Interface Artist Builds A Real OS X Home Icon

Some things in life are so cool, geeky – let me just say it, awesome – that you’ve got to see them with your own eyes to believe. I’ve always been attracted by the “digital becomes real” experiments (there’s this video on Vimeo about Facebook, Twitter and OS X created with cardboard I can’t find anymore), and what “interface artist” Johannes P Osterhoff has come up with is just too cool to not end up here in the late night geek coverage of MacStories.

He basically took the standard OS X home icon, created a wooden version and carried it around on his shoulders. I know, insane. He’s the same guy that painted images using Aqua graphical elements and created actual shields out of the UI of Windows Vista.

Please, go check out his post about the “project” here.
