In particle physics, supersymmetry (often abbreviated SUSY) is a symmetry that relates elementary particles of one spin to other particles that differ by half a unit of spin and are known assuperpartners. In a theory with unbroken supersymmetry, for every type of boson there exists a corresponding type of fermion with the same mass and internal quantum numbers, and vice-versa.

I’ll just look at this pretty picture.

Kandinsky, a russian artist, who was a design instructor at The Bauhaus. His work is so energetic. A simple Google image search is quite inspiring

One of the most prolific and mysterious graffiti artists of the last decade, BNE; whom you’ve more than likely seen his super adhesive stickers somewhere in the world, is having his first exhibition tomorrow in NYC. Sponsored by the online zine ANIMAL and the ad agency Mother.

Some consider his tag to over shadow many major global brands. A real lesson in branding.

I recently stumbled upon these striking photos by NYC photographer Julia Chesky. The model’s name is Chris, and even though he would be considered homeless by most, Mercer street has been his home for several decades. Chris really has too much style to look like your average homless person, his charm necklaces are amazing. The second photo reminds me very much of Alan Watts.

Julia Chesky runs a photo blog that catalogues the city’s many intricate window displays known as Modelizing . She has titled this project the “Original Hipster”, based on a children’s book published in the mid 1960’s called the “The Pushcart War“; a story about the conflict between pushcart peddlers and delivery trucks in New York City.

I’ve been a huge fan of this type of scientific illustration for a while, and today i finally immersed myself into the history of one of the artists: Ernst Haeckel.  The organisms are living abstract art, and Ernst’s level of detail and color palette are just amazing. What is also amazing is these drawings were done over a century ago, and Ernst wasn’t just a prolific artist, he was also a biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, and professor; who also discovered thousands of new species and contributed heavily to the genealogical tree. Find out more on wikipedia.

More of Ernst’s art can be found on Nick Derington’s flickr, thanks Nick for compiling all these images.

Moving forward, I hope the sense is a little more common.

The scandinavians really have an eye for the fundamental design principles. These logos from the 60’s and 70’s have a tight grasp on form and typography. I feel these embody everything a logo should be; simple, accessible, scalable.

There are a ton of other great ones at Oliver Thomas’ flickr.

Thank God It’s Monday.
