City for Birds: an installation by Tibor Árki and Gergely Kovács
City for Birds is what it sounds like: an artificial city model built on a giant plane tree made by two artists, Tibor Árki and Gergely Kovács, in Miskolc, a city in Hungary. The witty installation includes blockhouses, various shops, beauty salons, a prison and other characteristic types of buildings, all in bird scale. Among the buildings, the artists also placed fake advertisements, addressed to birds, as a critique of urban existence in the 21st century.

I’ve been always fascinated by the way our senses work and how they deceive our mind sometimes. As an experiment, I wanted to confuse the visitors of the gallery space and mix reality with illusory images. By projecting artificial shadows onto the windows, visitors could become part of the projected image, since their shadows appeared to be no different from those in the movie. I used the windows as screens to connect the interior to the outside world. Read more
Brilliant animation by Jean-Patrice Blanc
I first saw this short movie of Jean-Patrice Blanc at the Holland Animation Film Festival last year, and I have watched it many times since. Blanc picked a complex music track and transcribed it into a basic, yet convincing graphic language. Sound and image are in such an incredible harmony. I love every frame of it.
I just found this awesome website with numerous medieval drawings of animals. Bestiaries, illustrated collections of beasts, used to be very popular in the Middle Ages. However, usually artists were never able to observe the animals themselves, so their drawings were based only on written description.

I’ve always liked to make jokes and scribble. At first I thought I should be a doctor, but after that didn’t pan out, I turned to a life cartooning. It’s true what they say, ‘laughter is the best medicine’. And Beet Stew is the best tasting medicine.

Oh man, close your eyes if you will and transport yourself to a place far, far away; where disco is in, polyester is up, and everyone bows long and deep to the gravitational pull of the almighty afro. Sister Self-Doubt by The Shakes takes me there. It takes me front and centre, feeling that slippery, incidenary groove as it crunches my spine and works its way to my feet. Hmmm, the feet. It’s always in the feet. And now I’m dancing and twisting, onwards and upwards, like a manic spinning top thinking nothing of today and even less of tomorrow.
Listen to The Shakes track, Sister Self Doubt.

If only we could swap out every ubiquitous North Face jacket that sits tight on the weather-beaten frames of far too many Manhattanites for one of these wonderful creations by Japanese artist, Kosuke Tsumura. The city would be that much more of an interesting place. Called Final Home, this parka has 44 zippered pockets and is part of Tsumura’s collection of ‘post-apocalyptic streetwear’, designed as a respite — and insulation — from the stresses of modern urban living.
