Psychedelic 60s design

Organic shapes, round curves and space travel!

There is something equally modernistic and psychedelic about the forms and the angles of the 60s design.

It was the age of soft drugs, mind exploration and the first Moon expeditions. Architecture, furniture and home accessories of that time were often inspired with the shape of the astronaut's helmet and had this subtle sci-fi feeling about them. What a wonderfully creative decade that was! That is mainly due to the impressive work of designers such as: Panton, Eero Aarnio, Joe Colombo, Gaetano Pesce and Archizoom. Time has passed, but their ideas haven't aged at all! Because icons are universal.

The Art Of Recycling - Dogs

Robert Bradford's amazing postmodern pieces are definitely inspired with Jeff Koons, plastic toys, childhood and well... a bit of everything to be honest.

Frankenweenie

Tim Burton's 'Frankenweenie' is a story of a lovely dog Sparky and his young owner Victor. Due to an unfortunate car accident Sparky dies. But before he rests his poor dog's bones in peace Victor brings him back to life using his knowledge of science and an experiment with electricity. Soon everybody learns about Victor's zombie-pet messing around the town. Experimental technology which brings the dead back to life ends up in the hands of the wrong people. But the love beetween Victor and his dog prevails and saves the town!

Black and white 'hand-made' animation. 87 minutes. Brilliant!

If people don't show acceptance for this marvelous one-eyed design in a few days, it will be rejected and thrown away. I fear it might happen because of Christmass time and few people voting. However I don't want to use you, either. So feel free to vote or not. I will be truly grateful for every single person clicking "I like it". And every single person liking it as well.

I feel particularly connected to this project, as it shows my dog from my childhood, but in green and with one eye. I really loved my dog, however I was a cruel and often thoughtless child and I feel sorry for this. I would love my dog back, but she is gone. However I might have dogs in the future. I'm thinking of becoming a loving dog couch and repenting for bad actions from the past.
