The Grounds: a gastronomic playground in Sydney
Reader Find
It’s not often you arrive somewhere for a lazy breakfast on a Saturday morning, to find a DJ pumping out tunes, a clown and a fairy doing wacky things with balloons, Italian cheese makers kneading mozzarella, chickens pecking about their coop, and row after row of impressive veggie patches. It’s a complex and seemingly chaotic package, but somehow, it all melds together, in a civilized, serene and incredibly cool oasis that’s attracting Sydney’s foodies in droves. Set in an old pie factory in the industrial suburb of Alexandria, The Grounds is almost more of a concept than a café or restaurant – a vast, gastronomic playground.

Guitar Pee Urinal lets you play a guitar solo as you tinkle
Contributor
Scrap the bacon alarm clock, forget about Apple products, Penicillin, and the Vizini. This invention leaves them all for dead. Yup, the Guitar Pee urinal is designed to create beautiful music: simply pee into the urinal and the sensor mounted strings produce different notes which then resonate through wall mounted speakers. Oh, and you can even download a, wait for it, MPEE3 of your efforts. And we all know how sweet that bathroom echo is. You’ll have to go to São Paolo to experience it. It’s the work of Brazilian agency, AlmapBBDO.

Gabriel Neale
Reader Find
I came across Gabriel Neale’s paintings on the Internet whilst researching references for new paintings. I instantly loved the dark and strange figures in his paintings and the way he uses colour. His paintings feel like a mix between the loneliness of an Edward Hopper painting, with the darkness of Francis Bacon and Jenny Saville.
