Inspired by "V" and "V for Vendetta"

The letter of the day is “V”, with lots of sci-fi and political drama coinciding.  The ABC show V aired recently, a show about aliens who promise to fix all of humanity’s problems…but what’s their real motive?  Today is also Guy Fawkes Day, which conjures memories of V from the Alan Moore graphic novel, V for Vendetta.  With so many “V”s floating around, I was inspired to put together a collage of products that embody the danger and drama of the infamous letter!

Sick Geek Care Package

Guh, everyone.  I am quite the sick geek today, with a fever and lots of coughing.  I was inspired to highlight some items for sick geeks who may need a bit of cheering up!  They make great gifts to help a sick geek recover (or recover their sense of humor at least).

I’ve always loved the look of circuit boards: my dad would give me his old ones and I’d pretend they were little cities.  Debby Arem Designs on DaWanda makes circuit boards crafty with some great jewelry and home/office products made from recycled components.  They’re a great connection of tech and art, and look good doing it too:

The Vinyl Record Necklace by arohasilhouettes ($50.00) and the Embroidered Geometry Art Necklace by spinthread ($35.00) are two more pieces of jewelry that mimic the Q*bert cube theme, with gorgeous results!

Inspired by Where the Wild Things Are

I remember reading Where the Wild Things Are as a child, but I only began to appreciate the artwork and story as an adult.  With the release of the movie, it’s a great excuse to explore childhood again with stylish goods fit for a king!  Let the wild rumpus commence after the break:

Where the Wild Things Are collections

Where the Wild Things Are has been inspiring readers for generations, and the recent movie has spurred the creation of two great collections at Urban Outfitters and Opening Ceremony.  The Urban Outfitters collection has more of a cute, childlike feel, with whimsical patters on the Allover Woods Crew T-Shirt, and scribbles on the Wild Grass Pillow.  Where the Wild Things Are Dolls are adorable, and go well with the graphic canvas prints.

Opening Ceremony’s Where the Wild Things Are X collection is more refined and expensive, with lots of furry ensembles and quirky details.  My favorites include the gorgeously fuzzy Carol Flare Coat and the cute typography on the seen/done/loved T-shirt.  The Carol Headband is necessary for when you need to blend in with monsters, and the Ira Claw bracelet is perfect for when your wrist needs a hug.

Inspired by DNA

If you ever wanted to see your own nucleotides, now is the time!  DNA is hip and stylish, with a variety of products representing the human body’s building blocks.  Some can even be personalized: with a swab of cheek cells, a laboratory can create a unique piece of art based entirely on you.  DNA’s iconic double helix shape and telltale lines make great graphic accessories for your home, office, or outfit.

Inspired by the Pantone Chair

The Pantone leather chair, printed by Sif Technology, has been making the rounds on several blogs recently.  Unfortunately it’s not for sale, but you can use its Pantone-patterned array of colors to find comparable pixelated material.
