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.

Absolutely adorable and so utilitarian! Not just as a tea towel, but as art to hang over the handle of my oven or to be a wall calendar.
Laura Kazmier said | 22 November, 2008
wouldn’t mind a towel that tells me the day of the week, while a nude woman picnics. tea happens to be my forte as well.
Zoe said | 22 November, 2008
because the girl on the towel has taken her top off to protest that it’s my pots she wants to dry!
rizzo said | 23 November, 2008
my kitchen NEEDS this! Texta Queen is the BESTEST and tea towels are this seasons must have household item!
Paula said | 23 November, 2008
Well if I can’t be a texta nude myself, I might as well just do the dishes!
jeanette rico said | 23 November, 2008
I would rather it be hung up on my marvelous wall than have it be used for my total ass drying.
Too sexxxy for my ass.. trust me ;]
Katie said | 24 November, 2008
It’s quite likely that I will never use this tea towel to do the dishes, but instead will hang it off the oven door to create the illusion that I dry my dishes by hand….

i am the most forgetful person in the entire universe. it’s especially bad when i forget my laundry in the basement of our queens apartment. now, i’ve forgotten supper nice clothes, high thread count sheets and everything in between, so when i kept forgetting my entire collection of k-mart holiday tea towels i never thought it would be a big deal. so, a week or so later i journeyed down to the basement to fetch them and much to my dismay they were all gone. i called the super, left notes in the elevator, but nothing. i have never lost one sock, a tshirt, a pillowcase, and to be completely honest i’ve found my forgotten laundry FOLDED before, yet someone has the audacity to steal stained and bleach spotted tea towels? the world is a very strange place…

i must have one of these tea towels because i heart texta queen. and because maybe, just maybe if i had a tea towel this beautiful my boyfriend would spare it from the ‘use to wipe the cast iron fry pan that has left permanent greasy stains on every other tea towel we own’ treatment. and, we’re getting married in january, and this fetching tea towel with a calendar of the year of our wedding on it would make a lovely wedding gift from lost at e minor to a faithful subscriber… x

Knowing the date is important I need it…plus its probably made out of the neck fur of a yak…always a bonus.
Jocelyn said | 28 November, 2008
Nude lady getting up to shenanigans on a tea towel? cool.
She also dries my pots and pans while in the nude. unusually…unsettling.
pond reeds in my pot after the big dry up? not spectacular, but i’ll settle for that
Mixolidia said | 2 December, 2008
I should win because it reminds me of Édouard Manet’s Luncheon on the Grass. Except here the nude stopped being an symbol in a chaotic scene and is just happy to have a little lunch and maybe share. And I would love it. I’d put it in a frame and hang it in my kitchen. Just like my grandma use to hang her calendar tea towels in a frame in her kitchen and then use old t-shirts to dry her dishes. Thanks.

I must have this towel to look at in my kitchen every day. I spend a lot of time in my kitchen since becoming a stay at home mom. This towel reminds me so much of a more creative time in my 20′s. More importantly, her boobs bring back nostalgic days before I nursed 2 boys and mine went completely south of the border. I also lost all my brain cells in with my breast milk and this would help me remember things, since I practically can’t remember my name these days (life with 2 kiddos under 5). On too many levels, this towel bring me so much joy to look at. I can only imagine how awesome it would be to put it on my wall in my kitchen. Heck, I might even cover up the window with it instead. It would be a better view for sure.
HAVE YOUR SAY
‘Leave me a voicemail and I’ll write music behind your narrative. Call it a soundtrack to your thoughts’. That’s the short introduction this exceptional Tumblr gives about its content. The idea behind it is as unique and work intensive as it’s brilliant. The result is a raw, honest and touching collection of art that delivers moving short stories of people’s lives. Read more
I recently stumbled across the beautiful work of Isreali artist Tal R in all it’s raw and colourful splendor. Rough, spontaneous texture, tapestry-like compositions, and artfully placed drips all come together within Tal’s folksy oeuvre. I can’t even really decide which I’m swooning over more — the Grosz-like paintings or his fantastically raw drawings. Read more
Films involving characters faced with an impossible choice never make easy viewing, an example being the Nick Cave Australian gem, The Proposition. A nightclub manager, played with understated power by Joaquin Phoenix, is the victim here, and you actually feel truly uncomfortable as his predicament unfolds. Set in the 1980s, We Own The Night shows a real nostalgia for that period — particularly in the costumes. Read more
When you first see The Gershwin Hotel, you might think it’s an art gallery or a public art installation. The white, bird-like shapes sticking out of its red facade is certainly unique, without being too loud. The rooms are rather small but the location and accessible price range makes it all worth it.
His name is Marshall Ace Drummond, which makes his initials MAD. At just over 8 months old, you don’t need to be clucky to appreciate his outfits: from Baby Gap to Cheap Monday, and sometimes not much more than a cheeky grin. This bub oozes charisma and his clothes suit him to a tee (pun intended).
My roommate Adam and I have been playing Mark McGuire’s album, Pocket Full of Rain, all summer and some other tapes our other roommate has showed us that he did. I really like everything this guy has done. I sit and watch him play guitar on YouTube when I’m bored.
