This post is for all the fans of Max Dana‘s work who want to know more about her inspiration, where it comes from and who inspires her. Working with her and knowing her well, we are supposed to know many things about her work but we are far from knowing everything. For example, we of course know she likes black (in her drawings, her paintings… and in what she wears) but we learned a lot from her recent post on her Blog. It is about ...

Their judging panel narrowed it ...

Last year we published several posts about unicycles. At that time, we wished we could all use one to go to work until we realized the cold and snowy weather would not let us do so. In August, we started the ‘Unicycle Series of Posts’ with the eniCycle: eniCycle: electric unicycle for lazy circus clowns; in September, we followed with the YikeBike: YikeBike: high wheel bicycle of the 21st century, and in October, we introduced you to the Honda ...
