Liz Hickok
Jell-O! Liz Hickok’s latest artworks are based on a colourful, wobbly, mini San Francisco. The photographs and videos depict landscapes of iconic buildings and landmarks made from jelly, complete with greenery, bodies of water, fog, and artfully placed lighting. The effect is warm and magical and edible, enough to awaken our inner Hansel & Gretel.

San Francisco-based photographer Rob Kroenert is responsible for the above image of Horsetail Falls, a seasonal waterfall in Yosemite that due to the positioning of the sun during part of February, reflects the last rays of the day in such a way that makes it look like molten lava.
San Francisco’s Wood Fire Woodies
Thin crust pizza cooked in a wood-fire oven inside a bright, engine red 1940s Ford Woodie. Now that’s taking the revolving food van idea up a notch. Based out of San Francisco, Wood Fire Woodies is the product of two dedicated surfers — Patrick and Mariah Flanagan — who custom built their pizza-toting classic surf mobile and pimped it up with seriously intense wood burning ovens.

Sarah Appleboum makes a neon felt and yarn explosion in your face and everywhere, the epicenter of which is in San Francisco. While you’re unconscious from the impact, you will dream of rainbow yetis, shamans, and soft revolvers.

The tightly-wound compact fluorescent light bulbs we’ve welcomed into our homes have a little sister. Plumen is low-energy, yet she’s trendy, twisted and a designer’s dream. Not yet in production, you can see Plumen hanging alone in MOMA.
Fancy a fern in the face? The Sky Planter will fulfill your greenest fantasies. It is designed to conserve water, save floor space and puzzle visitors. An internal reservoir system to feeds water directly to the roots, so no water evaporates or drips. And somehow the soil is ‘locked in’. Woo!
A brick of any other kind would look as sweet, believes artist Jan Vormann. She began filling crumbling walls with multi-coloured Lego bricks in Bocchignano, a little village close to Rome, and was then invited to continue her rainbow reparations in Tel Aviv and Yaffo. Beautiful appropriation or ugly sacrilege?

AHHH!! This is the BEST! I always dreamed as a child of a world made from jelly… walking through jelly… hurrah!

When I was in grade six one of my classmates made a model out of jelly. After about six weeks on display it absolutely reeked.

Brooklyn-based artist Daniel Gordon makes really freaky 3D collages that he photographs. A lot of his source imagery comes from scanned or photographed skin, hair, and other organic textures. Read more
Just when I thought my favourite flip flops couldn’t get any better, Havaiana are still offering their thong straps laced with Swarovski crystals. I reckon the bling bling lover in you won’t mind forking out a little extra moolah if it means adding some sparkle to your Havis. Read more

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.
Date Night, starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey, is an hilarious comedy set in New York City. A case of mistaken identity turns a bored married couple’s attempt at a glamorous and romantic evening into something more thrilling and dangerous.
This gourmet paint is made by only two dedicated paint makers without fillers, just pigment and oil, like it should be. There is only one store that sells it and it is run out of the Elisabeth Foundation for the Arts building in Chelsea, New York. They have a table set up there so you can play with and mix any of the colours together to see its effects. I usually go to pick one tube up and hang around asking questions to one half of the duo, Gail, and usually leave with five tubes, having learned a lot about the history and the process behind each colour.
A broken snare drum rolling gently over a scratchy acoustic guitar; a deep lyrical catharsis smothering a melody which is predictable but endearing. Your Rocky Spine by Great Lake Swimmers is a magical song; all wrapped up in three and half minutes of lustful introspection.
