Line Up

Philippe Petit is probably best known as the  Man on Wire, the high wiire artist who walked between the Twin Towers on a narrow wire in 1974; this time he teamed up with renowned photographer Victoria Dearing for this exhibit that documents Petit's most recent 'project' as a teacher of a Action Maverick Master class at the Streb Lab in Brooklyn.
'Line-up' not only features photographs by Dearing  but also and drawings by Petit himself and the beautiful Clic Gallery will welcome the opening reception for the exhibit this coming Thursday December 1, 2010.

What he saw today

You know him for his collaboration with J Crew and his work with In Style Magazine, Calvin Klein (...) but on his blog,  What I Saw Today, Richard Haines aka The DesignerMan draws street style.
Everyday or so, he sketches fashionistas, hipsters, and other instant celebrities on whatever support he can put his hands on: paper, newspapers, envelopes... We love.

You are never to old to learn

A dentist invented the electric chair? (No wonder I hate the dentist)
The average chocolate bar has 8 insect legs in it. (That ain't right)
Thomas Edison inventor of the light bulb was scared of the dark. (funny and sad)

These random, sometimes weird, lesser known fun facts came from Learn Something Every Day, a self-initiated daily project by UK based design studio Young. Readers can also submit a fact or shop.
