Tell Sydney how to make it an even more creative and cultural city

Zolton Contributor

By Zolton in New Trends on Thursday 11 April 2013

As Moore says: ‘Can we inspire an even richer creative culture? How do we make sure creative people can afford to live and work here? What persuades people to get involved, go out to shows or invest in local work?’

By Zolton in New Photography on Friday 15 March 2013

These portrait shots by Dutch photographer Morten Koldby capture our furry and feathered friends in much the same way you’d snap a particularly photogenic human. With the animals all staring straight into the lens, you get a sense of the wisdom and insight the lurks just beneath the eyes. Beautiful? Yes. But hauntingly so.

By Zolton in New Illustration on Thursday 7 February 2013

What’s not to like about the fun, fluoro-dripped world of New York illustrator James Blagden, whose work is so bright and trippy, I feel like I need to wear shades just to do them justice. This guy going to be big, big, BIG. If these illustrations don’t do it for you, check out his stunning [...]

Zolton Contributor

By Zolton in New Trends on Wednesday 6 February 2013

Forever: The New Tattoo (a new book from Gestalten)

Zolton Contributor

By Zolton in New Products on Saturday 24 November 2012

I’m thinking of getting some ink work done, so the arrival of this inspiring book from Gestalten couldn’t have been better timed. Forever: The New Tattoo reveals the subtle, and not so subtle, talents of some of the better artists out there, whose different styles and approaches contrast wonderfully across the book’s 250+ pages. Of particular interest was the work of New York-based Thomas Hooper and the esoteric work of Yann Black, but really, you could open the book to any page and find something that you’ll want inked on your body forever. Indeed.

Women read literature while being secretly pleasured by vibrator

Zolton Contributor

By Zolton in Video on Saturday 24 November 2012

Ah, this is novel. In more ways than one. In the Hysterical Literature series, women read excerpts of great literature, trying to stay composed while someone under a table is discreetly pleasuring them with a vibrator. It’s all part of photographer Clayton Cubitt’s new series. In this video above. Support the Hysterical Literature project and benefit survivors of Hurricane Sandy at the same time. Donate using the Tip Jar on this page. 50% of proceeds go to Hurricane Sandy relief, directly to groups on the ground in the effected areas.

Zolton Contributor

By Zolton in New Trends on Friday 9 November 2012

Sniffologists; suckers for punishment … call them what you want, but, hey, someone’s gotta do it, right?
