The Squid Stories image of the day #12.

Sometimes an idea can be really simple. Just right, and than it’s a question of ‘just do it’ and bring it on the market. That’s what two Italian artists did when asked to think about a new ‘cooking ritual’ idea. They called their project “I Tradizionali” and I discovered it recently surfing. A perfect item to be one of the ‘images of the day’. I Tradizionali are illustrated tattoo-recipes which can be applied on one’s forearm. Not only does the tattoo emphasize the common gesture of “rolling-up one’s sleeves” before cooking, but it also helps the cook to remember the order in which the recipe is to be prepared. The collection is divided into different thematic packages. Each of them includes 4 recipes which provide a list of the ingredients and the amount of each ingredient needed for the recipe.

My ‚image of the day’ is a series of ‚images of the day’ by Mike Mellia. Mike also posts each day a picture of himself in a series that has the name „ A selfie a day keeps the doctor away’. Ah, a series of selfies’ you think. Right. You could call them selfies, but in the old days they were called graciously ‚Self portraits’. Mike has humor and this shows in the titles he gives his work. What to think about: „That one time my wife cropped my picture” or „That one time I saw who shot JFK”, or this one: „That one time I visited a Dutch astronomer”? And it goes on.
