The Beer Turnstile

Carnival in Rio is exuberant and outrageous. So beer brand Antarctica as a main sponsor decided to match their advertising with a potent message of ‘Don’t Drink and Drive’. Arrive safely at home after drinking by using the a ‘Beer Turnstile’ at the metro station. Now....how do we get every subway system to implement this?

Bacon AT-AT and AK47

The 3-ft. tall Bacon AT-AT Walker is constructed using 40 lbs. of bacon stuck to a foam base. This porky monstrosity took 21 straight-hours of work to build and probably about a quarter of that to eat.

Like a siren, Domestic Hunger lures.

Packaged in a display box, Domestic Hunger also has two options for installation – hanging or wall mounted. Exclusive to black.kidrobot.com, Kidrobot retail stores and select retailers worldwide.

Derrick the Death Fin

Very proud of Ronzo & the team for completing and releasing a highly original game for the Playstation Network. All character & level design was overseen by Ronzo and Irieman (UKAdapta) made the 'making of' video for it! The official game description: 

"It’s a fast-paced arcade action title set in a unique aquatic world made entirely out of paper & card. In the game Derrick rampages around the globe munching on paper creatures and destroying everything he sees under the guise of avenging the death of his parents..."

Edge House Architecture

"Bulgarian firm STARH stanislavov architects have completed the plans for the 'edge house,' a single family dwelling found in the densely vegetated suburbia of varna, next to the sea. the residence's peculiar plan, reminiscent of a conch shell, ends in a southern-facing full-height curtain wall orienting all programmatic elements towards the ocean. a cast-in-place concrete shear-wall system frames vertical glazing along the convex sawtooth element of the floor plan, with a deep overhang over the main transparent facade, that helps control solar gain along with the surrounding trees."
