An Ode to Creative Work

Behance Creative Network released An Ode to Creative Work as a visual statement of all designers and artistic persons.

"Creative work is a labor of love. All too often, we celebrate creation and overlook the difficult and emotional labor behind the scenes. Anyone who creates for a living knows all too well the doubts and barriers - both within us and around us - that challenge us every day. From the very beginning, our team at Behance has sought to discuss and support the "work" part of the creative world - the "99% perspiration" - that goes into making ideas happen."

Steve Jobs’ yacht Venus by Phillip Starck

Around this time last year, it was revealed that Steve Jobs had been designing his very own luxury yacht before his death. Jobs had been collaborating with renowned French designer Philippe Starck on the project. On one hand all this news has a taste of bitterness, on the other we'd liked Jobs to overcome all that storms around Apple nowadays right on this beautiful yacht.
