Cool Globes is a non-profit organization aimed at raising awareness for global warming and to inspire solutions for a community. “Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” is an event taking place from October 8th, 2009 - December 31st, 2009 at Discovery Green in Houston. Matt Binns is the sculptor behind the globes, which were then handed down to the participants to be used as a canvas. Each globe is five feet in diameter, seven-and-one-half feet tall and weighs 2,300 pounds. Because we are all about design in all forms of media, we decided to check out some amazing work done on these globes.
Wish you could be a super hero? So do we my friend. What probably is the closest we all have came to that is maybe through a comic book. From DC to Marvel, there is always a super hero that one of us can relate to or get excited about. Maybe it’s the supernatural powers that Superman possesses, or the uncanny agility and intellect that a caped crusader has the knowledge of (ahem ahem Batman). Whatever the case may be, there is super hero for all of us.
