Putting the 'happy' back into content
One of those freaks of nature that produce amazing images.
Hundreds and hundreds of starfish have washed up on Budleigh Salterton beach in Devon – a town previously best known for being the home of Muffin the Mule’s creator and Sue Lawley!
At some point, we’ve all had a cuppa from a burger van out of a styrofoam cup and then chucked it in the bin, convinced that we’d finished with it.
Not boyobsolete. He takes the humble coffee cup and turns it into a work of art.
Using just a ‘sharpie’ to use the American word, his imagination and a cup, he produces amazing things.
Admittedly, upwards of $200 is pretty steep for something that, unadorned, we’d throw away without a second’s thought, but then art is worth what people will pay for it.

It had to happen eventually – the ultimate US icon of Barbie has teamed up with the current TV perfection that is Mad Men.
But these are no ordinary Barbie and Ken dolls that you will be buying for your kids to play doctors and nurses with.
Oh no, Mattel proudly calls them their Barbie Fashion Model Collection, a premium-price collectors’ series for adults. There will be between 7-10k models made and they could be yours for a mere $74.95 each.
They’re not planned for release till July, so you’ve got a bit of time to save up!
Personally, if I was Christina Hendricks (aka Joan Holloway), I’d be a bit miffed that I’d been reduced in size. Her doll looks positively waif-like, while Don Draper doesn’t cut quite the same dash as ‘Ken’, as he does in the actual show.
