To label Phil Jackson’s work as ‘photography’ doesn’t really tell the whole story. Yeah sure, his photos are all thoughtfully-composed and very well shot. But I can’t help but pick up on a certain raw energy when I look through his portfolio. After spending a few minutes browsing his website, it became very clear to me that this is Jackson’s real life, and these pictures are a manifestation of his everyday experiences.

I have been a long-time fan of Mathew Palladino’s paintings. Both technically precise and conceptually smart, his previous gallery efforts have been nothing short of amazing. On his flickr page is a preview for his upcoming solo show at San Francisco’s Eli Ridgeway Gallery called Sweet Relief. Read more

A flat-packed pop-up bicycle rack?! A re-design of the one gallon milk jug?! A sleek laptop case made out of bent ply wood?! I’ve been admiring Brian Kelly’s simple and effective approach to product design for a long time now, simply because he takes everyday items and makes them smarter. To me this is what good design is, aesthetically pleasing while at the same time completely functional, with no excess. Form and function go hand-in-hand and get married in Kelly’s brain. Read more

In today’s over-saturated smart phone app market, it is very easy to over look quality products. From chopping up vegetables, to running through old temples, these games get pumped out quickly, played hap-hazardly, and then forgotten. Catball Eats it All, is a phenomenon is this world of short downloads and shorter attention spans because of its consideration to every detail. Artist, muralist, and illustrator Yis Goodwin hand painted every character, item, and background to create a smart phone game that is visually like no other I’ve ever seen. Though the concept is simple, eat all the items on the course before the dog tries to eat you, this visually stunning game keeps me coming back for more. Read more

Radlands Clothing was started in 2010 by the talented duo of Mathew Gribben and Sheldon Abba. Initially offering only a few t-shirts and beanies, Radlands has been growing steadily and is now offering sweatshirts, jackets, backpacks, and accessories. I really like their low-key branding, clever graphics, and heavy psychadelic influence.
One thing we’ve lost in this MP3 culture is awesome album art. A few people on Flickr have started a group where people pose with their favorite record sleeves and the results are pretty amusing.
Ah, finally someone’s put some thought into the whole attribution thing: who found what first, where, why and when. This flow chart by Loldwell and The System casts an eye over the current state of the Internet and, helpfully, provides the ultimate rebuke for those that, err, flaunt the rules. Read more

Sometimes tests are just too hard. Sometimes they’re just dumb. Funny Exam Answers collects all the funniest and most ridiculous results of students who may not have book smarts, but are quite clever and creative in other ways.
Have you ever felt engulfed by a strange mix of emotions, ones which make you feel all giddy? Well, that’s what this track — Not For All The Love In the World — does to me. French pop-folk extraordinaire Sebastian Tellier remixes Irish pop band The Thrills. Totally luscious and dreamy, especially the glockenspiel sound. Beautiful stuff.
Designed by Australian label Das Monk, this Acid Ice Cream features a digital print on white 100 percent cotton tee. Artwork by Zach Johnsen. Like? Yeah.

Now this is fun. This 3D watch dial actually jumps to life. The dial is a modern version of the 19th century art form of lithophanes: carved porcelain sheets that, when lit, deliver astoundingly detailed images. When the pusher is activated, the dial springs to life in 3D, with an LED light and afterglow effect. Read more
