Dammit, Banksy is a legend. Not content with smuggling his work into international galleries, satirising the snooty nosed high-end art world, and making searing commentary on big ticket talking points, the British street artist has now weighed into advertising with a damning critique of how the industry makes itself more powerful by making the rest of us feel completely inadequate. To read his full manifesto, click the More link. It’s very insightful, brilliant material. Read more

Graffiti artist Tilt has just completed this half-graffed room for French hotel Au Vieux Panier. Similar to the Carlton Arms in NYC, the interior design of each hotel room is on annual rotation, inviting world-renowned artists to make their mark. Panic Room by Tilt is just one of the amazing designs, split half-way down the middle creating one side of chaotic colours and the other bright white. Read more

In India, ‘fashionably late’ is safely replaced with ‘predictably late’. Cow blockades, politician escorts, and cratered roads, compound the problem and offer a valid excuse. So when you reach half-an-hour after the appointed time, you don’t explain yourself. You wait for the other person to arrive. We used this life insight, and added some dark humour to it. Read more

Just when you think you’ve seen everything that can be done with LEGO comes this: a LEGO train graffitist. OK, mind firmly blown. The song by Skream ain’t bad, either.

Days go by with a blink of an eye. Here is a sure way to make an impact on what day it is by bubble popping the date into the calendar. It could be considered the new stress ball? Or just a moment in your day to play.

Stuart Gibson is a photographer from Tasmania. His introduction to photography was one of accident. A car smash saw him hobbling on crutches and plastered up to a dangerously itchy level, but this forced shore leave proved to be a blessing in disguise as soon as he picked up the camera. Shooting from the beach on a pre-loved Canon film rig, Gibson realized he had found his passion and his true life calling. Read more

Lana Sator snuck into a space rocket factory near Moscow and took these stunning photos reminiscent of lost scenes from some epic sci-fi movie. Whilst the site might look decrepit and abandoned, the factory is fully active and the Russian government is not impressed with Sator’s little adventures into forbidden territory. The authorities have sent her letters saying that her situation will get ‘much worse’ if she keeps posting photos from the factory. Read more

Seems bombs and heavy artillery weren’t the only hazards during the Second World War, as this wicked collection of Anti-Prostitution Posters from the How To Be A Retronaut website alludes to. Read more

What’s most interesting about this set of vintage tips for single women is how little has changed in the intervening 74 years. Whoops, did I say that. Bite my tongue. Or yours. Read more

Lee Jeffries began his career as a sports photographer in Manchester. But a chance meeting with a homeless girl living in the streets of London changed his life forever. Following this encounter, he decided to make a series of raw portraits of homeless in black and white. The result is absolutely stunning and compelling. Read more

Tyree Callahan has created a phenomenon. The Washington-based artist took a 1937 Underwood Standard typewriter and transformed it into a functional painting tool by swapping letters for colours. The project was his entry in the 2012 West Prize competition. Read more

In 1949, renowned LIFE photographer Gjon Mili visited Pablo Picasso in the South of France. Using a small flashlight in a dark room, Picasso created wildly free and fluid drawings while Mili snapped away. The resulting images are, erm, electric. Read more

Is this the greatest invention since sliced bread? Well, for meat eaters, perhaps. The Wake N’ Bacon is an alarm clock that ‘wakes you up with the smell of cooking bacon instead of a buzzer’. Yes, that’s right: ‘The aroma wakes you up, then you can open the oven component and eat the bacon itself’. Brilliant! Now, if it could only perculate a pot of coffee too. Read more

We’re in danger of being a little obsessed with this sort of thing at the moment, but this Earth time-lapse video is just too beautiful not to be shared. Be warned, the shots of the Aurora together with the ambient music track are fairly trance-inducing. We take no responsibility for loss of work hours.

Oh no, has it really come to this? A new range of colognes being sold out of a strip club in South Africa enables men to spray themselves with a selection of ‘smells’ to provide an alibi for why they’re home late. So which one is it, men: are you ‘working late’ (cigarettes, coffee, ink and wool suits), have a ‘broken down car’ (fuel, burnt rubber, grease, oil and steel), or ‘been out sailing?’ (fresh ocean spray, sunscreen, aqua and cotton rope).

The Mayuko Kanazawa Leg Hair Font was borne out of a design project at Tama Art University which called for the design of a new font without using a computer. Student Mayuko Kanazawa took the brief and ran with it, so to speak. The result is this wonderfully unique and creative font. Kinda hair-raising huh?

I dream of owning a bicycle that allows me to play records on its wheels so I can show punks in their souped up jeeps a thing or two about pimping out a ride. Hence, I am excited to hear this protype was just unveiled at Dezeen Platform exhibition by Dutch designers Merel Sloother, Liat Azulay and Pieter Frank de Jong. My day is coming. Read more

Scottish artist Paul Cadden crafts meticulous hyper-realistic portraits from pencil and graphite. Of his art, he says: ‘The art created from the photo is used to create a softer and much more complex focus on the subject depicted, presenting it as a living tangible object’. Indeed, if you didn’t know better, you’d swear they were photographs. But they’re not. Remarkable. Read more

Heidi Klum and her husband, Seal, seem to be upping the ante with their Halloween costumes for the past few years. Klum recently dressed as a skinless body, which I think is one of the best costumes I’ve ever seen.
Japanese photographer Mitsuko Nagone has an eerie fetish for inserting random items into her distinctively constructed photos. And it works. She regularly contributes to Getty Images. Read more

The sound New Zealand band The Brunettes make is Hallmark card pop — naïve sincerity mixed with low-fi, casual kitsch. Says chief songwriter, Jonathan Bree: ‘You’ll find us somewhere between US punk and just before classic 60s romps’. And so we will.
Too sweet for words, these beautiful hoop earrings by Sydney-based designer Carmel Taylor are a real touch of origami for your ears.
