Carrie Moyer
I’m a fan of the mixed media paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Carrie Moyer : they range from abstract composition to more topical and symbol driven pieces.

If the name Barnaby Whitfield conjures up images of the circus, that wouldn’t be entirely inappropriate. You might recognize his work from covers he has illustrated for The Dresden Dolls. This Brooklyn-based artist lives in a world populated by his own mythology of blushing youths, supermodels, Abraham Lincoln, and birds. Read more
Monster People paintings by Lauren Albert (aka LALA)
For Halloween, I want to be one of the weird, sweaty, third-eye monster people in the paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Lauren Albert, aka LALA. Read more
My friend Katya Usvitsky is a great Brooklyn-based artist who does a lot of textile-based work. I really like her recent pieces where she fills nylons with little wads of fiber to create weird, unsettling, organic forms. Read more

The goth in me is drooling over this Mammoth Talon Cuff by designer Pamela Love in collaboration with Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons. Apparently it’s made from real, 10-30,000-year-old mammoth tusk.
This fantastic walk-in installation was created by Berlin-based designer, Klaus R. Zimmermann. The installation deals with idols and anti-idols in society today: by entering the box, we can all become our own super hero or villian. Read more
An intelligently told, morally complex tale with a raft of unexpected twists, Gone Baby Gone is one of the most original films of recent times. Most films give you a sense of their narrative arc and it is easy to recognise the major plot points. Read more
Greek firm A31 just completed this sturdy-looking art warehouse for Alexandros Liapis in Dilesi, Boeotia. From some angles, the concrete structure looks like a fallout-proof bunker, but from the front it looks like an open and airy barn, the exterior looking very much like wood. Read more
We love sex in art. No, not in a smutty Benny Hill kinda way, but rather the way in which Australian-based website Sex In Art takes a healthy peek at all things arty and well … sexual. There’s some beautiful illustration work up there and some evocative photography. Heck, I’m getting a little hot under the collar just writing about it. While most of the work they feature is work friendly, some of it isn’t. Still, it’s worth more than a casual glance, like this painting by Chinese artist, Guan Zeju.
The hottest indie act around right now? Perhaps. Fullerton, California’s Cold War Kids not only have the slickest name going, but they have a batch of songs that are so good it’s frightening.
Now you can have your shoes and eat it, thanks to these Jimmy Cheese shoes designed by Bath Spa University fashion student, Lisa Dillon, and made from cheese and bread. It was commissioned by Pilgrims Choice Cheddar. Hmmm, might get a little stinky down there.
