Behind-the-scenes photos from the Back To The Future set
Back To The Future, and its star Michael J Fox, would have to be one of the most iconic moments in 80s history. Killer movie, full of that naive optimistic escapism that characterised the 80s generation. These behind the scenes photos that ran on the Lime Is Better blog reveal some of the tricks behind the direction and set design, which seemed so futuristic at the time. Read more
Brilliant black and grey tattooing by James Spencer Briggs
Oh man. There are tattoos, and then there are Tattoos, if you know what I mean. And LA-based James Spencer Briggs practically defines the latter. His black and grey tattoo art is just stunning: a dramatic wash of neo-rennaissance themes with deft surrealist elements, all impeccibly designed and done with exemplary taste. If only he made a quick trip to Austin, I’d have him ink me up in a heartbeat. Hint, hint. Read more
New York car space being sold for 1 million dollars
Only in New York? We think so, though those in Tokyo may disagree. According to that reputable news source, the UK’s Daily Mail, a ‘developer of a luxury condo building in New York City’s Greenwich Village has listed a parking spot for $1 million’. That’s right. And the spot only holds one car, measuring in at an underwhelming 12 feet by 23 feet. So is it even semi-reasonable to ask this much? The New York Post thinks not. They’ve determined that ‘driver would have to rack up a $115 illegal parking ticket every day for 24 years before reaching the cost of this luxury garage’. Ah, the joys of deep pockets.

it’s kind of gross…do they shave their dogs? collect their hairs from around the house?
*shudders*

I have 2 dogs and I sweep up an unbelievable wad of dog hair every other day, this idea has crossed my mind so many times. I can’t believe people have actually done it.

My old dog used to shed like crazy (she was a Norwegian Elkhound, related to huskies). Every time we brushed her we wound up with ridiculous amounts of hair. We thought about making sweaters with it many times, and we really could have. I don’t see how this is grosser than making sweaters from the hair of any other animal.

This is not gross, have you ever worn wool? At least my dog is in the house and bathed regularly. The sheep have all sorts of things in their fur and they live outside. I love wool and I also love my dog, I can’t wait until I have enough to send it out and get spun! Chiengora has long been a choice to make clothing. It is 8 times warmer then wool and looks beautiful. Check this out!

Digital media artist Greta Poulsen’s latest exhibition, Shift, features a compilation of moving images compressed into one still image. The moving images are from the television series, Dragnet 1967. Photoshop compares each frame and combines the result so that anything that is moving in the frame is manipulated, while everything that stays still remains relatively unchanged. Read more
