We love the nonsense and hence the sense of an object demonstrated by Mathias Nösel, a young art director from Germany. Together with friends they gave a new life to old grandpa's fan and breathe a new function of a pencil sharpener in it. Simple, clean and fun idea makes our day.

Gifted artist Von vanishes the border between digital and tradition art being inspired by nature and popular culture. Recently he roll out "Semblance - Collectors Edition Box Set" series of artworks
"As an artist, Von's art marries all that is conceptually abstract and evident of its subject matter, depicting his surrealist take on portraiture. It is this approach which has seen Von's work praised by many, such as renowned photographer and publisher, Rankin, who has collaborated with the artist for his new magazine, The Hunger. Following on from his legacy as the co-founder of Dazed & Confused, Rankin featured ten pieces courtesy of Von for the launch of the magazine's first issue. To support the collaboration, a short video featuring Von was made which you can watch here"
