The Anti-Watch
On 17, Jul 2014 | In Uncategorized | By Bruce Adhoc
This wristwatch truly thinks outside the circle. Thanks to modern technology, we no longer need to conform to traditional ideas for product design. Doesn’t it seem like just yesterday when shampoo and conditioner miraculously mated in the same bottle? Time to rethink convention. (No offense to the Convention Convention, January 15th at the airport Marriott. Free parking.)
Takes a licking, keeps on confounding
Photographer Martin Schoeller
On 15, Jul 2010 | In Uncategorized | By Bruce Adhoc
When is a head shot more than a head shot? When it is captured by über-photographer Martin Schoeller, whose simple, yet sometimes bizarre portraits are almost trance-inducing. Please, do not use steroids or lift heavy objects while viewing (Uh-oh, too late).
got glass?

There’s something fresh and charming about this little half-pint creamer. Retro and progressive, it makes a cool gift for around fifteen bucks.

If you’ve visited Manhattan lately, you may have noticed life-sized nakedsculptures gracing sidewalks and rooftops. This is the work of London-based artist Antony Gormley, whose figurative work is both striking and contemplative. See more of his work atwww.antonygormley.com
Fluid Architecture
On 01, Apr 2010 | In Uncategorized | By Bruce Adhoc
The Aqua Building in Chicago is an 82-story mixed use skyscraper designed by architect Jeanne Gang. Its eye-catching design and undulating shape is reminiscent of a melting ice cube. And just like an ice cube, it’s quite cool indeed.
Persistence of Time
On 15, Mar 2010 | In Uncategorized | By Bruce Adhoc
No, this is not an Amish man in a clock, but rather a flat panel video monitor playing a continuous loop of a man patiently drawing, then erasing each minute and hour in real time for twelve hours. What time is it? Time to check into a mental hospital.
Old Man Time
1937 Talbot-Lago Figoni-Falaschi Coupe
On 25, Jan 2010 | In Uncategorized | By Bruce Adhoc
Even if you’re not into cars, it’s easy to appreciate the fluid and futuristic lines of this French beauty. In its day, this car was often scorned as “outrageous” and downright “indecent”. Today, those same words are uttered by accountants upon hearing that Talbot-Lagos can demand upwards of $5 million at auction.
Holiday Thermodynamics
On 31, Dec 2009 | In Uncategorized | By Bruce Adhoc
For the holidays, we present an ingenious invention to help prevent your holiday toast from getting toasty. The double-wall champagne flute acts as a glass thermos, creating an elegant barrier between the warmth of your hand and the cold bubbly. Chic physics. (Say that five times fast after a glass!)
Tilt-Shift Photography
On 15, Dec 2009 | In Uncategorized | By Bruce Adhoc
This is an interesting photographic technique which fakes a very narrow depth of field to create a “miniature” effect. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that your brain continues to malfunction even when you understand the trick. Check your warranty.
Forgotten Commercial Artists
On 15, Nov 2009 | In Uncategorized | By Bruce Adhoc
This is artwork from a series of truck ads in the 1940’s by commercial illustrator William Campbell. Despite the mundane subject matter, the lighting, composition and use of color is striking. They just don’t make ’em like they used to…
