Sometimes stepping in the world of the imagination can create amazing pieces. Just like these from Dara Scully, a young and imaginative artist with a childlike take on her imagination. She transports the viewer into another realm of fantasy which blends the line between fact and fiction. She hangs with miniature elephants and tames the wild beast and she rides hot air balloons via a bicycle. It doesn't get any more child like than that. See more of her work on flickr or here site.

Note Design Studio is the creator behind the redesign of the Swedish company ATG and its IT department. The Client was looking for a work space that was opened and had good acoustics and proper lighting.  The inspiration behind this office came from aerial photography, where distinct patterns of varied land surfaces connected to each other.   To give it this feel, they used different flooring to give the room more individual space and visually make the room stimulating. They also used varied colors to give the room a different feel per section.  This is a very creative space and I kind of wish my IT office looked this sweet, but unfortunately it doesn't.

Jeremy Kool is the 3D artist and graphic designer behind "The Paper Fox Project". His aim is to create a children's picture book for the iPad and Android tablets to be release in 2012. The art style used in this book is quite unique and is created digitally to make it look like paper-craft and origami. I think this is a neat  project. If you want to help fund his project or find out more info you can check it out on Pozible or on his blog.

Photographer Todd Mclellan is the created of the "disassembly" series, in which he captures old relics of the past and shows them in their dismantled form. Like the Things Organized Neatly site, this series takes it one step further with the dismantled form and the almost obsessive-compulsive arrangement by its type, size and function that gives it a clear picture of the style and parts of the past.

Fleet Foxes, The Shrine/An Argument created by Sean Pecknold and his team is met with the vocal sounds of Robert Pecknold's brother. It's a wondering and amazing journey that can only be breathtaking. It's a crazy and wild story of a wondering antelope and his journey of losing life and being part of nature and the struggle of life and death. The video pulls you in with its beautiful color treatments and visual splendor.

My only advice would be what Sean and his team advised and that is to watch it in HD with headphones or speakers and in "full screen if you really want to get crazy".  Enjoy!

Fab Ciraolo is an illustrator from Chile, who took things back a little old school.  You remember a lot of the 80's cartoons like Captain Planet, Thundercats, Rainbow Brite, and etc. Well, Fab gave them a little flash with some old school outfits and an outer space background look.  If you get a chance check out some of his other work on his blog.

The South Yarra House was designed by LSA Architects and it captivates your attention immediately. To engage your attention they implement voluminous forms wherever possible, installing varied planes, and used color to keep your attention while blurring the internal/external boundaries.

The interior of the home is gorgeous with its use of minimal space with high ceilings, giving the home a more opened feel. The boundaries between the patio and the living space blend so nicely that you almost think its one room.  If you want to read the architects description of the house you can check it out on Contemporist.com.
