Of all the weird places the world has to offer, the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia has to be one of the coolest. Literally.

There’s no heating and the beds aren’t exactly ‘plush’, but it’s worth every salty second. Read more

Both create the kind of art that that makes you giddy with pleasure, while the lack of pretension puts you completely at ease. You get the undeniable sense that these are two people who simply live and breathe creativity and love every moment of it. Two amazing artists with a wholly individual take on life and the world around them. I had the pleasure to grill them both. Read more

If animated wall drawings of severed heads and insect men ejecting their brains from their craniums is what people produce when they have too much time on their hands, then we should do their laundry for them and cook them dinner so they’ll have even more time on their hands.
