You might have noticed a change to CMYBacon: an advertisement on the left hand side. I’m happy to announce that I was recently invited to join Carbon Ads. Carbon is a premium, invite-only ad network that connects creative-minded websites with relevant, hand picked advertisers. But here’s what makes Carbon really cool: Each site in their network only displays one unobtrusive, rotating ad. No popups or hideous mosaics of irrelevant ads here.
Carbon is fairly new but already has quite a few amazing blogs and design sites in its network (ones that I am honored to be placed alongside of). Take a look at the Design Circle at Carbon to see the other sites. And most importantly, be sure to check out our great advertisers!
Dumb Eyes, a Seattle-based design studio, made this cool typographic poster for the First Thursday Art Walk in Seattle’s Pioneer Square neighborhood. Take a look at Dumb Eye’s Flickr page to see more of their work.

Ok so this rug isn’t actually made from the cross-section of a giant log, but it sure looks like it. The Woody Wood Rug, as it’s called by it’s Dutch creator, Yvette Laduk, is a highly durable carpet which has edges that have been cut, burnt and fixed to resemble tree bark. The rug can also be used as a cool wall hanging. I want it!

Naoko Ito’s Urban Nature series features segmented branches in jars displayed in such a way that the it looks like the branch was never cut into pieces.
Michael Savona, a Chicago-based designer, has made these charming and hilarious traffic cones that are shaped like geese. They blend in well with regular orange cones but they’re just odd enough to make a passerby take a second look.
