Christoph Neimann LEGOs New York
Berlin-based conceptual illustrator Christoph Niemann’s recent LEGO post on the New York Times blog is fantastic. He recently moved back to Germany after eleven years in New York, and apparently, he misses the city a lot.

The Definitive Drinker’s Dictionary in Brooklyn
Chemically inconvenienced, distinguished, at peace with the floor, every single ‘-faced’ prefix, all phrases amongst the 2,964 synonyms for being totally wasted. DRUNK, The Definitive Drinker’s Dictionary by Paul Dickson, has been illustrated by former New York Times Art Director, recent GOOD Magazine Guest Art Director and current temporary Stockholm resident, Brian Rea. His hilarious and whimsical pieces are hanging right now in Brooklyn’s own Melville House. Stop in for a look, check the book and exit immediately to the nearest glass of whiskey. Being drunk never has been so explicable. Read more
British illustrator Mr. Bingo’s drawings usually involve some kind of gag — check out the Complaint drawing on his website — and though there’s a light-hearted whimsy about his style, the professionalism with which he renders his images reflects his seriousness about conveying clear ideas and messages through his work. The Mighty Boosh, WIRED magazine, Esquire, and the New York Times are among his many clients. Read more
More often than not, internet-only hip hop mix tapes are released by wannabe rappers whose lyrics and delivery are derivative and uninspired, and who’ll never get enough weight behind them for a full length release. 24 year-old Washington MC Wale Folarin is different.

Victoria Reynolds’s meat paintings
I look at so much art, it’s rare that I see something that ‘wows’ me. But I love bumping into that rare moment. I was doing photo research (nothing related to meat) and bumped into Victoria Reynolds’ work. WOW. Gross-ugly-beautiful. I especially love the ones in matching meaty looking frames.

Scanners’ new single Salvation
I love this track by London based rock group, Scanners, which is off their latest album, Submarine.

No, that wouldn’t be fun.
