Breathtaking Underwater Photos by Phoebe Rudomino

A photographer that I've been admiring the work of for some time now is Phoebe Rudomino. I first came across her majestic underwater stills after The Telegraph featured them in 2010. Phoebe is a commercial diver and underwater photographer based at the Underwater Stage at Pinewood Studios, the only facility of its kind in the world. She specializes in behind-the-scenes underwater stills and video for feature films, TV and commercials. Below you will find a small sample of Phoebe's work. For more breathtaking photos, I highly recommend you check out her website.

Nike Blazer Mid 77 Scribble

When I was in high school, doodling on kicks was a thing. How cool to come into class, learn a few things, then walk out with a pair of scribbled-on sneakers. Even today, many basketball stars are using their shoes for much more than performance. Take a close look at their trainers and you'll find messages written all over. Now Nike is celebrating the process with the release of its Blazer Mid 77 Scribble. Aside from the hand-drawn sidewall Swoosh, the shoe also has smaller notes hidden all over, including the style name and the year it was made. The tongue is also equipped with the brand's logo, which has been hand-drawn in black. I really like the design, especially the imperfect lines. And since we're talking about scribbled-on sneakers, I can't not mention Niko Pelaez . He's a true shoe-drawing machine! [h/t: Sneaker News ]

The Salimbaa

Here's a strange tribal instrument I never heard of before now. Originally from the Tinananon tribe of southern Philippines, the bowl-shaped Salimbaa is made of metal and wood, has 30 bronze wound strings, and is played using two small sticks. Caleb Byerly, who makes lost/extinct musical tools in his North Carolina workshop, has an interesting story on how he made his first Salimbaa.

The Art of Alice Pasquini

I got introduced to Alice Pasquini's work via Twitter a few hours ago and was immediately intrigued by her art, which revolves around topics of femininity and independent women. A little intro: She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, and works as an illustrator, set designer and painter. She has lived and worked in the U.K, France, and Spain, and has completed projects with international brands, such as Canon, Nike, Range Rover, Toyota, and Microsoft. From large murals to small canvasses, Alice's creativity shines through in every city she visits, thanks to her unique style. It's impossible to choose favorites because they're all stunning and you'll have to go to her website to experience them all.
