Particle Zoo – sewing the fabric of spacetime : subatomic particle plushies

Image

If cuteness were a fundamental force, the plushies from ParticleZoo would be the strongest attractors in the universe.

Check out the plushies from the particlezoo, you can get just one, starting at $9.75 or get a whole universe in a box. Handmade wholesomeness, with a dose of particle physics and a sprinkle of whimsy!

Tuesday Tattoo: Magazine Tattoo

Image

No, this is not photoshopped.

Marc Strömberg is a 22-year-old graphic designer in Ume, Sweden, and his leg is still sore. He creates record sleeves and posters for bands, and in his spare time he runs his own magazine, Tare Lugnt. Instead of publishing the latest edition in traditional paper and ink, he has had issue three entirely tattooed onto his left leg. The leg has now been photographed, and large-scale prints are due to go on display in Göteborg and Stockholm this month.

I don’t think I will ever remove a tattoo. Like I said, every tattoo is like a journal entry, and it represents different periods and places in my life.
