Photographer Christoffer Relander just finished a new series of photographs titled "We Are Nature" using double and triple exposures that were all done in-camera with his Nikon D700.  You can see more of Christoffer's work on Behance.

Roby Dwi Antono and his solo 2012 drawing exhibition evokes an uneasy feeling but also captures the wonder of imagination.  What caught my attention was the array of characters and the detail of each poster which were all done by pencil.  One of my favorites in this series is the rabbit like girl with the peacock hair and the tortoise by her side, it's just simple but complex. Check out more of his work on Behance.

Since I'm a person who likes to color coordinate I found that Csepel Royal did a wonderful job at color coordinating colorful spreads of bike parts. Being a fan of all kinds of bikes, seeing parts laid out like this is really sweet.  Check out their website and build yourself a color coordinated bike or get wild with the colors and parts.

Talk about a beautifully designed weather app to give you what you need in looks and information. David Elgena is the creator behind the Braun/Dieter Rams inspired weather iphone app called Wthr. The app is very nicely done and I’d say it would be cool to have although after reading the comments it still has an issue with turning off and on the GPS, I'm sure they will get it fixed quick.

The Budnitz Titanium Beer Wrench ($38) could just come in handy, not only to fix your bike but also to open up that nice beer. The Beer Wrench has a titanium 15mm spanner on one side, and a bottle opener on the other.  Two titanium thumb-screws attach it securely to the water bottle mounts on most bicycles.

The 15mm wrench will remove rear axle bolts, Alfine internal hub bolts, and Pitlock keys, making it perfect for removing a wheel on the road.  The bottle opener opens... a beer. It also has a nice engraved quote "the road is out destination".

Who does what I do when I get home? Start laying out all of your stuff in your pockets and putting them all over the place. Wouldn't it be nice to have a spot where you could put all your stuff in one place. The Butler ($170) by Curtis Micklish makes that decision a no-brainer. Made of solid walnut and baltic birch laminated ply, this stylish wall-mounted organizer is the perfect item to greet you at the door.

A smartly designed slider makes the butler perfect for hanging your glasses, hats, scarves or a watch, while two top cubbies contain other essentials like your wallet and keys. There’s also a side slot for iPhone owners, and if you can mount it near an outlet, there’s even a concealed part for a charging cord.

I like turtles! So today when stumbling around on the internet I found a cool little piece on brainpickings.com about a book from the 1820's that shows wonderful illustrations of the anatomy of turtles. The book Anatome Testudinis Europaeae by the German physician and naturalist Ludwig Heinrich Bojanus (1776–1827). The two-volume is in Latin, featuring some stunning images of turtle anatomy, was published in 1820 and is now in public domain, digitized by Harvard for your viewing pleasure. So enjoy!
