Change The Thought’s posters are colorful, inspiring, retro-influenced, and insanely well-designed. They print t-shirts as well, but it seems their skills really shine in the stiff paper department. My favorite has got to be this beautiful print (pictured below) of Buckminster Fuller the father of the geodesic dome, Disney’s second-most iconic landmark and the sphere for which Montreal’s Biosphère is named and housed inside. They’re also releasing a gorgeous Obama print this coming month.

Prada Marfa, a faux fashion boutique on the outskirts of Valentine, Texas is not a boutique at all. Its walls and shelves may be decked out with high-end bags and shoes, but they will never meet a hopeful buyer. Prada Marfa is not a Prada store, but a sealed time capsule randomly placed along a lonely stretch of U.S. Highway 90 as if a mirage of consumerist America.
Scandanavian artists, Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset built the faux store in 2005 with partial funding from the Prada Foundation. The doors remained sealed and the product line hasn’t changed since the sculpture’s installation… in a way the sculpture itself is a mini museum for Prada’s 2005 bag and shoe lines. The minimalist Land Art sculpture by the duo known for their white cubing opened for your uninhibited window gawking on October 1st of 2005.
