Autistic artist Gilles Trehin’s imaginary city of Urville
Gilles Trehin is an amazing French artist. He has autism, and an incredibly creative mind. Now 32, he has created the imaginary city of Urville, which he has been working on since he was 15.The drawings of Urville are just astounding in terms of detail and execution. He also has a book of the same name, looking at the history, geography, economy, and culture of this totally imaginary city, along with 300 drawings.

This is one of my favourite websites. It’s French, so it can be tricky to find your way about, but it is totally worth it once you do. Your favourite bands, as you’ve never or rarely seen them, as well as what will be your new favourites. Beautifully captured by French film maker Vincent Moon, the musicians play acoustic sessions on quiet streets, on busses, under the Eiffel Tower. Arcade Fire, The Shins, Beirut, Fleetfoxes, Bon Iver, to name only a few from a huge list.
Cities, robots, bears and penguins. A lot of penguins. This is my work. I am in my fourth year at Art College in Limerick, Ireland, and started drawing in this kind of style about two years ago. Read more
Irish band Ham Sandwich with their song Ants
Ham Sandwich. An Irish indie rock band from Kells, Ireland..rather than the snack. These guys released their second album, Whitefox, this year to widespread acclaim. Coming in at 33 mins or so, this album doesn’t have any filler. Just great songs throughout. The standout tracks for me are The Naurist, and ‘Ants’, one of my favourite songs this year. They are also put on a really really great show if you get to catch them live!
