Christian Northeast’s work often reminds me of Terry Gilliam’s. It has a much more vaudevillian/Americana feel to it, and he incorporates a lot more original work into his collages. Read more

WE'RE THINKING

I remember seeing some of Rebecca Fin Simonetti’s paintings in a friend’s room a few weeks ago and thinking they were really amazing. I was really glad someone was doing straight-up portraiture. Read more

The sky is falling. The world is ending. How do we deal with it? Since we can’t nail the CEOs and bankers that got us into this mess (instead, we’re bailing them out), let’s make light of the misery of people who make a living abetting the broken system.

WE'RE LISTENING TO

Wow! So whilst Australia is quickly becoming known for its Ed Banger-styled modular stream of music, there is a little known Brisbane artist called Yeo Choong who is just insanely talented.

WE'RE WEARING

The current economic crisis has got us missing our frivolous spending past. But we need to be strong and resist fashionable purchases, right? Wrong. We’ve just got to get a little more creative with our rationalisation. And that’s why we don’t just want a hand-made one of a kind silk scarf from label Trust Fun. We actually need it.

Soft sheer silk in amazing one-off colour combinations just don’t go out of style, and with more uses than we can list, they’re one piece you can validate. It’s the rescue purchase we’ve been waiting for.
