Kevin Christy's work has been described as humorous, absurd, contemplative and effervescent.

German artist and designer Eike König has released a series of new knitted blankets that draw on his juxtapositions between pop cultural icons and whimsical wordplay.

Italy Bans Alfa Romeo From Using “Milano” Name for Latest Vehicle
Alfa Romeo, the Italian luxury car manufacturer and a subsidiary of Stellantis Europe, has recently been told by officials in the Italian government that it can not use the name "Milano" for its latest vehicle -- stating it's "banned by law," according to reports from the automaker.The name "Milano" was initially chosen to honor the city where Alfa Romeo was founded in 1910 and had quickly become a favorite among the public. This is not the first time Alfa Romeo has involved the public in naming one of its cars, a practice dating back to 1966 with the Spider 1600 "Duetto."In somewhat of a cheeky response to the situation, Jean-Philippe Imparato, the CEO of Alfa Romeo said that while they don't legally need to change the name, they decided to do so to maintain "positive emotion" and essenti...
