YOU CANNES DO IT

So, abandonment issues are apparently a problem in the south of France. This bizarre street sign was spotted by @davidondemand (Perezident on Instagram) while in Cannes, France for the grandaddy of advertising award shows, the Cannes Lions.

STEPHEN COLBERT CAN ADD AWESOME COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER TO HIS RESUME

Northwestern's most famous alum, Stephen Colbert, returns to campus and delivers one of the greatest graduation speeches. Of. All. Time. It's a great rebound for a school trying to put their f&xk saw past behind them. Good luck, Northwestern Wildcats class of 2011.

Every college institution take note. This is how you inspire your graduates, with someone inspiring— intellectually and humanly.  I don't even remember mine. I think it was a state senator. Needless to say, it was not this. Via Open Culture

1,000 SPACE INVADERS SET FOR PARIS INVASION

Space Invader is a sneaky dude. This video for his latest exhibition (where 1,000 pieces will be on display) is hilarious in its law skirting, in-your-face, "try again next time" brevity. Great teaser and footage of the mysterious Invader at work. The music is a killer and sinister compliment. If you know the artist who created the music, please leave a comment.

Show opens June 7th at la galerie Le Feuvre / Paris Via Wooster Collective

NEW FAILE PUZZLE BOXES MAKE FOR ONE HELL OF A STREET ART FANTASY

Not only do New York's art collective Faile capture the essence of nostalgia in these retro inspired puzzle boxes, they've created something that goes beyond the physical and into the digital era with their wicked six sided art puzzles that you can also play for free on your iPhone or iPad.

You can download the iPhone/Pad app through iTunes. Just search 'Faile Puzzle Boxes.' And, since each puzzle is six-sided, that means there are six different puzzles altogether in each box. Pretty rad. Here's some shots from their website. You can check out more or buy one at failepuzzleboxes.com.
