Flowerella by Kenny Scharf




Ooh...me love this Kenny Scarf vase! This very cool resin sculptural flower-holder is about 12” h x 9” l x 8” w and retails for US$300.00. It is available at Cerealart and it's part of an edition of 250 units - très collectable!
I've been a fan of Kenny Scharf's work since the mid-80's and proudly own a copy of The B-52's 1986 album (in vinyl) "Bouncing Off The Satelites" - artwork by "you guess who" - the closest I will ever get to one of his original oeuvres...

Why Not? Deep Sea Divers & Cosmonauts











I love the retro feel of these oxygen domes and bubble helmets, though I have no auto-erotic asphyxiation fetishes at all. It's funny how once I start collecting random images all of a sudden I keep running into related pictures every where I visit online. I like to call these little groups Theme & Variation and have done a few post about it here on Little-Pumpkins. Any suggestions?

Eboy Wrapping Paper @ Nineteenseventythree









My fellow blogger pal Deemer at Paki Pop Tart sent me this really cool link that he thought I would enjoy and he was so right!
UK-based design company Nineteenseventythree sells the most amazing wrapping paper and gift cards that I have seen in a long time, through collaborations with up-to-the-minute artists and illustrators. They are also a "green company" using recycled papers and aiding in reforestation programs, that adds many points in my book.
One of my favorite designs was Eboy's printed wrapping papers that are good enough to frame in my opinion. They feature really cool pixellated colorful cityscapes and funky characters, retailing for £1.80 per silk paper sheet. Love it!

Cool iPhone GelaSkins










I had done a previous post on laptop Gelaskins and just found the same silicon adhesive covers for iPhones too. I really think they are grand and a great way to customize your personal gadgets. They retail for £9.95 each and available at Urban Retro.

Why not? Girls On Bikes











I went all ADD when looking up these images on Ffffound. I was just browsing around, no agenda, when this first image comes up and every time I click on it another related photo (or not) will come up. It's a fun hunt and I probably spent a good 20 minutes jumping from page to page. The results became my "Girls on Bikes" post, a mix of current and vintage images and illustrations with a hint of camp, a dash of nostalgia and a cup full of cool. Enjoy!

Whether you're a Disney fan or are just looking for some cool new stuff to add to your tiki-themed bar, you can't go wrong with these Limited Edition Enchanted Tiki Room 45th Anniversary Collectibles ($20-$150). Made in limited runs for the classic Disneyland attraction's 45th birthday, they will be available exclusively at the park on Sunday, June 22.
