The seven deadly sins by Christian Montenegro
The ‘seven deadly sins’ is a classical topic for an artist, it seems. As a fan of the Renaissance, I tend to prefer the traditional interpretation. However, Christian Montenegro, an illustrator from Buenos Aires, has come up with an interesting modernist version. Read more
Love Locks for Valentine’s Day
Are you looking for a romantic way of showing your sweetheart that you care about her or him for Valentine’s Day? Why not get a love lock? Love Locks appear in a few places around the world, and this is a short film about the locks on Ponte Milvio, one of the oldest bridges in Rome. A public symbol of unbreakable love put there by locals and visitors alike. Beautiful.
Envelope Drawings by Mark Powell
Mark Powell from London uses a standard big biro pen to draw amazing portraits of elderly people on the backs of old envelopes. His works are as evocative as his canvas is unusual. Regardless, the results of his creative efforts are amazing. Read more

HAVE YOUR SAY
South African artist The Flying Dutchman has been quietly honing his visual rhetoric for almost two decades and has no particular niche, opting rather for frequent direction changes in order to combat stagnation. As something of an journalistic artist, he documents everything around him, including the development of internal narratives, stories that will eventually find their own feet and continue without him.

Cotswold-based photographer Kai Murphy photographs people and landscapes, using dilapidated equipment to convey a narrative within his images. I have been especially inspired by his picture The Bison, a photograph taken in India on a film that had been recovered from a sunken boat.
Australian group Pivot have recently signed with the mighty Warp label and — even better (well, for us anyway) — have written a fun Secret Playlist for us. You can see where the many disparate influences have seeped into their latest recording, the beautiful and colourful, O Soundtrack My Heart.
We’re smitten (kitten) by the look of the new Standard Hotels’ Pendleton blankets, which were designed by the artists Geoff McFetridge and Chris Johanson. Composed of 82 per cent pure virgin wool and 18 per cent cotton, only 40 of each blanket design have been made. Read more
Fashion blogger Tavi is biting, witty, articulate, and stylish for any age. The fact that she’s only twelve makes her kind of over-the-top amazing. Already an accomplished photographer and astute critic of all things wearable, the sarcastic pre-teen is probably sick of being described as precocious, but she’s the very definition of the word.
Given the amount of talent he has, it’s a mystery why German producer Pantha Du Prince not received more attention than he has. His minimal tech soundscapes are surprisingly melodic and moody, as reflected on his epic track, Asha, as good a starting point to the music of this German electro whiz as any.
My band, Bloody Panda, used to perform on stage wearing executioner hoods. We’ve stopped doing that, but I’m going to suggest that we all wear panda hat/scarves.
