In college my wife had an Escort that said “PONY” across the side. Fierce.
This is a drawing Jeremy Fish stuck on his Juxtapoz blog inspired by a vintage car show visit. Based on his Grandma’s car when he was a kid. Cool.

Bughouse is a California couple that makes functional art like the Zeppelin-ended coffee table above, and even art-art like these Hi-Fi wall pieces. They use everything from photo transfers and vinyl wraps to recreate the look of vintage vinyl and accompanying ephemera. Cool idea. Check out the Bughouse site and see what else they do.

This is disgustingly awesome. Kittiwat Unarrom baked and sculped body-part shaped bread for a show in Ratchaburi, Thailand. Pretty damn gross, yes. But a very cool message:
“When people see the bread, they don’t want to eat it. But when they taste it, it’s just normal bread. The lesson is ‘don’t judge just by outer appearances.”
See pics and video. (Thanks, Timothy!)
UPDATE: Winners posted. Jeff’s and Tyler’s got a nod. Congrats.
Here’s some entries from a couple Friends of The Umlaut for Gizmodo’s new photoshop contest. Good luck to Jeff’s Purple Segway, Tyler’s Bluetooth Thriller & Wii Jam, and Davon’s Ghost In The iMachine.
