Cynthia von Buhler’s Speakeasy Dollhouse is a biographical tale of murder, mafia, and intrigue in New York City told with handmade dolls and sets, in conjunction with an immersive play. It was initially set for a two-night run, limited only to it’s Kickstarter supporters. However, due to overwhelming interest, von Buhler added a Halloween show, and plans to add more dates and locations in the new year.
December 6, 2011 | New Music | by Heather Rose |
The first time I heard Nesey Gallons, I knew his music was special. The melancholy warbling in his voice can transport a listener into another world, where everything is timeless and tragic. His lyrics are stories of lost loves and pining for a childhood that’s long gone. Though he’s been recording music for over ten years, he began to get national recognition when he toured with the Elephant 6 Orchestra in 2008.

In the past, my conceptual portrait illustrations have been mostly inspired by music. But I’ve always been drawn to the things that most people turn away from, and I enjoy illustrating these subjects in a style that is both beautiful and occasionally disturbing. I have just begun a new series called Phobophilia, in which I take common fears and fetishize them. My work is often slightly erotic, and with this project, I plan to turn fear into something a bit more appealing.
December 2, 2011 | New Film | by Heather Rose |
Filmmaker Joe Chang never pictured himself making a film like Present, but after meeting some very interesting and entertaining people (Nesey Gallons, Faith Callaway, Mariana Templin, and Teaadora Nikolova), he decided to combine them with some of his favourite things and see what happened. The result is a beautiful story about an awkward performance artist and his sister taking a road trip to revisit their childhood hometown. Featuring a soundtrack written and performed by Nesey Gallons, the film is hoped to be shown at some festivals in 2012.

David Barth is a thirteen year-old boy with autism from the Netherlands. He has been drawing for his entire life, mostly incredibly detailed illustrations of animals. In his drawing, ‘birds’, there are almost 400 different species of birds. And he knows the Latin names of most of them.
December 2, 2011 | New Photography | by Heather Rose |
The dreamy photographs of Rik Garrett feel as if they could be from a disturbing alternate universe. His unnerving, ethereal images are inspired by early glass plates and tintypes, and his own nightmares. Most of his work is done using the wet plate collodion method. He has also created a few beautiful hand-made books using photographic prints of his work. Read more

The guy behind Random Creepy Guy has a new blog devoted to all things related to bacon. I can’t argue with that.
Lindstrom, the man who single-handedly coined the term ‘minimal space-disco’ (well, perhaps nudged in the right direction by Orbital et al), recently released a new, rather ambitious, album, Where You Go I Go Too. Weaving between ambient trance and breakbeat-flecked disco, the producer responsible for the mesmerizing reworking of that tune we all secretly love, Roxy Music’s Avalon, has produced a worthy follow-up to his 2006 album, ‘It’s A Feedility Affair’. This time, however, there’s only three tracks, ranging between 10 and 29 minutes in length, and the Eno/Ferry influence is thankfully clear to all.
