Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
Rosemarie Fiore has been featured on DYH before with her Arcade Art, but she continues to impress with this series called Firework Drawing. By exploding and containing live fireworks on large sheets of paper, the result is “bursts of saturated color that overlapped and collaged into abstract compositions”. It’s like pyromania meets Picasso, and it’s beautiful.

Nike pays homage to its revolutionary Air cushion with the Nike Air Book. The book, available only in Japanese (perfect for the pretentious sneakerphile), even includes its own authentic Air Max ’95 air chamber. If that doesn’t satisfy your Air urge, nothing will.

If you’re interested in making your own sushi, or just want to brush up on your skills, The Complete Book of Sushi is “perfect for not only the sushi newcomer, but also as a reference book for the sushi lover”. Not only are the traditional recipes featured, but also information on sushi customs, sushi rolling, and recipes for the soups and sauces that traditionally accompany the meal. If you’re a DIY chef, then this book is for you.

Carbon Copies is a somewhat morbid yet somewhat touching idea. After cremation, a large supply of pencils is made from a loved one’s ashes. These pencils can then be used to write and draw, creating work that serves as a memorial to the deceased, and that quite literally had a life of its own before hitting the page.

Cole Haan makes ordinary looking women’s shoes, but it’s what’s inside that counts. In collaboration with Nike Lab, each shoe contains Nike Air cushioning to keep your feet from complaining. If only Reebok made pumps with a pump, the world would be a better and more complete place.
Stupidiotic wants to make sure you’re safe on the road, so they’re going to be carrying a set of Missile Balloons that you can attach to your car to make sure other drivers never take their eyes off of you. The Mylar balloons can be filled with helium, and at speed, will make it look like you’re trying to out drive a missile attack. Just make sure to have your birth certificate on hand for when the cop inevitably pulls you over and questions your motives, because you don’t want to be the one responsible for the terror level orange alert.
On its own, the Pontiac Fiero gets no respect, but thanks to its mid engine design and somewhat simple (and Ferrari like) styling, the Fiero has always served as the perfect blank canvas for the tuner looking to modify, create, and most importantly, copy. Phoenix International Sport Automobiles (PISA) is a prime example of this copy culture, giving their customers the ability to “build a custom, exotic car for a reasonable price”.
Kits include the Artero, a Lamborghini influenced design that features “aggressive air scoops, vents and grills”, and the Jalapeño, an off road design that features a lifted suspension and heavily modified and Jeep influenced body panels. If you’re going to drive a Fiero, you might as well give PISA a call, because nothing demands respect like a fiberglass Ferrari.

In-N-Out Burger might not keep their secret menu very secret (it’s posted on their web site), but other fast food joints aren’t as forthcoming with what you can order if you just know how. For example, Jamba Juice apparently has an entire menu of “unhealthy” smoothies with names like Sourpatch Kid, Andres’ Surprise, and Lemonade Lightnin’. Though you might get a few blank stares from a few uneducated cashiers, if you enjoy ordering the unorderable, check out the list. You’ll never look at fast food the same way again.
BaldGuy Greeting Cards take out all of the sappiness that is normally associated with giving someone a card, and replace it instead with tell it like it is ness. It’s not like you really meant what was inside Hallmark cards anyways, so why pretend?
