manga plates by mika tsutai
'manga plates' is the graduate project of mika tsutai studying at the kyoto institute of technology in japan. each plate from the collection features various black and white drawings, which take on the personality of a frame from a manga anime. when food is arranged in a certain way among the plates, an animated visual is created.
by placing these dishes in a particular manner you can transform your dinner table into a story, just like that of a page from a japanese comic.

Amazing Natural Ads Printed in Sand, Snow, and Grass
More often than not, advertising campaigns are wasteful endeavors that leave our urban environment plastered with billboards and banners, but the UK startup Curb Media hits all the right notes with their innovative and sustainable ad installations. Curb Media is not a design agency -- instead the group specializes in the production of eco-friendly advertising mediums. Using completely natural materials, they have developed communication methods that will turn heads with an ultra-low carbon footprint. If you have never heard of terms like sea tagging, logrow, or rake ads, take a look after the jump to see some of these incredible installations.
One painstaking piece that really grabbed our attention was this image created on wood of President Obama. As an example of what their artisans can create, the team made this very large graphic using only a sheet of wood and a magnifying glass! The stunning work took 85 hours to complete, but the effort paid off. Curb Media told Inhabitat that the senate says this piece is hanging in the White House. That is what we call some fantastic exposure!

Eat Local Calendars
Artist: Maria Schoettler
Her ‘Eat Local Food Calendar’ was born out of her own valiant, almost obsessive efforts to buy all of her produce locally from her neighborhood farmer’s market, a place where she feels very inspired by the colors and the tastes that surround her. To Maria, the weekly ritual of attending the farmer’s market is something she can feel good about, because it represents how even our small, seemingly simple efforts can enliven local economies and support a huge environmentally conscious cause. Maria is enthusiastic about the homespun, the handmade, family dinners, storytelling and connecting with people over the table and through her artwork and theirs. Maria is always looking for projects that will connect her with her immediate community or even new contingents in far-off places.
