We love underground Melbourne fashion label, Rest In Peace (RIP). The three lads behind it are doing some amazing clothing designs, many of which play on the visual twist afforded by the name of the brand. The t-shirts in particular are very cool and have already found their own little niche in the Australian market. The genesis of the label was simple: ‘The first book of the Old Testament tells of creation; Adam and Eve; the Fall of Man; Cain and Abel; Noah and the flood; God’s covenant with Abraham; Jacob and Esau; Joseph and his brothers. Now you have Rest In Peace, created not by Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, but Patrick, Mark and Tom. It’s The Third Coming!’ And the clothing itself? ‘It’s a hybrid product that offers the best of both worlds. We incorporate many other elements of design into Rest In Peace so it evolves beyond just fashion’. We have five Rest In Peace t-shirts to give away to random Lost At E Minor subscribers who either forward this posting onto at least six of their friends or leave a comment under this posting outlining another potential fashion related meaning for the abbreviation RIP. Winners announced on September 27th. Watch this space. [see also Sumakhi dress giveaway]

Maths explains the origin of superhero characters
I love the colours and simple reasoning in this clever series by Scottish illustrator Matt Cowen, which uses basic maths equations to explain how certain pop culture icons came to be. Read more
Star Wars Uncut: a fully crowdsourced version of Episode IV
The project of creative technologist, Casey Pugh, this full length version of the George Lucas masterpiece was created from multiple 15 second segments recreated from the original movie and submitted by thousands of Star Wars fans, which were then spliced together by editor Aaron Valdez to form the final product. Genius, as both a commentary on contemporary pop culture trends (there are references to LEGO, stop motion, memes and the like) and on the power of tapping your audience for quality material.
Filmmaker creates LEGO stop motion to propose to girlfriend
Now, this is one for the ages: back in 2010, Atlanta film-maker Walter Thompson created a jaw-dropping LEGO stop motion to propose to Nealey Dozier, his girlfriend of four years. The video took 22 hours of shooting and some 2,600 pictures to splice together, a small sacrifice to pay for years of happiness together. Right? Right! Oh, and she said yes. Bonus.

What a great looking t. One I could definately wear at the dinner table this christmas. The conversation would go as such,
“Ben, pass the turkey please, and my! What an exquisit shirt! What is that panties around the ankels?”
“Why yes mother” I would reply, “its 100% cotton”
“The panties too?” She would ask…
“Yes, the panties too, however its ‘screened’ on so it is merely just a representation of the actual, corporeal thing that is the panties.”
“Ah, now I understand Benjamin, now pass me the turkey like a good boy.”
“With pleasrue mother.”
I’d love to see RIP come across the ocean to Canada… i’d make a great “rip rep”

Do you think this is how SMP got all those sayings for those tees us skaters slarthered ourselves with in the mid ’90s?
Recurrence Is Perculiar but a Rather Innane Pondering.

Presented as a tableau of vignettes, the work of UK illustrator Jody Barton is executed in a variety of techniques and mediums, yet manages to run the gamut from delicately bold watercolors, to thoroughly noir black and white ink drawings, to child-like, and endearing, colored pencil scribbles.
This entertaining documentary follows a group of seemingly clichéd American teenagers in their last year of high school. Through a comprehensive recording of their lives it reminds us that, when examining anything in detail, there is no such thing as a cliché. The naivety and hope of each student shines through, providing a memorable and accurate portrait of a middle-American high school. Read more
I’d never before seen a museum where the building itself is the attraction more so than what is exhibited inside. Built by Daniel Libeskind in 1999, the Jewish Museum in Berlin is worth a visit even if you are not an architecture fan. Read more
Google recently demonstrated their ability to predict flu outbreaks across America weeks in advance of the outbreaks themselves. It would seem that they are more than just a pretty search engine. And as if that wasn’t enough, they’ve now teamed up with Life Magazine, what was the cornerstone of photojournalism for the Twentieth Century, to digitize 95 per cent of their image bank that never saw the light of day. Now millions of photos stretching from the 1750s to the present day are available on Google Images at the click of a button. Read more
