An exhibition, 14 apt and able designers, and a resolve: design objects "to create temporary relief or happiness within the banal tasks of the average day."

Together, they decided that the world doesn't have enough funny in it. This was obviously no good. And so, the ever-clever Steven Haulenbeek invented Photo Paddles, clear, pocket-sized paddles, printed with props to add to your pics!

With Photo Paddles, you can find instant funny in all of your everyday "banal tasks." Snooze-fest while standing in line at the bank? Throw a mustache on the security guard! Use the speech bubble to turn your dog's woofs into "wassups."

You can even animate the inanimate! The maple in our front yard now sports a pair of luscious red lips, and the street light across the way dons a cowboy hat (and he has a thing for the tree).

Mustaches, cowboy hats, and big red lips, all ready at your fingertips for silly n' sneaky snaps. It's like having a dress-up photo-booth in your pocket!
