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.

Nice idea! Very clever getting illustrators to submit for free and then paying them if thier design gets produced. Also love how the users of the site create market research by voting. A + kids.

i think the “Owlus Dyslexicus” has won me over by ‘tee masters’.
So appropriate….giggle giggle…
anna said | 2 February, 2007
I liked the angry recycle tree, but he only got 23 votes, which was not enough to be put on a tee. Of the featured designs I say Intellectual Property is my fave, because I work to protect other people’s every day!
Georgia said | 2 February, 2007
Who can resist a girl who blows bubbles? She’ll stomp on your heart with her hot little kitten-heel-and-socks combination, dance like Molly Ringwald in the Breakfast Club and then make an artwork out of how it made her feel. Samson, Bubblegum, fosho.
Kate said | 2 February, 2007
I’m loving ‘haiku’ by Ana Kras. The girl is delicate, but you know she will kick your ass.

Piwi said | 3 February, 2007
I love the style of “musings” by Surly, the colors and the overall vector and face, very stylish and girly, just like moi, tehee, only wish the design was much bigger in the shirt, but it’s really good nevertheless
Elizabeth Cutler said | 3 February, 2007
“Haiku” by Ana Kras is simple, not over the top, or too graphic design-y.
It incorporates element of fashion with wearability.
I could live in it.
Bek said | 3 February, 2007

HAVE YOUR SAY
We checked in recently with illustrator Josh Cochran and asked him how he kept the creative process fresh and stimulating, despite producing so much new work: ‘I try hard to keep pushing new ideas in my work. Of course, there are often times when I feel tired and stale and produce work that isn’t that isn’t challenging. Generally, though, I try to keep building on things I’ve accomplished in my work. To me, that’s what keeps my work consistent as well gives me room to grow. After a while a certain direction will feel boring to me and I’ll start pushing out to try something different’. Read more

I’m really excited about the Melbourne band Plug-in City. They remind me of Belle & Sebastian, The Kooks and Cut Copy all in one. What more can us New Yorkers ask for?
Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut is an award-winning designer with varied projects. This one, entitled The Lilypad, is nothing short of amazing. It’s an eco-city, floating on water, with the ability to accommodate upwards of 50,000 people. If built as designed, this structure (which uses most, if not all, available environmental technologies) would sustainably produce more power than it would consume.
Our celebrity-saturated culture makes many of us irrationally hateful of the faces we see on our TV screens and magazine pages. Good thing there’s Celebrity PunchOut to let off some of that steam.
Whitest Boy Alive follow their own rules: no overdubs, no FX, and the music is always recorded live in one take. Fronted by Erlend Øye (of Kings Of Convenience notoriety), the Berlin collective produce a distinctive blend of minimalist melodies and pillowy grooves. And on the eleven tracks that constitute their new album, Rules, they convey one polite directive: please, move your body. We have their latest single, Island [listen below], available for free download in the Music Download section of the Lost At E Minor site [pssst, it's in the third column], along with new releases by Vic Chestnutt, Winter Gloves, and Cut Off Your Hands.

See Lady Gaga and raise her an iron mask. This fierce metallic face accessory created by AND_I is made of anodized aluminium and trumps any everyday masquerade ball. Perfect for a night out of crusading cocktails.
