Alibis: a new fragrance for cheating men
Oh no, has it really come to this? A new range of colognes being sold out of a strip club in South Africa enables men to spray themselves with a selection of ‘smells’ to provide an alibi for why they’re home late. So which one is it, men: are you ‘working late’ (cigarettes, coffee, ink and wool suits), have a ‘broken down car’ (fuel, burnt rubber, grease, oil and steel), or ‘been out sailing?’ (fresh ocean spray, sunscreen, aqua and cotton rope).

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.

I’m a sucker for just about anything to do with printmaking. UK illustrator Jonny Hannah makes a very strong case. Busy, colorful, spontaneous and brimming with inspiration, THIS is the stuff amazing is made of. Read more
Was poking around at Dad’s Big Plan and found this rather awesome looking concept car called the Maininki, which was designed by Finnish designer Antti Eskeli. It has an adjustable chassis length so it can morph from a luxury sedan into a compact hatchback.

American Suburb X is best photography resource I have ever seen. Ever. I spend hours here. Interviews and features on contemporaries like Todd Hido next to a Robert Frank book I’ve never seen. Robert Adams, Gary Winnograd, William Klein, Stephen Shore, all just the tip of the iceberg. Read more
Music isn’t necessarily a serious venture. It’s almost funny when you find some you know will grate to dust the stiff upper lipped critics of the world. Every now and then I like the type of sound that hops around the edge of your ears without working its way into your brain and messing up the seratonin levels. And Californian 16-piece tropical-ska-pop group, Still Flyin’, do just that for me. It’s a good laugh, quite catchy, and an awesome live experience so I’m told: especially with the sun out, a can of cider in your hand and a bunch of grinning faces skanking around you.
