WE'RE SUPPORTING

As someone with a propensity for collecting anything and everything, my current obsession is mid-century paper ephemera. Or, if we’re going to be more specific than that, superbly designed Czech matchbox labels. When I’m not sourcing them myself, I seek them out online.

Creepy Miranda illustrator Aly Bellissimo has transformed Disney Princesses from thin heroines into gigantic, unhealthy, obese caricatures. I’m not sure if there really is a point, but I guess it subconsciously highlights the grave extremity of being too over or underweight.

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.

How neat is the ‘Duna Duna’ Jaws parody shirt by Threadless designer vomitinc? In case you were wondering, the name cleverly evokes the iconic shark movie title’s killer theme song tune.
