Skyscrapers of the FUTURE in an annual competition from eVolo

Architecture magazine eVolo conducts an annual competition for submissions from architects, designers and artists for the most cutting edge designs for the future.  The winner (which is not shown here, BTW) was unusual, as were the other submissions.  I didn't like the winner so much so I'm not highlighting it.

My favorites, though, are included below.

One of the most interesting and provocative submissions is a picture of mobile buildings on the planet, Mars, which really captivated my imagination.

What a great and unusual annual competition.  Check out the magazine's website at http://www.evolo.us.

Johnny Depp on the COVER of the new GQ

I'm heading directly to the store to get the new GQ issue with that brilliant and gorgeous Johnny Depp on the cover. The issue is the 25 Most Stylish Men in the World and includes a few other favorite hotties: Daniel Day Lewis and Robert Pattinson.

Remarkable Vanity Fair cover for July--and not just because of Johnny Depp

Just received the latest issue of Vanity Fair which has a very interesting cover. The face of Johnny Depp, that exquisitely beautiful man, takes up about 80% of the cover. Very interesting and quite a fascinating character study of a photograph. I can't stop exploring the photo of Depp's face. At the bottom right hand of the cover, though, on Depp's collar, just at the edge of the page, is a remarkable quote in very tiny print......you almost have to hunt for it through the wonderful distraction of Depp's face:

"There is only one success--to be able to spend your life in your own way."
--Christopher Morley

That really says it all, doesn't it? What a beautiful thought.

And what a beautiful cover...what a very anti-Photoshop/airbrush statement, no? with all of the recent commotion about airbrushed, faux perfection on magazine covers....and how unusual for a close up photo to take up so much room.....a unique, nontraditional, and captivating cover. This is not a vanity photo but perfectly gorgeous in every way if you ask me. See what I mean?
