Rustic Computer Brush Gets to the Root of Your Grimy Gadgets

GeekSugar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:30:28 -0800

Blame Apple for the profusion of roundish, white space-looking accessories - because of them I was struck by how "unusual" this Computer Brush ($32) looks, even though it really resembles traditional house-cleaning supplies.

One side of the bristles is stiff to get out crumbs and other ucky crap from your keyboard; the other side is soft, antistatic goat hair to dedustify your monitor. The promise of cleanliness is what piques my interest, but to be honest, it's the back-to-basics styling that has me sold.

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? The Mouse vs. The Brush

GeekSugar — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 14:30:40 -0800

The Mouse vs. The Brush project stems from two artists (Ben The Illustrator and Lou Pimentel) going head to head using different techniques. One artist uses his mouse and any computer software to create his art piece and the other artist uses his paint brush and any other medium to create his art piece. What results are two pieces of competitive and inspired geek art.

The above piece was created by Ben The Illustrator, who is a London based designer and illustrator. Ben’s work stands out because of his great use of color and wonderful designs. He is apparently the first artist to use a mouse in the new UrbanRetro ‘The Mouse vs. The Brush’ Project.
