Aliveasart updates will be on a short hiatus through the month of September, as we prepare for a move back to New York City. Enjoy these great links for the time being, and we’ll see you back here in a few weeks!

1. Maserati Garage Design Contest

Italian sports car manufacturer Maserati and Architectural Digest Magazine recently held a contest to design a dream garage for a Maserati. The winning design was by Holger Schubert from Los Angeles, who created a restrained minimalist environment that allowed one to focus on the car as a piece of art. Be sure to check out the rest of the contest entries – there are some super creative ones in the bunch, and I just loved them!
2. Coffee Mona Lisa

Props to the folks at Designer Depot for two great leads this week! This one goes out to all my fellow coffee fanatics out there. It took 3,604 cardboard cups and just the right amount of cream, sugar, and coffee to create this stunning montage of the Mona Lisa. As many of you know, we are huge fans of food art here at Aliveasart. This piece just takes the cake.
3. Human Canvas – Guido Daniele

First it was more food art, now it’s more body art. The folks at Bit Rebels recently featured this stunning collection of hand paintings by Guido Daniele, and I’ve been in awe of them ever since. I can’t imagine how much time and energy goes into creating one of these pieces. They are simply incredible – take a look at the rest!
4. Issey Miyake Sushi Campaign

One of my favorite foods just got a high fashion make-over in this Issey Miyake print campaign for Pleats Please. Miyake’s fabrics were masterfully folded to create a delicious and visually pleasing pun. This is such a fun idea – I am itching to see more out-of-the-box presentation like this from the fashion world.
5. Esther Coombs Flatware Designs

Esther Coombs is a British artist, who is known for her intricate drawings on vintage plates and cups. I thought these pieces were lovely – especially given the way Coombs’ line work juxtaposes the original designs on the dishes. In case you’re interested, you can see more of Coombs’ work on her Flickr page or her Etsy store. Enjoy them!
