German designer Marek Haiduk has some amazing collages and illustrations.

A bike shop in Germany advertisers with around 120 bikes mounted on the outside wall. Woah ... I'm not sure if they're new or used - nice that they don't get thieved!

An interesting series by German photographer/film director Achim Lippoth. Lippoth is best known for working with children as models - in creative and commercial shoots. Check his site as he has some pretty amazing stuff over there!

Yes!

Frenchman Sylvain 'Gunther Love' Quimene from France has won the Air Guitar World Championships for the second year running. The event happened in Finland with 8,000 or so fans there for support.

I just spent an enjoyable 7 minutes or so checking the Orisue Fall Lookbook 2010 - made into a short film. It's well executed, iconic-Montreal and has a pretty bitching soundtrack by Lunice.

We've been following the recently-made Tumblr of Montreal all-round wizz-kid Ben Pobjoy. It's called Aloneliness. Nice name.

- I'll post a photo a day- lone photos (not in my portfolio or my photo essays).

It's only been up for a couple of days but already impressive and you should totally follow it.

Too bad this one's only in the UK. Wrangler is running a campaign where they are asking 4 Brits to drop their lives and Stop Thinking. The contestants will run through a series of events and challenges.

Tiger Distribution have finally announced the winner to their design competition. DAVE ARNOLD! Congrats man! We're waiting to see his winning design - apparently it was a tough decision. A couple of the runnersup can be seen above - wow! 

I was a big fan of building domino-trains as a kid - snaking under chairs and over tables but this takes the cake! Mongolia has just broken the Guinness World Record for human dominoes. 10,276 people (mostly students) sat cross-legged and fell backwards. The whole chain took 1 hour and 20 minutes to fall. Impressive.

I recently came across New York brand Best Made Company. Wow! These guys have some really great products - everything from axes, sporting sales, bags and fishing lures to fashion. Fantastic design!

We're big fans of Montreal-based brand Bandit 1$M. They've got a pretty sweet collection, featuring mostly tees but also hats, stickers, posters and more. They're heavy on the graffiti scene and their designs reflect this.

- The lying down game: 'Parkour...for those who cant be arsed.' Please be aware that the palms of your hands must be flat against your side and the tips of your toes pointing at the ground. Just as if you were standing, but vertically challenged. FACE DOWN!

A sculpture made of discarded clothes by Guerra De La Paz. 'The overabundance of discarded clothes though beautiful in some ways, seems depressingly sad when collectively hanging from a ceiling or arranged like a weeping rainbow.'

I just came across this beautiful series 'Endless Nameless' by Barbara and Michael Leisgen. Wow!
