Australian artist Zoe Sernack has been working within the fashion industry for a while now, doing her bit to bring edgy and different accessories into retail stores around Australia. Whether she was designing bags and jewellery herself or sourcing them. Her interest in them evolved when she co-founded Catch and Kiss jewellery, perpex jewellery that was seen at Fashion Week and on the necks of many girls around town. The trend took over and she has now gone out on her own to have Zoemou, (which means ‘my life’) and ZM. Zoemou is a range of leather laser cut art noveau inspired pieces. Almost like tattoos from another era. ZM is a unisex silver jewellery label, where you can see meat cleaver, sneakers, dracula teeth, pencil sharpeners, halloween pumpkins and the like in beautiful detailed silver. It’s been a hit with both the guys and the girls. We have two of these beautiful ZM charms to give away to random Lost At E Minor subscribers who leave a comment under this posting with what they would most like to see immortalised in a charm. Entries close March 16th and winners will be announced below.

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.

Zoe couldn’t go wrong with her headphone, shades and koi pieces.

I would love to see a ball of rubber bands
Tarsh said | 8 March, 2007
I really like the pencil sharpener, along with the rubber bands idea above (not sure how that would work) but a paper clip would also look great.

I’d like to see a silver false eyelash charm.
Em said | 12 March, 2007
I’d go for a sawed-off shotgun… or maybe a tongue.
ian said | 12 March, 2007
Along with a pencil for then pencil sharpener, I would love to have a setsquare, or a compass, or even better a slide rule. But most of all a rolling pin and whisk.

Love the rubber band ball idea. Here are a few others I’d like to see:
- Hip flask
- Boxing gloves
- Heart (as in the organ, with aorta and all)

HAVE YOUR SAY
My background is in street art and there are a lot of people historically who I’ve really liked. But in terms of new people, I particularly love the work of Brooklyn artist Judith Supine. It’s a surreal combination of old engraving art mixed with hand-drawn and painted images. He does paste up posters, but they’re not just square, they’re cut-out shapes of these interesting looking characters. The closest thing I could compare it to are the Monty Python animations.

3fram.es is a website made by Eyebeam fellow Aaron Meyers. It uses your computer’s webcam to take a series of pictures and uploads them into the site’s always-growing gallery of animated gifs. There’s an iPhone app for it, too, which we used to document moments of our last tour. Gifs are great because they’re way smaller than movie files, and they’re more exciting than still images.
Andrew Fagan, lead singer of The Mockers, the poppiest New Zealand band of the 80s, came around to my place once when I was an impressionable 10-year old with stars in my eyes and a head full of shiny, shiny melodies. Read more
Along with San Francisco and Barcelona, New York is arguably the modern street skating city, both in reality and image. Because of the unique background, experience and perspective of the film’s creators and the decision to “cast” the city of New York as one of the main characters, Deathbowl to Downtown promises to be an unprecedented, seminal film.

Our friends over at Sex In Art recently posted the work of Japanese artist Aya Kato. Says Justin, the founder of the site: ‘I have this folder on my desktop titled Cool Shiat. It’s where I save all the inspirational images I find on the net. I’ve just finished filling it up with Aya Kato’s amazing images. Argh wow. Wow, wow, wow. I won’t say anymore. Just check her work out for yourself’. Read more
Wow! So whilst Australia is quickly becoming known for its Ed Banger-styled modular stream of music, there is a little known Brisbane artist called Yeo Choong who is just insanely talented. His music is full of summer fun and Kanye West-Phoenix influences. Take my word on it, this is going to be Australia’s next answer to Sam Sparro, Mika or even Jamie Lidel, and he is only 21 years-old.
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.
