A good friend brought my attention to this impressive little video, and I’m very thankful he did. As children of the digital-creative age, it’s so easy for us to become wrapped up in music videos, high art, fashion and what not. I find it refreshing to be reminded of the wider world. And if a video can achieve that with beautiful cinematography and music, so much the better. Read more

I’ve just finished co-directing and animating a clip with Marisa Lai for Melbourne-based indie pop act Francolin. The super catchy track is already enjoying Triple J airtime. The clip combines frantic, dancy individuals with ecstatic and emotive abstract animation, culminating in a free falling climax that is open for interpretation. The single will be officially launched on March 24 at the Phoenix Public House.

I’m a Melbourne-based music video director, cartoonist, musician and animator. I directed my first clip back in 2009 and I’ve been working towards my dream as a feature length film director ever since. Comics have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’m just gearing up to put out the fith issue of Kahvillen Comics, a quarterly digest choc full of introspective tales, ‘witty’ observations and fart jokes.

Back when they were going by the name Gobble Gobble, these guys released a hefty sum of free digital singles, each more frantic, catchy, poppy, and astounding than the last. Recently redubbed Born Gold, the group released their debut LP, Bodysongs, to entirely unsurprising universal acclaim. Read more

Sam Wallman has recently released his second art/comic book, Being Born is Going Blind. Young and prolific like every forward thinking creative these days, Wallman’s work is jammed full of witty observations, societal critique and chilling world truths. At times his dense line work and blatant opinions can be overwhelming, but after taking a minute to absorb his undeniably considered and coy morals you can’t turn back. Read more

Illustrating some of the 24 hour Punjabi I would have gone to in the West Midlands (the home of AC/DC abroad), Sroop Sunar creates very distinctive and colourful work. I like the way it references colonial imagery and Indian culture, but brings them up to date. Read more

Face Your Pockets encourages you to empty your pockets out onto a copier, put your face down on the glass (eyes closed), press the green button, and then post the results on their website. It’s fun people! It’s also a great way to weird-out your co-workers.
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 boyfriend is your typical guy who likes wearing nice clothes, but has no patience for shopping. So when a recent shopping trip in Byron Bay went into its second hour, I knew I was heading into dangerous territory. I knew I only had about two more minutes before he’d reach his man-shopping threshold, so you can imagine my surprise when from across the store he called out: ‘babe, do you like these shorts?’ And sure enough there he was, elbow deep in a stack of brightly printed boardies by Aussie label, Toggs.

On this Virgin Mary HaloTech watch, the dial is a modern version of the nineteenth century art form of lithophanes, carved porcelain sheets that, when lit, deliver astoundingly detailed images.
