Hand from Above: teasing unsuspecting pedestrians
by In the Hand From Above installation by artist Chris O’Shea, unsuspecting passerby walking by a large-screen LED monitor are ‘tickled, stretched, flicked or removed entirely in real-time by an enormous hand, as though by some colossal deity’. Inspired by Land of the Giants, the intention is to question: ‘What if humans weren’t on top of the food chain?’

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.

If gold fronts are just a little too flashy for you, head over to Salt Lake City where Steve Heward at Heward Dental Lab will give you a ‘dental tattoo‘, which is actually a crown onto which he or another one of his artists can paint an image of your choice.
