The many posters of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Contributor
When a film is released today, it’s treated as a brand. Like a burger chain’s logo, artwork for posters and Blu-ray covers barely change between markets. But back in the 70s it was a different story. So when indie horror The Texas Chainsaw Massacre deservedly became a global sensation, distributors from Germany to Ghana had [...]

The Metallica Tarantula
Contributor
Hey kids, let’s go spider shopping! If you’re a leather-clad, head-banging metal fiend, your pet of choice is surely the tarantula. But if you want to go the extra mile, that tarantula must be … wait for it … the Poecilotheria Metallica, aka The Most Badass Pet Of All Time. And if its name isn’t [...]

The Every Woody Allen Movie website
Contributor
The writer-director of over 40 feature films, Woody Allen never re-watches his work once complete. But should he ever throw neurosis to the wind and dust off an old Blu-ray, Trevor Gilks can be his tour guide. He’s watched every movie Woody’s made, and written a detailed review of each. It’s heartening to know that [...]

New illustrations by Australian artist Liz Anelli
Contributor
While Liz Anelli’s illustrations have amused and delighted kids, they’ve also provided a useful public service. Making cartographers feel as creative as a block of discount cheddar, her hand-drawn street guides are both fun and practical. Let’s hope Google Maps commissions a re-design.

Playful art by Newcastle painter Jo Dyer
Contributor
Dreamy and playful, with a touch of melancholy Jo Dyer’s work would feel equally at home in a children’s book or a West End gallery. Like a child lost in a shopping mall, the wide eyes and kaleidoscopic palette paint a fragile beauty. You’ll see her work in fashion magazines and on cd covers, and [...]

Paintings by Australian artist Trevor Dickinson
Contributor
‘Someone should paint that bus shelter’, said no-one ever. That is, until Trevor Dickinson rode into town. With an eye for quirk and colour, his paintings encourage you to look twice. The contours of a diving platform may not be standard landscape fodder, but perhaps that’s why they attract his eye.

Beep Bicycle Bells by Jana Lindstrom
Contributor
The humble bicycle bell has been left unadorned for too long. Alas, these shiny canvases have finally found their calling with a Beep Bicycle Bells make-over. But they’re more than a snazzy way to warn pedestrians. By pimping your ride with one of these babies, you’re helping disadvantaged people find employment. And if that doesn’t [...]

Six ridiculously clever faux trailers
Contributor
The faux trailer is strange breed of short. Basically a pisstake on archetypes, they’re often part of a full-length comedy, and in many cases they’re the highlight. (Tropic Thunder, we’re looking at you.) Here are 6 of the best, including one which wants to sell you a fridge.

Mind-bending Walking Illusion Halloween costumes
Contributor
In an attempt to out-do their neighbours’ costumes on Halloween, folks are going to wonderfully absurd and inventive lengths. If you have a spare $2K, consider a ‘Walking Illusion’ from Stagecraft in the USA. The Donnie Darko bunny no longer cuts it.

Post-It Note drawings by John Kenn
Contributor
Next time you scribble ‘buy milk’ on a Post-It Note, you’ve just deprived John Kenn of a canvas. This Danish artist conjures creepy monster scenes worthy of a midnight movie marathon, all compacted into small yellow squares.

Artist makes self-portraits under the influence of every drug
Contributor
Imagine if William S Burroughs preferred paintbrush to typewriter. His drug-fuelled flights of fancy may have resembled the work of Washington D.C artist Bryan Lewis Saunders, who made self-portraits under the influence of, well, pretty much everything. What’s a little brain damage in the name of art?

New illustrations by Nithin Rao Kumblekar
Contributor
Indian illustrator Nithin Rao Kumblekar combines bird’s-eye-view happy snaps with hand-drawn illustrations. On the cool-o-meter, they give Fonzie a run for his money, so it’s no wonder he’s attracted Vodafone, Pepsi and IBM. Though I think his true calling is really personalised business cards. Something to consider Mr Kumblekar?
