Mihoko Ogaki’s sculpture installations are a poetic interpretation of Carl Sagan’s assertion that we’re all made of star stuff. She sculpts dead and dying figures that beam pinpoints of light from the inside, turning them into the origins of glorious galaxies at the moment of death.
Ogaki’s work often reflects a fascination with both the beginning and the end of human life, portraying it in ways that attract our fascination with moments in human development we sometimes push from our consciousness. Her dying figures are sometimes distressing and sometimes meditative, but when you turn off the lights, the LEDs surround the viewer with a brilliant reminder that so much exists in the universe beyond that single human life.

WEB COMICS!!! - Off Book
The internet has given birth to yet another new medium: web comics. Moving beyond the restrictions of print, web comic artists interact directly with audiences who share their own unique worldview, and create stories that are often embedded in innovative formats only possible online. Sometimes funny, sometimes personal, and almost always weird, web comic creators have taken the comic strip form to new, mature, and artistic heights.

Do Knock-Offs Prove the Value of a Brand? - Idea Channel
Living in the consumer culture that we do, we’ve learned that specific brands can carry very different meanings and values. We’re willing to pay hundreds or thousands more for a specific brand name item, but sometimes it can be tempting to go the way of the knock-off for a fraction of the price. The counterfeit industry is huge and isn’t going anywhere, and companies spend huge amounts to dissuade people from buying “fakes”. But are knock-offs REALLY a negative for the brand?
