Sayaka Ganz: makes beautiful art from trash
While the term ‘sustainable art’ may conjure images of recycling propaganda from the early nineties, Sayaka Ganz is doing it right. I love the idea of taking trash and making it beautiful, but this is utter transformation.
Her work looks as if some sentient alien technology was born in the plastic island floating in the Pacific Ocean. Her work is utterly beautiful and asks questions about waste and form at the same time.

Whenever I need a dark art fix, I find my fingers automatically typing Wurzeltod into my browser. Suzanne Gerber claims to be an art nerd from London, but her ability to discover and distribute the works of these macabre and luscious artists borders on the uncanny. Read more
Upcycled fashion design by Christopher Raeburn
This rad British fashion designer, Christopher Raeburn, is making a name for himself upcycling military fabrics like wool blankets and parachutes. Not only do I love that he is keeping this crap from ending up in a landfill, or that he is saving the environs from the impact of new fabric manufacture, but locked within his work is the idea that these weavings were originally created for death and destruction and now they are redeemed unto the liberty of his imagination.

Zero Motorcycles: an electric motorcycle company

I love the movement in the horses and penguins. The horses especially are fantastic,they could be galloping through water or a paper wall,everything is just suggested.

Jeff McMillan’s body of work represents a managerie of pop-culture icons where movie characters, Star Wars aliens, and mythical beasts collide in a carnival sideshow.
Sometimes seeing a movie without any knowledge of what it’s about makes for an incredible experience. I encountered a similar effect when viewing David Adamo’s new show at Untitled. I had heard his name before, and maybe seen an image or two of his work, but I definitely wasn’t prepared for this full-fledged attack on the gallery’s space. Read more

In the wake of America’s historic presidential election, nearly two years of divisive campaigning, and eight years of a controversial administration, the nation is in desperate need of healing. Beloved Internet personality Ze Frank started From 58 to 42 with Love where contributors use their webcams to post messages reaching out to the side of the country that didn’t vote for their guy. It’s saccharine at times, and there are one or two borderline nasty posts from people that don’t seem completely onboard with the project’s objective. But overall, it’s pretty effective and moving. I’ll admit I needed a couple tissues while reading it.
The Adam Carolla Show just recently broke the Guiness World Record for Most Downloaded Podcast. I’m a huge fan. It’s free and it keeps me entertained for a couple hours every day while I work. Read more
