Beck sketchel
Our good friends over at Jeremyville recently unveiled a new sketchel in their ongoing series of baggage art — where illustration meets fashion meets art meets a warm shoulder to carry it on. The unisex ‘Beck vs Gauckler vs sketchel’ features the creative input of Paris-based artist Genevieve Gauckler and is big enough to fit a 15-inch ibook laptop in. You can buy them through the newly launched Lost At E Minor online store.

The little adventure of bunny girl
The debut collection of Dynchav is very interesting and well-crafted. Their products are simple and detail in the same time. I’ve fallen in love with their tote bag, which has a magnificent illustration on it.
Sydney based label Virr believe that the company you carry, or more over, the accessories you carry have the power to define you. Virr’s classical, handcrafted leather totes, shoes and bags have that old world charm that makes modern metros and fashionistas week at the knees.

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.

HAVE YOUR SAY
Damn! Who would have known America’s sweetheart could get so twisted. Mariel Clayton, that’s who, the brilliantly evil mind behind this Bad Barbie photo series. The inspiration? Simple: ‘You can’t get to be Barbie without an ocean’s worth of peroxide, 27 plastic surgeries and a complete lack of intelligence, so it irritates me immensely that this is the toy of choice women give to their daughters to emulate. Behind the vacuous perpetual lipsticked-smile lurks the black heart of the true sociopath, just like in real life’. Read more
Photojournalist You Li has an impressive array of stark personal photos of various barren, empty/emptying natural and human landscapes across China, images not often seen of the world’s most populous nation. They’re sad and gritty, but also achingly poetic. Read more
I don’t care if Jimmy Hendrix was dragged kicking and screaming from where he lies, put through a torrid round of detox, and handed an invisible guitar – a Flying V carved out of the bones of Robert Johnson. It would still pale in comparison to this. Read more
Here’s another commercial building, and no doubt a nice one too. But just another commercial building. Yet there is something different here and it’s in the materials used. The cladding is a fibre-reinforced polymer, or a FRP, and has a finish similar to that of a car. Read more
Michael Wolf, a German born American photographer, has lived in Hong Kong since 1995. His work explores the ways city-dwellers in China and Hong Kong shape their surroundings in an ‘organic metropolis’. His series — Architecture of Density — has some breathtaking images of Hong Kong’s apartment buildings.
I’ve yet to find out what they put in the water in Germany that generates such a consistently rich stream of good electronica. Carrying the torch at the moment is Hendrik Weber, aka Pantha du Prince, whose early 2007 release, This Bliss, landed on my doormat with a deep bass-kick and hasn’t left my iPod since. Read more
