New Fashion / The Martinez Design Project
January 29, 2010 | New Fashion | by Gerry Mak |
I generally don’t like t-shirts so much, but I really like the ones at The Martinez Design Project, the Etsy store for designer Leslie Martinez. Her work transcends the glut of silkscreened clip art in the DIY aesthetic.

Well, let your fingers do the talking with Wendy Brande’s new Swear Rings. The set of four sterling silver rings will set you back $375, which is a pretty reasonable price for venting your frustrations in times of need.

New Fashion / Rate My Mullet
January 18, 2010 | New Fashion | by Zolton |
Were mullets ever really ‘in’? Okay, so David Bowie rocked a decent one during his Aladdin Sane period, but then Billy Ray Cyrus went and ruined it all with his tangled mess. Amongst the hirsute members of The Rate My Mullet website, this ubiquitous hairstyle has clearly never gone out of (or perhaps, more likely, into) fashion. Now you can vote on which mullet takes the cake. Metaphorically speaking, of course. Read more

New Fashion / Arty tats for hipster bodies
January 16, 2010 | New Fashion | by Zolton |
I don’t have any ink, but if I was to get some, I’d probably get it done by French artist Yannou — if only to blend in amongst the swathes of hipster cats that swagger down the streets of Brooklyn. Ah, yes, conformity is safety in numbers. Wink. Read more

New Fashion / Lovey and Dovey t shirts
January 13, 2010 | New Fashion | by Michelle Wilding |
Lola and Alex are the couple behind Lovey and Dovey handcrafted tees. I’m fond of their minimal use of erratic patterns and overexposed photography prints that front their tees. Although they’re all made in a men’s small only, this one-only size still looks pretty snazzy on us females, too.

New Fashion / Gizmo Skirt by Brian Lichtenberg
January 12, 2010 | New Fashion | by Gerry Mak |
I know at least five or six people who could make you a Gizmo skirt for like $50 or a couple cases of beer. But if you really want to pay $2,100 to buy the one by Brian Lichtenberg, I won’t stop you … I’ll just spill water on you.

New Fashion / Tights are not pants
January 11, 2010 | New Fashion | by Andy |
I disagree, but the Tights are not pants manifesto is pretty funny. There’s some history and arguments on why tights shouldn’t be worn as pants, and a downloadable kit with printable flyers to spread the word. A commendable effort. Do you agree tights are not pants? I’m all for tights as pants, as long they’re, ahem, worn well.

The master of the minor key lament, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone is not quite as alone as he thinks he is. Or is he? Hmmm, that’s kinda deep. Anyway, we interviewed him recently. Read more
Colorful is certainly the word when talking about the work of UK artist Simon Wild. It’s hard to be in anything but an upbeat mood after staring at all the swirling colors and bright shapes for even a minute or so.
This odd, atmospheric animation by web artists Aaron Russ Clinger and Miltos Manetas is simple but effective, a finely rendered piece of interactive art. There are some pretty crazy things you can make the floating man do if you play around with this long enough.
There are two kinds of metalheads: those that are drawn by the hyper masculine, angry, aggressive aspect of metal, and those that are drawn by its Wagnerian drama, themes of pagan nature worship, and disdain towards modern civilization. The line between the latter and hippies is quite thin. I am one of these sorts of metal fans, which is why I also really love bands like The Lickets, an empyrean, luminously beautiful, experimental folk collective. They make music that makes you feel like a tiny speck floating in the vast oceans of existence, perfect for a night of star gazing, just like Burzum’s fourth album, Filosifem.
There’s a shop on Smith Street in Melbourne where all young designers go to live. In.cube8r supports all things craft and handmade in Melbourne, running like a long-term market, with the gallery divided into different areas that the artists lease for a tiny cost. There are more than 75 of Melbourne’s top crafters on show and the gallery is always looking for new designers.
Not much more needs to be said about this. Ricky Gervais, the funniest man in

Forget battery powered vehicles. Cars made from ice are the future of transportation: no pollution, no honking horns, no painful rap music blasting out of souped up stereos. And if they melt, they melt. You just swim the rest of the way down the slipstream.
Good thing Kris Kuksi channelled the trauma of growing up with an alcoholic stepfather, his disdain for ‘the typical American life and pop culture’, and his fascination with the macabre into obsessive, baroque assemblages, paintings, and drawings. Read more
I live the upbeat, feel good tempo of the new single — A Hundred Hearts — from Philly group, The Swimmers. Off their latest album, People Are Soft, this song is a strangely fitting anthem for the blustery day outside.
