Reinventing from ship to shore, Catalan designer Ramon Llonch works with local West African craftsmen to turn old boats (used by the fisherman of Senegal) into quirky and colourful domestic furniture. One-of-a-kind hutches, chests, chairs, tables and a banging foosball table are among the eclectic collection of upcycled domestic fittings. The pieces are currently available in Barcelona and Paris.

Fresh Guacamole: a brilliant stop-motion video by PES
It seems like everyone and their canary thinks that they have what it takes to become the world’s best amateur chef. Talk a lot about ‘depth of flavours’, cry a little bit on camera to show your passion, slide right into a book deal and a TV show that lasts about two seasons. The artist known as PES has stripped the art of cooking right back: no famous faces, no fancy dishes. In fact,no real ingredients. Read more

This is a friend of mines’ blog. Her name is Nirrimi. She takes really amazing photos, and she makes great little films, too. I did the music score for one a while back.

Castevet are a promising new experimental black metal band out of New York. They have a much more complex and technical approach than other bands of this ilk, revealing post-hardcore and death metal influences as evidenced by guitarist Andrew Hock’s work in deathgrind outfit Biolich and Boston jazz/death/doom band Ehnahre.
See Lady Gaga and raise her an iron mask. This fierce metallic face accessory created by AND_I is made of anodized aluminium and trumps any everyday masquerade ball. Perfect for a night out of crusading cocktails.

The newest giclee print from Rebel Unlit, Inquiry into Jellyfish, is an adventure in mixed media.
