Sorry, sorry, sorry, it’s been a few weeks. But here is an incredible list of stuffff from the virtual (and real) world. And! If you have something interesting you want me to link to, send it to me on Twitter.

1. How about an olive for your last supper

One of my dad’s favorite questions for a new friend is now quite literal (and rather surprising, yeah?). Photographer James Reynold’s “Last Suppers” series documents former Death Row prisoners’ requests for their last meal before execution. Also, check out his Far Foods series.

2. He was a street kid too

Photographer Haran Kumar’s photos of street kids in New Delhi tell a different story: an autobiography. Luckily an aid organization Salaam Baalak Trust gave him another chance at school before he became part of Home/Live — a Dutch project that gives homeless kids around the world cameras.

3. Good design with great intention

Buy this shirt for 20 bones and plant, maintain, and protect 20 trees. Zing!: 100% of the proceeds from your purchase just lowered your carbon footprint, improved air quality and reduced your utility bill. (via Swiss Miss)

4. Art Taaaaalk

Tell others about your art through video, or hear from some of the big artists…no art degree required to get in and watch. And this guy, Siquieros, used to be my printmaking teacher!

5. Making lemonade with unemployment

New documentary “Lemonade” tells the story of creative people losing their jobs and having to get creative in a new type of way….”I got laid off and changed my gender.” Check out the trailer here.

6. What’s Tappening?

New campaign in NYC is asking you to start some lies about bottled waters. My favorite: “Bottled Water: 98% melted ice caps, 2% polar bear tears.” Start your own lie here. (via Anti-Advertising Agency)
