Hated But Still Art Worthy

A painting by Adolf Hitler sold for almost $15,000 (click read more)







The watercolor paintings was some of the 15 items of Hitler's art being sold at a recent auction house Mullock's of Shropshire. Together, the artworks by the Nazi leader fetched almost $120,000! which was much higher than expected. The auction also includes dozens of items related to Hitler's time as leader of Nazi Germany -- including documents from concentration camps where those deemed "undesirable" by the Nazis were imprisoned, sterilized and murdered. It's kind of hard to understand why art collectors would purchase these paintings from a man whose views were skewed and unreasonable, but then again he is part of history as an influential NAZI leader.

Besides his own Spurs color-way of black/ white Nike has released the Nike Zoom Flight Club in various other color-ways. To me it looks fairly similar to the Nike Zoom Flight 89. The Zoom Flight Club features an almost seamless, perforated upper accented by a distinct Swoosh along the center, an accented toe-box and a zipper covering the laces which is topped off by a Velcro strap. Now Tony Parker has everything a 'desperate housewife,' three NBA Championship rings, and a his own signature shoe.

Waterslide Sink

The Abisko Washbasin from Eumar is a sculptural sink to add 'fun' in your bathroom (click read more)








The Abisko washbasin captures the freshness of mountain streams as water cascades down the length of the sink to slip away down a discreet floor-level grill. This is what designers Johan Kauppi and Lars Sundström wanted to capture. I really like this concept as it does not lean towards the typical cylindrical shape sink. If anyone had this in there home I'm pretty sure it'll add some uniqueness that no other house has.
