Have you ever wondered, “what would it be like if a house were dreaming”? Well, it’s your lucky day, because someone has documented the answer. This fantastic production by Urban Screen takes you into a fantasy world, where architecture meets humanity and dreams meet reality. Watch the video, and prepare to be amazed.

Sure, it’s a little impulsive – but I give Miss Emily serious props. This billboard needs no further explanation. Steven, whatever you did, I hope you regret it now!

3. Bela Bordosi

This has got to be my favorite discovery of the week – “A” is definitely for awesome. Austrian Bela Borsodi does still life photography like no other artist of his time. Playing with our perception, he mixes art and fashion photography, giving each of his editorial prints some serious personality. Bordosi’s work is incredible. Check out the rest of his portfolio, and see for yourself.

4. 100 Photographs Drawn With Ballpoint Pen

This one comes to us from my old high school friend, Jason. These may look like pin-sharp photographs – but they are actually drawings done with ballpoint pen. These stunning pieces were done by budding star Juan Francisco Casas. He uses up to four 14p ballpoint pens per canvas. This is truly some outstanding work!

I love animals – stick them in an ad, and you’ve got me hooked. OutlawDesignBlog has put together a great collection of advertisements, featuring little known superstars of the animal kingdom. I thought this was a great idea. Just look at this donkey – who wouldn’t want to buy an ad from him?
