Wolfbite.
“Wolfbite is the slightly wonkey nail in the plasterboard wall on which to hang the collaborative illustrations we create.”
Web designer and illustrator Daniel J Diggle and fellow illustrator Jessica Allan created Wolfbite as a little home to their creative collaborations and as a place to display future collab’s with other artists too.

A Hoberman sphere as an icosidodecahedron
In geometry, an icosidodecahedron is a polyhedron with twenty triangular faces and twelve pentagonal faces. An icosidodecahedron has 30 identical vertices, with two triangles and two pentagons meeting at each, and 60 identical edges, each separating a triangle from a pentagon. As such it is one of the Archimedean solids and more particularly, a quasiregular polyhedron.
An icosidodecahedron has icosahedral symmetry, and its first stellation is the compound of a dodecahedron and its dual icosahedron, with the vertices of the icosahedron located at the midpoints of the edges of either. Convenient Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of an icosidodecahedron with unit edges are given by the cyclic permutations of (0,0,±τ), (±1/2, ±τ/2, ±(1+τ)/2), where τ is the golden ratio, (1+√5)/2. Its dual polyhedron is the rhombic triacontahedron. An icosidodecahedron can be split along several planes to form pentagonal rotundae, which belong among the Johnson solids.
In the standard nomenclature used for the Johnson solids, an icosidodecahedron would be called a pentagonal gyrobirotunda.

The icosidodecahedron is a rectified dodecahedron and also a rectified icosahedron, existing as the full-edge truncation between these regular solids.
The Icosidodecahedron contains 12 pentagons of the dodecahedron and 20 triangles of the icosahedron:

It is also related to the Johnson solid called a pentagonal orthobirotunda created by two pentagonal rotunda connected as mirror images.

Eight uniform star polyhedra share the same vertex arrangement. Of these, two also share the same edge arrangement: the small icosihemidodecahedron (having the triangular faces in common), and the small dodecahemidodecahedron (having the pentagonal faces in common). The vertex arrangement is also shared with the compounds of five octahedra and of five tetrahemihexahedra.

A Boy In Mid Air is an online visual repository curated by yours truly. A collective catalogue of images, ideas, & beauty that moves me and hopefully you.
The image above is from ever-so fantastic Christopher Gray of We Shall See.
I’ve launched my site recently, utilising an interesting open source framework which fetches image and information from Flickr based on what I’ve uploaded to a set in my stream. The site itself is showcasing a good mix of personal, education and commercial related work. Enjoy browsing.
Hola Amigos del KDU
Estoy feliz de tener online mi nuevo Website, aqui pueden ver mis ultimos trabajos.
Cheers from Buenos Aires

Bio-Based Foams
FEATURE, PLASTIC— BY BLAINE BROWNELL ON JULY 16, 2010 AT 9:00 AM
The Center for Composite Materials has synthesized flexible/rigid polyurethane foams from soybean oil polyols. The advantage of these foams is that they can replace petroleum-based materials (synthetic polyols) and can be used for many applications. The morphology of the foams can be controlled by several factors: the type and functionality of the soybean oil polyols, the type of curing agents, the amount of water, and the amount of catalyst. Both flexible and rigid foams can be developed from vegetable oils by implementing different processes. The biocontent of the foams varies from 33 to 96 weight percent. The use of this biodegradable, locally harvested, and renewable source has economic and environmental advantages that make it an attractive alternative to petroleum-based materials.

Desde Málaga se divisa el aterrizaje en todos los puntos Staf de la península del número más caluroso del año, el de verano… El de 2010… La Staf 44. Este número queremos agradecer especialmente la colaboración desinteresada por parte del fotógrafo y director de cinePatrick Trefz. Gracias a él, hemos podido hacer entrevistas tan chulas como las realizadas al artista australiano Andrew Kidmany la exquisita editorial T.Alder Books. Además podras disfrutar de otros reportajes y entrevistas como: Geoff McFetrige, con esa peacho de portada que nos ha hecho que quita el sentio… (Gracias Geoff), el genial ilustrador de portadas Dan Seagrave, la discográfica malagueña Alone Records, la cual cumple diez años, el festival Roadburn, los madrileños Rosvita y Costa, el documental Blood Into Wine… Fiera,Will Barras, Jay Ryan… Y muchas sorpresas más… ¡Que ustedes lo disfruten con salud!
