What The Fork?
Sometimes people just take things a bit too far. That may be the case with David Schwen and his fabulously ridiculous What The Fork artwork. Eknife of that.

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.

As a kid, anime, manga, and Japanese toy design captivated me much more than anything available in America. Takayoshi Mizuki was one of the artists responsible for creating amazing paintings of Ultra Monsters between 1965 and 1972. Pink Tentacle just posted a nice selection of his best work. Read more

The newest giclee print from Rebel Unlit, Inquiry into Jellyfish, is an adventure in mixed media. We love the subtleties of this piece, which could be missed at first glance: the transparencies, the color distress, the foreground texture. We’re also a pretty big fan of that jellyfish. Inspired by Haruki Murakami’s The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, this limited-edition piece is printed on cotton matt archival 310gsm paper and is available now in the Lost At E Minor online store.
