Another funny Virgin mobile ad
February 28, 2013
It reads “At that price, I’ll come back to France”
For those who might not know this one, it’s the actor GĂ©rard Depardieu. He left France to pay less taxes, notice he has a Russian passport in his pocket đ

Fun tattoos by Bonnefrites and Fotokino
February 18, 2013
DĂ©calcomanies by Bonnefrites
These screen-printed tattoos are the result of what I assume is a lot of fun work. The French artist Bonnefrites (BenoĂźt Bonnemaison-Fitte) drew many cool sticker tattoos (dĂ©calcomanies) during an art workshop at La Fabrique de Fotokino in Marseille. Marseille is the European Capital of Culture for 2013 so a lot of artsy stuff is going on over there…

Digital showcases can look cool and seem super modern, but only when they work! Here is a nice “Oops” example I saw the other day…

Zooba – Cairo
February 1, 2013
Zooba sells traditional Egyptian street food on a (almost) silver platter. The food is fresh and full of yummy flavors. You can eat-in, take-out, or shop for your home. The shop is small but very cozy and smells delicious, everyone who works there is very nice. I love the design, even though it was greatly “inspired” by a Japanese matchbox from around 1900…

There is so much to see in this wonderful building. The architecture is remarquable and well preserved. You can simply walk around inside or visit the aquarium and Museum of Immigration…
