Meatpaper
I thought I'd give you SF | West Coasters a little art and culture to chew on... This magazine is for anyone who loves food and art as much as I do!
Meatpaper is a print magazine of art and ideas about meat. We like metaphors more than marinating tips. We are your journal of meat culture.
Meatpaper is based in SF and their website ain't bad either. Tamara Kostianovsky, who's work you see below, is just on of their many featured artists.
Meatpaper | coming to a table near me soon!

Compass in Hand: Selections from The Judith Rothschild Foundation Contemporary Drawings Collection
Compass in Hand
comprised of nine digital images of disasters taken from mass media. The images are arranged in a grid and superimposed with a constellation of circles made by the artist. Walker stipulates that the images can be reproduced and disseminated as often as desired and on any variety of materials. In consultation with the artist, the work was reproduced as wallpaper for the exhibition Compass in Hand—and it’s also available as a free download.

The Judith Rothschild Foundation Contemporary Drawings Collection, acquired by the Museum in 2005, is an extraordinary collection of over 2,500 contemporary works on paper. Through a selection of more than three hundred works, this first comprehensive presentation of the gift surveys the various methods and materials within the styles of gestural and geometric abstraction, representation and figuration, and systems-based and conceptual drawings. The exhibition brings together historical works by Lee Bontecou and Joseph Beuys; Minimalist and Conceptual works by Donald Judd and Hanne Darboven; detailed narrative drawings by Elizabeth Peyton and John Currin; collages by Amelie von Wulffen, Mona Hatoum, Lucy McKenzie and Paulina Olowska; and large-scale installations by Nate Lowman and Ján Mancuska, to name just a few. In its exploration of diverse artistic tendencies at the turn of the twenty-first century, this exhibition proudly celebrates the panoramic state of drawing today.

Hey, I'm working on a wordless blog site right now, basically images that are cool/inspiring/weird/etc. for you people to scroll through and be mesmerized by. It's heavily based off of Haw-Lin.com, but mine will probably be more design oriented. Its called Things_I_Take. Blurp it, or let me know what you think.

Mike and Maaike's ATNMBL
For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, what we're talking about here is the ATNMBL, a recent transportation concept from the studio of Mike and Maaike in San Francisco. What it promises is nothing short of the end of the driving experience. No more traffic jams, no more eating, talking / texting, no more reading or doing your nails while trying to drive, no more putting your life on hold so you can get to where you're going.
I've seen this concept making the rounds for a few weeks now, and I hadn't honestly given it too much thought until I saw it on Core77 yesterday and began reading the comments section. What struck me was the sheer volume of comments (many Core77 posts get very few if any posts as far as I can see) It is clear from the reaction (among the design community no less) that this is a polarizing concept. Many comments were simply criticizing its lack of feasibility (airbags, etc.).
Personally, I think the concept is extremely well presented. I have no issue with showing an idea that is unfeasible as a concept; its value and role as a catalyst is invaluable.
What I'm most interested in is how you guys feel about a driverless transportation system! Personally, I love driving, but I absolutely hate all of the things that Mike and Maaike identified that go along with driving in built up urban areas. I could see a future in which such a system becomes more mainstream and the personal automobile becomes a pastime or a hobby, much as what happened to the horse when cars first came about. What are your thoughts?

Great ad campaign
Pretty amazing ad campaign for a suppressed Zimbabwean newspaper. The journalists were exiled by the government regime and a tax was put on the paper making it unfordable to the citizens. The campaign raised awareness around the globe to spread the word of the oppressive regime and the shittiness of their situation. Great video here.
