“World-renowned illustrator Noma Bar has made a career out of using negative space to its fullest potential—usually conjuring up latent (or overt) associations with his subjects. In his second book, ‘Negative Space’, Noma Bar (who has designed over 500 covers for various publications including The New York Times, The New Yorker, Esquire, Time Out London, The Guardian, etc.) compiles his newest works, providing illustrated commentary on pop culture, political and social landscapes.” See more of his work after the jump.

“Leica, the brand famous for their cameras, is introducing a new gadget to help golfers get “closest to the pin”. A staple of charity golf tournaments, corporate outings and amateur golf tourneys; “closest to the pin” is a contest that involves getting tee shots that make it on the green the closest distance to the flagstick. The Pinmaster Rangefinder is a tool that gives golfers the upper hand by measuring the exact distance to the pin. With a range of up to 820 yards, all the user needs to do is aim the Pinmaster’s eye-safe laser beam at the pin. It also features a 7x magnification and a large field view of 347 feet at a distance of 1,000 yards (ideal for playing peeping tom).” (via SwipeLife)

“This is Dirk Auer. He’s on a mission to do crazy things on in-line skates, and his latest stunt involved modding his blades and rocketing down the Mammoth rollercoaster in Stuttgart. Auer, whose leg muscles and courage must be hewn from a three-century-old oak, covered 860 meters in 60 seconds, reaching 56 mph on his 16-wheeler skates, which took him 110 hours to make.”
Says the 36-year-old: “The roller caster is wooden and so unlike rides made from iron and steel there was always a chance of the odd nail or screw that would not be entirely flat. If the skates were to catch a stray nail then I could have fallen and I would almost certainly have died.”
