Photographer Matthew Brodie is a solid brand. You’ve never heard of him but you love what he does. Most importantly, you’ve never “heard him” and you love it.

He is a great brand designer, he’s does his stuff and let others do the talking. He is an artist of seduction and he’s doing marketing to narcissists, in terms of quiet genius Seth Godin.

The self-absorbed are always in the market for a louder microphone and a shinier mirror.

It turns out that the best way to appear interesting to someone who cares a lot about himself is to be interested.

And if you don’t see that, if you’re not so interested in what others are thinking about, it might be because the best way to market to you is to offer you a shinier mirror and a louder microphone…

To cure narcissism is hard and you can make it painful. But today’s daily tune up by kabbalist Yehuda Berg can help a lot.

Take the spiritual work you do in silence. Silence is what magnifies the noise you do in the world.

Toma en cuenta el trabajo espiritual que haces en silencio. El silencio es lo que magnifica el ruido que haces en el mundo.

The Magic Cube/Rubik’s Cube real genius is making you get in touch with your frustration. If you make something out of it or not, that’s the best psychoanalysis you can get. That’s why we leave you this video tutorial.

The toy was created in 1980 by a Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture named Ernő Rubik. So now, you have a colorful reason to visit Budapest, dive into romanesque art and follow the Danube river in your way to countries like Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine and Romania. To catch the spirit of Hungary, travel to the music of Franz Liszt. This musician and teacher made possible modern art by influencing and sponsoring the most forward-looking 19th-century composers and by anticipating some 20th-century ideas and trends.

In Hungary we start the Ó Design Tour via googlemaps. Can’t wait to take a real look at the Art Nouveau design of Gellért Baths, the magnificence of the Museum of Fine Arts and hang out between fallen communist leaders at Memento Park. If you’re a bit like us, highlight Hungary in your map and enjoy some free Hungarian lessons via wikibooks.

Way back in in 1779, French artist Pierre Julien created this powerful sculpture titled Gladiateur Mourant (Dying Gladiator). Fast forward a couple of centuries later and photographer Yvan Lemur took this dramatic photo of the marble statue at the Louvre in Paris. His lighting and composition make this shot extraordinary!

www.photoshopchallenge.com. A ridiculous cut and paste

The girl from I love Hotdogs and her friend Alex created Photoshop Challenge as a site where creatives could test their cut and paste…ridiculous things.

They took the advise of turning your dreams into projects. Last Friday they didn’t wanted to work and came up with a new side project.

Claps!
