6 Music to be axed? | BBC report

The BBC is refusing to comment on reports it plans to close two radio stations and scale back its web presence to make £600m in savings.

BBC Asian Network and 6 Music will be closed under the proposals, according to a report in The Times.

The Times claims the measures are part of a plan, due to be made public next month, to reduce the BBC's services and focus on quality over quantity. A spokeswoman for the corporation said she would not comment on "speculation".

The Times claims the report is currently being considered by the BBC Trust, the corporation's governing body. It allegedly involves a wide-ranging series of cuts that will make £600m available for higher quality programming.

This wonderful piece of plastic sculpture isn’t just a Polaroid Land Camera. Take a closer look and you’ll see that it is a Polaroid Land Camera made from Lego. To see just how good it is, below is the original.

Inflatables | Miami

I'm not entirely sure what this is all about but I like it. Great big inflatables in Miami. It would really put a smile on my face if I saw these drifting overhead. Great.

Kevin Cyr | Camper Bike

Artist Kevin Cyr built this pedal-powered camper for one in April 2008. The camper sits on a modified bike frame with two back wheels and one up front. The rider sits on the bike and can pedal around, moving the camper from place to place. Inside, the camper features all the amenities needed in a small and compact envelope. The sculptural piece also became a subject in many of Cyr’s paintings. The design is perfect for a solo holiday and will definitely turn some heads along the way.

Andy Gilmore | Artist

Take a look at these incredible abstract and retroesque pieces by designer and illustrator Andy Gilmore. Born, raised and based in Rochester, New York, Gilmore applies the understanding of one practice with another - applying the proportions of harmony to form and colour - colours as chords and scales as tonal gradations, in order to create these geometric works of art.

His clients include the New York Times, FourSquare Outwear, Seed Magazine and the Webby Awards. If you love his work you can get your hands on a print (or even a t-shirt) over at Etsy.
