Nothing is original.

Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination.
Devour old films, new films, music, book, paintings, photographers, poems,
dreams, random conversation, architecture, bridges, street signs,
trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows.
Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul.
If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.
Authenticity is invaluable, originalities is non-existent.
And don’t bother concealing your thievery – celebrate it if you feel like it.
“It’s not where you take things from, it’s where you take them to.”

When Talton set out to circumvent the U.S. Treasury’s security measures, he had no experience in counterfeiting, printing, or graphic design, and he didn’t even own a computer. His first attempts were made with a Hewlett-Packard all-in-one ink-jet printer/scanner/fax/copier, which could be picked up at the time for less than $150. Early experiments, printed on regular copy paper, were fuzzy, so he cleaned up the original image on a computer. But there was a problem, Talton says: “It wouldn’t take the mark.” Counterfeit-detection pens mark yellow on genuine currency but brown or black on fake. Talton didn’t know why. At first he thought the Treasury treated the paper, so he experimented with chemicals he found at the body shop and even tried dipping his notes in fabric softener. Nothing worked. Frustrated, he began taking a detection pen everywhere he went, trying it on whatever paper he came across. He was about to give up when one day, sitting on the toilet, he found himself staring at the roll of tissue beside him. He took out the pen: The mark showed up yellow. Talton discovered that toilet paper, the pages of Bibles and dictionaries, and newsprint are all made from the same kind of recycled paper pulp, and all take the mark. Newsprint is strong, and it has an additional advantage for the large-scale buyer: “Newsprint is real cheap,” Talton says.

This one I had to try out, Polymorph. A new generation of commercial plastics with unusual properties. When submerged in water heated around 60˚ it turns from opaque to clear and becomes workable. Upon cooling down it returns to a strong ridged plastic. This process can be repeated and reheated over and over again. A very cool product with many great uses. I just couldn’t come up with a single one? So, when all else fails make an ash tray!

Polymorph, 1kg = $69.95
