CT is 25 years old, hails from a little town on the hills near Torino, Italy, and has a modern take on Graffiti art. While his work looks infused with Illustrator vector work, he claims to be computer illiterate and does all his work old school with a pen and paper.
Too cool, great experiment in Web Open Font Format (WOFF) support & design. It’s really neat if you’re not a nerd, too…
Remarkably eerie, yet beautiful painting by Portland based artist Josh Keyes. Keyes depicts a multi-faceted landscape where the creatures are left to adapt to new and often unsustainable environments.
Keyes’ work foretells what may happen to our planet’s creatures in the future, and conjures up many feelings, ranging from fear and helplessness to wonder and awe. To see more of his work, visit his website.
Jason Mecier is a San Francisco artist/illustrator. His work has appeared in Entertainment Weekly, Harper’s, Detour, Details and on Nickelodeon. Mecier used Cap’n Crunch, Crunch Berries, Cheerios, Froot Loops, Alpha Bits, Count Chocula, Frosted Mini Wheats and other cereals to create this portrait.
These images were created for a new, illustrated edition of William Golding’s Lord of The Flies by (partial Canadian) New York based Illustrator Sam Weber. The interior images are four colour offset. Using contemporary illustration to accompany a much loved classic was an exciting challenge for Weber, made more so by the active involvement of the Golding Estate.
This is from the Luke’s Beard everyday project for 2010. Taking one lyric from a song every day and creating art or taking a photo inspired from that lyric.
Love this picture, gives me a flashback to the video I made about 14 months ago.
I dig the use of real film, I dig the edits, and I’m not sure if I think it’s amateur or pro that his photos have so much legit grain but the detail sells the fuzzy nostalgia I try for in everything I do. Kenny really stretches the levels in some of these and gets some amazing in-the-moment shots and I’m definitely down.
This melting polar bear ice sculpture, created by artist Mark Coreth, was presented last week in Copenhagen and sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to create an awareness on the human impact on the climate. As it melts, a skeleton appears..
And here is an inspiring interview with Mark Coreth.
Soundstills by Tviga Vasilyeva. The white forms in these photographs are the sculptural manifestations of audio footage that was recorded along the border between Russia and Finland. So amazing, I love these. Click here to view the rest of the set.
“The soundwaves are actual objects, reminiscent of the height of a tree. I recorded them when the forest was still there. When the trees had gone, I put the ‘sounds’ back to where they used to exist, sounds that look like trees that will never be heard again.”
It’s hard to say if Tim Walker has borrowed from Ramette, or come up with the idea on his own. Tim Walker’s surreal photograph’s have included Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter and work for Hermès luxury goods manufacturer. Is it possible for us to be unaffected by our surroundings? Is it possible for us to make anything original anymore, or will we just borrow from outside sources? Either way, surreal photographs offer us an exciting glimpse of the world we know, in a way we may not be used to seeing it. When you take Photoshop out of the equation, I feel these pictures take on a whole new level of ingenuity and skill.

Ever since I began making these Mixcasts, it was my eventual hope I would be able to co-host and co-curate some of these mixes. In some way, this small dream has come true with the Guest Mixtapes I've been able to share with you; but at the end of the day, it was still my voice. At least in the literal sense. All of that changes today as I'm joined by my friend Erik Jack (@erikstocrat). We sat down and picked some of the songs we haven't been able to get out of our heads in the past couple months, as ...
Well spring has sprung (if you ask me, and no, no one did) and you know how I feel about warmer weather. Instead of doing a two-parter spring Mixcast this year, I figured I'd just do a double length. I didn't put a lot of effort into narration for this one, so the good news you get to enjoy more music! Get in the mood with these fine musicians: Amor Fati by Washed Out Weekend by Class Actress Young Silence by Echo Lake Friendship Station by Le Tigre A Visit From Drum by Liars Ashamed by Deer Tick All We'll Ever Know by Parallels Triceratops (CFCF Rmx) by ...
Now this has been a long time coming. The last few months for me have been a ride, to say the very least. January, usually a slow time in my life was quickly filled with personal projects I had been putting off for a long time. I followed up with a lot of people I've wanted to collaborate with, under the assumption about 30%-50% of them would have the time to commit to a collab... imagine my surprise when just about everyone was into working together. Long story some-what short, I asked my friends in Sex with Strangers (@SWSmusic) to put ...
I tried something new last year when I gave you the ...By a Fire Mixtape, an alternative—although not entirely disparate—Holiday Mixtape. An hour long, commercial-free Holiday Mixtape where only 1/3 of the tracks are actual Christmas songs. To this day, I've considered producing another Mixtape in a similar fashion. I know it's nice to be able to put some music on and forget about it. I also hate the silence between tracks on regular Holiday albums so we kill two birds with one stone. Now, enjoy ...By a Fire: Volume 2. Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! by ...
