’ve seen in a while. Some people say it’s fake, but I’m going with, THIS BEAR IS AWESOME!
I don’t know where these two lovely ladies are, but it’s exactly where I want to maintain my residence immediately. When you live in a city as long as I feel like I have, places like this look film sets.
Beautiful series by Antonella Arismendi. See the rest of it HERE.
The three-day old pinto stallion, Einstein, is just 14 inches high and weighs only 6lbs! Unlike the current record holder, Thumbelina, Einstein shows no signs of dwarfism. So cute!
Watch a video of his 1st time outside HERE.
I know Eyjafjallajökull is still all over the news and everyone’s probably tired of hearing about it, but this up-close footage is pretty spectacular! Clouds of ash, flying debris, and lightning make for a pretty interesting minute and 1/2.
Thai company, Ayodhya, uses real dried moss under a glass table top to create a really pretty coffee table.
If this octopus was a person, this would have definitely ended up on Cops. He steals a divers camera and then films his own escape..
It all ends well though, with the diver giving him a ride around the ocean on a speargun (no, he did not harm him). Worth the 3 minutes, click image for video.
