Tom Fruinis a Brooklyn artist who just completed HOTEL, a new sculptural work made from colorful scavenged signage collected from all corners of the city over the past two decades and fronted by four-stroke red neon. The signs are made with hand-printed fruit and pizza, air conditioner repair advertisements, warnings, and phone numbers, all found in demolished pizzerias in DUMBO and in old warehouses on the Bowery. It’s a 50 foot tall marquee on the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Read more

My latest work represents a candy colored future where synthetic and human features are hard to distinguish, yet will be equally as beautiful. ’Hot Guys or Androids’ could be the alternate title of the series. The opening party is tonight at Yashar Gallery in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, between 6-10pm. Read more

Lo-fi pop aficionados Honeydrum have a new video for the B-side of their upcoming 7 inch called Stranger Calls, which is coming mid-April on AMDISCS. This song is called Suddenly Heaven and is suddenly over (short song!), which will make you play it a few times in a row because its so sweet. The Stranger Calls 7″ will be paired with a CD EP titled Do U Party.

At first glance you might think you are in the middle of a Sim City when you look at the architectural lettering of London-artist Jing Zhang. Little people working, climbing tiny ladders, boxing up stuff. Unfocus a bit and you will find some very modern hieroglyphs that would make some future kid happy to learn the alphabet. Read more

Jump from Paper is a powerful pop handbag line frome Taipei-based design duo Chay Su and Rika Lin. Surreal in their simplicity, but amazingly cool, these cartoon-like bags would make you stand out in a crowd and might also make Jessica Rabbit swoon. Read more

Thieves Like Us has a new song called Stay Blue, and as usual, it’s a cool video montage from some obscure old movie. It’s a little disturbing, but also n amazing mix of synth bliss and video cut-ups. Their new album came out on March 20.

Back from the Grave is Chromatics fifth single from their album, Kill for Love, shot on location while recording at Rossini’s Chalet in 2010. Very shimmery, very smooth, it really is pop perfection. You might recognize the band from the soundtrack to Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive.

I dig the new Gorillaz video for DoYaThing, featuring Andre 3000 and James Murphy. It may just remind you of your house in college. You can even download the song for free.

Check out this tripped out video by Diplo and Oliver Twizt. Just watch GO and zone out to greyhound dogs that dissolve and reappear, releasing that last bit of LSD stuck in your spine from 1989.

There will be eight consecutive nights of music by Kraftwerk at the Moma between April 10-17. Each night will consist of a live performance and 3D animation of the studio albums Autobahn (1974) thru Tour de France (2003). I’m going to hit up my favourite album’s night, Radio-Activity (1975) on April 12. Read more

Funky new clothes from the Fall/Winter collection of Jeremy Scott. Check out Bartman, funky emoticons, and other random goofiness. The first time you look you may shriek in horror, but after a few looks you might warm up to a melting smiley face on your chest. Read more

I love the movie Koyaanisqatsi and the whole Qatsi trilogy by Godfrey Reggio and I really don’t think you should watch the following clip unless you have seen the films. But this is pretty amazing to watch for those of you who would love a refresher. Koyaanisqatsi speed up at 1552 percent speed is an exciting 4 and half minute romp over the world and a glimpse into the things that destroy it. Not as good as the real thing, but a great refresher. I do miss the Philip Glass original music and the pace of the original, but this is perfect for those of us with ADD.

The video for Honeydrum’s new song, Traci’s on the Phone, is sort of a warped 80′s k-hole of that era’s graphics and fashion. It’s cheesy neon bliss for the masses, taken from the EP from AMDiscs called Pleasures of the Sun.

I’m loving the wild and wonderful work of graphic artist Zansky. Working in silkscreen, letterpress, and woodcut, Zansky has his finger on the pulse of some acidic heartbeat, pumping out some freaky imagery for the masses. Read more

Fashion blogger Tavi is biting, witty, articulate, and stylish for any age. The fact that she’s only twelve makes her kind of over-the-top amazing. Already an accomplished photographer and astute critic of all things wearable, the sarcastic pre-teen is probably sick of being described as precocious, but she’s the very definition of the word.
Every now and then you encounter a band whose sound cannot be confined to CD, Vinyl or a MySpace Music Player; a sound so incredible that it must be experienced first hand, in the flesh, where it can do some well-deserved damage to your eardrums. Sydney’s Dead Farmers are one of these bands. Read more
Nono Muaks makes some pretty quirky products that would make great novelty gifts, but I don’t quite get this Double TEE, which has no front or back: it’s a ’360 degree experience’.
