Just what the Doktor ordered

Check out these amazing sculptures from Doktor A.  I love the steampunkyness to them, obviously, but I really love how unique and full of character they are. 
This is Amnesia Primm.  The name just fits her exactly, right? 
This one is Arbuthnot Wince, the Poisoner.  Just look at that little bottle of poison hidden inside his tummy.  Just look at it!  Also, how cool is Arbuthnot as a name? 

And I just love this one.  A tiny octopus riding a bigger octopus.  Awesome.  And of course he needs a little umbrella and top hat.  So cute.

If you have time you should definitely check out the links for each character, and then visit the site.  Everything is so fully imagined, and all of the characters are so fully realized, it's amazing.  If these little guys don't get their own movie some day, I am going to be extremely disappointed.  Make it happen, Hollywood!

Stay tuned!

I want to go to there.

Check out this awesome office I found, designed by an architectural firm called "Because We Can". I don't know how much actual work gets done here, seeing as how there are about 5 lounge rooms to every desk as well as a fully stocked bar, but even so the concept of the thing is wonderful. Behold:

Each employee has a custom made desk. Now I know it doesn't leave a lot of room for clutter, something I am very prone to, but I would take any one of these in a heartbeat.
This is a secret room hidden behind a bookcase. Probably a lounge room of some sort.

That's right, a frakking POOL TABLE. At work.
And I guess this is a loungy area? I have a feeling that whatever these people do it isn't testing Guitar Hero, so I'm guessing this is another break space. But come on, who wouldn't want to sit and watch TV on a giant octopus?
If you want to check out the rest of the pictures just click here. The architectural firm who did this has done some other work too, but nothing this awesome. This just blows me away.
