Gwen Stefani's Humble Start
Canadian studio patkau architects has designed a grouping of temporary shelters to provide ice-skaters with relief from the harsh winter winds.
A cluster of organic, cone-like structures, each accommodating only a few people at a time, gather in the center of the city where the red and assiniboine rivers converge. Standing with their backs to the wind, the units develop a series of protective environments and interior spaces that shield ice-skaters from the fierce winds and temperatures, which can feel like minus fifty degrees celsius at times.

Each shelter, made from two layers of thin, flexible plywood, is given strength and structure through its characteristic bends and timber frame. inside, a timber floor and plywood seating engulf the visitor and aim to convey a sense of warmth and comfort.

Live Action Angry Birds...in Spain?
Not bad Spain, not bad at all. Pretty cool actually. The end of the clip looks most like the game.

KICK ASS POSTERS.
I've somewhat become a fan of the Kick Ass movie. I went to see it not expecting much and I have gotten a soft spot for the film. With that said, I never really followed it that much. I discovered these movie posters that look and have the feel of old war time posters. They totally...well...kick ass.

Do I really need an introduction for this? Felt like my parents got me a set of something pretty close to this every single school year. I would lose half of them by Thanksgiving. :-)

Pretty good documentary on Grindhouse films.
American Grindhouse is an informative look at the history of cinema. From the very beginning there was exploitation. You see the real nature of American’s fucked up fascination with the bizarre and taboo sexual cheap thrills. If you’re into vintage B-films, horror or the history of American movies…this is for you!

This is one of several of Key’s installations made using Chinese Takeout containers as material. Others have included recreations of Chinese restaurants entirely out of takeout foil. His works often play with ideas of what’s “normal” in mainstream British culture in comparison to that of a Chinese or Chinese British perspective and the stereotypes therein.
