Lamenting that he couldn’t build a real tree house for his son, Brock Davis (previously here and here) set out to build this Broccoli House using some glue and balsa wood. I love this so much.

Gummy Bearskin RugMay 26
A new photo from Brock Davis (previously) who thinks of more wacky creative things in a week than I do in a year.
Edible ZoetropesMay 23
First we had the Cylotrope and then the Turntable Phonotrope and now the whirling edible creation of Alexandre Dubosc called Alimation created for the 2011 Annecy International Animated Film Festival. Using crepes, cakes, and towers of matches Dubosc attempts to “animate the taste buds.”

Gary Bryan photographs these perfect little edible structures without the use of CGI using nothing but great lighting and little cookie wafers. (via creative review)
Take a sip from the original coke bottleMay 10
Let’s turn back the clock a bit. It’s a hot day in 1886 and you’re sitting on the back porch of your great-great-great grandfather’s homestead as he talks about how some fellas up in New York are erecting a huge statue of a lady called the Statue of Liberty and then trails off into a long-winded diatribe about Grover Clevland’s economic policies. Suddenly the screen door slams and your great-great-great grandmother emerges from the kitchen holding two sweaty glass bottles of dark brown liquid fresh from the ice box labeled as John Pemberton’s Coca-Cola. Refreshing. Now you can re-live these nostalgic days of over a century ago with a 125th anniverary bottle of Coca-Cola available at Selfridges for a limited time. (via svpply)

A billboard powered by orangesApril 12
Another really fun ad, this time by DDB in Paris for Tropicana.
We created a billboard that harnesses the energy from oranges to illuminate a neon sign that reads “Natural Energy”. Through several thousand spikes of copper and zinc, a lot of wiring and 3 months of testing we managed to make a giant multi-cell battery powerful enough to light up a billboard. The custom build was produced by Unit9 in collaboration with director Johnny Hardstaff who created the accompanying 90 second film.
Advertisement or not, this looks like it was a really cool endeavor. Gooooo science! (via i believe in advertising)
