Beware! The insects will spy on you!

I just spotted this new thing being shared on Facebook, and had to search it up.


Apparantly someone has created an insect spy drone, and the United States Government are now testing it out. Further it is described to be able to
"...be flown overhead to conduct audio and video surveillance. They can also land on a human being as if it were a mosquito. It can then take a clandestine DNA confiscation from the human source. Some speculate it may even be able to implant a chip into the skin. Although that would be difficult to do without the source knowing."

If this "bug" is "real" I am very impressed with the technology. And it looks amazing! On the other hand I am also very frightened of what this thing can do and how it can be misused by the "wrong people". I already hate mosquitos (I believe I'm not the only one), and this thing makes me even more eager to smash every mosquito, or mosquito-like-creature. Paranoid? Me? Not at all..

Mehmet Ali Uysal

 




"Turkish artist Mehmet Ali Uysal puts a new spin on man’s relationship with nature with his giant wooden clothes peg in Chaudfontaine Park in Belgium." - sourced from Saatchi Gallery's  facebook page .

Ceci n'est pas un moustache

It is a great, playful, humoristic packaging design that suits the product so well. And great to see designers using their illustration skills too sometimes.





"This humoristic packaging offers the function of assembling two products (two paintbrushes) together with only one cardboard printed on both sides. One paintbrush is a big one and the other is a small one for finishing touches. Once it’s folded, the package has two possibilities: 1. Protecting paintbrushes while you carry them on. 2. Support paintbrushes when it’s filled with paint. Each paintbrush has been named and linked to a size number to identify them. The natural hairs of some paintbrush have been dyed. A paintbrush wall support is offered after you bought the product in order to keep you workspace clean and organized."
