Keith Haring’s pop art celebrated in today’s Google Doodle
Keith Haring — whose iconic cartoons came to define New York’s art scene in the 1980s — got his own Google Doodle today.

Haring was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, May 4, 1958 — 54 years ago today. He died in 1990 from complications due to AIDS. He was 31 years old.

His drawings, with their bold lines and bright colours, were “an expression of the optimistic indulgence of this period,” art historian Natalie E. Phillips wrote, “a representation of the New York club scene as well as homoerotic currents, and a visual tool for the campaign against AIDS.”

Seems like IKEA are really shaking things up this year. In addition to the previously announced TV set, they’re also going to release a digital camera made of cardboard called Knäppa (“Snap”). It’ll hold 40 photographs at a time and plugs directly into your USB port. While it’s not the prettiest camera the world has ever seen, I do love the idea of a screen-less digital camera that brings people back to the wait-and-see days of film.

Then you have to build your photo.
