Someecards, the web 2.1 card company— the greatest thing since janky ass bluemountain greeting cards.

The most audacious cards on the AG Interactive sites are labeled “mature? and carry warnings that some users may find their content objectionable. One of them, a birthday card called “Lick the Batter? shows a man’s burly arms and bare torso. Chippendales-style music thumps in the background as he mixes a cake batter, which inevitably splatters onto his skin. [Via NY Times]

From the lovely folks at Hello Freaks design studio.

Every now and then when surfing along the hectic waves of the web you come across a site that stops you in your tracks and introduces you to something amazing quite by accident. Such a site is www.skaffs.com, home to the illustrative creations of Luke Feldman.

Feldman’s illustrations are created from the wonders of his imagination resulting from life experiences and, he jokes, a head injury he sustained as a child. Never knowing when he will be inspired Feldman carries a sketchpad with him at all times and is fascinated by “the idea of creating something from nothing?. His favourite artists include Salvador Dali, Max Ernst and MC Escher.

With a background in visual arts and multimedia Feldman has spent countless hours experimenting with different mediums, including 3D animations, but advises his passion is for Flash 2D animations. Feldman explains this is because 2D gives him the opportunity as a designer to create “professional animations for multiple platforms?, such as broadcast, the Internet and for mobile content.

Feldman advises that his work always starts off as a black and white pen sketch, and from there he will experiment and play around with the colour and design. This is done using a Wacom tablet and his “trusty old (Mac) G4?. The programs he uses include Flash, Illustrator and Photoshop, AfterFX and Maya. Feldman goes on to add that colours “are really important to me as they determine the emotion one can experience from viewing my art?.

Moving to the US for work opportunities, Feldman has now settled in San Francisco and is “currently working frantically? on a number of international projects including illustrations for magazine covers, articles, animations and for upcoming exhibitions in both Australia and the US. If that wasn’t enough, Feldman has just teamed up with a company called Pop Cling (www.popcling.com) to produce a vinyl adhesive line of illustrations for skateboard decks, which is being launched later this year.

Can someone buy me one of these for work?

It is a soft mobile phone concept. The phone is encased in a flexible plastic housing. A soft polymer insert is located between the microchip module and the casing. You can drop it, bend it, sit on it, toss it around, and give it to Naomi Campbell to throw at her assistant without detriment.

A flexible display (a 2,75-in. diagonal, a 433 × 266 pixels) and the keys are located on the surface. The display itself looks like paper, but the ink incorporated in it can change its position when affected by electric signals. This process called “electrowetting? is so quick that you can even display video. And it’s not a fairytale technology either. The display was developed by Robert Hayes and Johan Feenstra. They better patent that ASAP.
