Before my friends at Biggs & Featherbelle urged me to try their Muscle Soak, I’d never been a fan of baths. Read more

I love the work of the Montreal-based silkscreening group Seripop. Their choices of color and gritty, imperfect lines give the impression of ‘test-prints’ at first, but with further inspection reveal a definite conscious approach. [see also Lorin Brown]

Dave Mazzucchelli has been one of the boldest, medium-bending sequential artists of our time. Known best for his work on Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One, his groundbreaking adaptation of Paul Auster’s City of Glass, and the anthology, Rubber Blanket, he’s returning after a near fourteen-year hiatus with a new book for Pantheon in December titled Asterios Polyp.

I’m a big fan of Leila Bell’s work, especially her concert posters. I love the simplicity of her design as well as her signature expressive lines. [see also the poster art of Jesse LeDoux]

Finally someone has found a use for those stacks of colored paper that sit in every office and never see the light of day. I could stare at Jen Stark’s mindblowing paper sculptures for hours and still never be totally sure where she started. Jen is also a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, where I’m currently teaching. [see more of Jen Stark’s work]

When I first heard about The Eight Principles of Fun, I thought it sounded frighteningly close to being a self-help service ad. Read more

I’ve been a big fan of Los Angeles-based Tim Hawkinson’s work for some time now. The vast array of his sculpture, collage, and installation art ranges from the minute — a baby bird skeleton made entirely of fingernail clippings — to the massive — life-sized robotic versions of himself made of hollowed-out cardboard that beat out religious hymns. His insane attention to detail is best experienced in person. [see also the somewhat creepy artwork of Travis Louie]

A new kind of monster movie for our times, Cloverfield delivered a solid 75 minutes of cinema that I couldn’t take my eyes off of. Touted as ‘Blair Witch meets Godzilla’, it’s shot entirely with a handheld digital camera, and though the characters seemed a little artificial and almost tongue-in-cheek, the monster seemed more real than anything I’d seen before. It’s the latest project of J.J. Abrams, creator of Lost, the TV series. [see also the Ian Curtis biopic, Control]

If you’re as big a fan of personal stories and short fiction/non-fiction as I am, you won’t regret checking out the incredible show This American Life, hosted by Ira Glass. It began as — and still is — an hour-long radio program in Chicago, combining found sound footage, field recordings, and narrative, pushing the boundaries of the medium of radio journalism. It recently spawned a TV version on Showtime. Each episode of the radio show is available as a free podcast via the website, and revolves around a theme.

‘Some people call me the space cowboy, some call me the gangster of love, some people call me Maurice, cause I speak with the pompetus of love’. The pompetus of love?! Really. I don’t know what the heck Steve Miller was on the day he wrote that, but I could sure do with some now. Read more
Australian singer-songwriter Ben Lee recently contributed some posts to Lost At E Minor on some of his favourite cultural things and people. We checked in with him to see what sort of head-space he’s been in the time since the release of his latest album, Ripe. Read more
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.

Andrew Fagan, lead singer of The Mockers, the poppiest New Zealand band of the 80s, came around to my place once when I was an impressionable 10-year old with stars in my eyes and a head full of shiny, shiny melodies. Read more
Ninety percent of the time, you can pick a Scandinavian brand from a metric mile away, which is not necessarily a bad thing considering that the Scands have such a refined, clean approach to thinking about clothes. Read more
There are few more joys an artist has in life than coming across great resources for inspiration. Lately I’ve been studying typography, the meaning of words, and then something as simple as trying to find all the ‘7 letter words’ I can so that it might fit into my latest musings. Read more
