Designboom.com Competition of the Day: Reinventing the Bic Pen









"...in some instances the ballpoint pen has been used
for much more than the initial scribbling-down of an idea.
the 'bic pen' has seen numerous incarnations in
recent years - in more than one of designboom's competitions,
participants have decided to transform the iconic writer"

Non-Profit Art of the Day:




"It is a new turn on "street art." Financially supported by The Ontario Trillum Foundation and Arts in the Hood/To Live with Culture, AOTM ... is planning to wrap a fleet of vehicles (fifteen in total, from the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors) in art instead of the advertising with which they'd commonly be festooned. The concept is to showcase more of the talents of the arts community and engage people in their own neighbourhoods."
