Fashion / A subscribers drive [with treats attached]

We’ve just kicked off a big subscription drive for Lost At E Minor whereby — over the next two weeks — we’ll be giving away prizes to random new subscribers as well as a big goodie pack to the person that encourages the most new subscribers [using the Refer A Friend function on the e-newsletter] to sign up to the weekly email. So this is how it will work: every day for the next two weeks there will be a spot prize given to a randomly selected new subscriber to the e-newsletter. At the end of the two week period, we will also determine who has referred the most people onto the newsletter and they will be sent a pack including a guy’s [Zanerobe] and girl’s [Religion] t-shirt; the new Black Keys album; a beautiful Pani dress [pictured above right]— guys, you’ll definitely be in the good books with the other half if you win this; girls, you will love this dress. Pani is one of the hottest Australian labels around right now; along with a few other treats and goodies. Other prizes that will be up for grabs include a pair of Tsubi jeans and t-shirt [pictured above left]; some Religion t-shirts; a Lade t-shirt; and some more Pani dresses. New subscribers — anyone who signs up over the next two weeks — who want to enter this giveaway should leave a comment under any posting on the website, then check back in under this giveaway posting at 1pm Sydney time each day [that's 9pm New York time; 6pm LA time; 2am London time — yawn! — and so on] to see if you’re a winner that day. You can leave as many comments as you like and enter every day over that two week period. The final prize pack announcement will be made under this posting on November 28th at 1pm Sydney time. Good luck! And thanks for supporting Lost At E Minor.

Fernanda Cohen’s New York portfolio class

The brilliant New York illustrator, Fernanda Cohen — who just happens to live down the road from me in Brooklyn — is teaching a portfolio class at Third Ward starting this coming Tuesday. The course, Illustration Portfolio, ‘helps students build a professional portfolio strong enough for them to feel confident to show it to art directors in the illustration field, including editorial and advertising’. She will lead the class in discussions about ‘what goes into a portfolio, and how to choose your best work, and talk about art directors, who they are, and what they expect from illustrators they are looking to hire’. Visit the Third Ward website for more details.

Thank you thank you thank you to eminor. Without you, my desk would be a cultural wasteland, and I would be tempted to dress in black all day every day.

Ok, so maybe not black…that’s a little extreme. Possible gray though…or if you’d like me to be a tad more drastic - beige. Heavy sigh.

My point? Love the newsletter, and the mere mention of a printed version twisted my knickers (in the nicest possible way). Love you long time. Please, please, please keep up the tidy work.

New York-based photographer Alison Malone ventured behind the typically closed walls of the secret society known as Job’s Daughters to capture portraits of girls who are the direct blood relatives of Master Masons. As she notes: ‘The group is the only Masonic Youth organization to require this blood relationship’. We spoke to her about the series. Read more

Is it green? Is it funny? Is it Halloween? Or is it just a bad luck? I actually think they are super smart and stylish, and would not mind getting one of these beautiful couches next time I move to a new apartment. They are made of recycled (but unused) coffins, after all. Fantastic. Read more

The Monotracer

Swiss manufacturer Peraves has recently introduced the Monotracer, a two-wheeled vehicle that’s remarkably similar to the lightcycles in Tron. Buckminster Fuller would be proud.

Hiro Kurata

Some friends and I serendipitously stumbled across the work the artist Hiro Kurata the other night and we have been jointly obsessing over it since. Kurata’s work is torrid, moody and fragmented like a restless dream. Bursting with texture and patterns, it’s simply brilliant. As my friend Andrew Degraff accurately put it, ‘It’s like Savador Dali thrown through a plate glass window’. Indeed. Read more

New Practical Heritage

Herzog and de Meuron, the Swiss architects, have led the way with this re-use of the existing building fabric of CaixaForum in Madrid. Rather than being slavish to the existing openings, the building has been cut away for a contemporary practicality. We think this is an example of heritage not getting in the way of progress. Check out a similar concept of a previous post re-using the city fabric, where we were dreaming of such thing.

Anatomic Models

Kikkerland, the company behind those campfire tea light holders, has a line of amazing snap-together anatomic models of beetles, frogs, moths, cows, humans, and a wide range of other animals, even a wooly mammoth. Where the hell were these when I was a kid?

Warning at Work is a silkscreen mini-print from Sussex based illustrator Andy Smith which comes in a limited edition of just 50. Dimensions are 20cm x 15cm. We have them available through the Lost At E Minor store.
