So apparently camels have a really funny way of running. This girl, Alex, owns a pet camel in rural Arizona, and she made this video to show us this fact.

We checked in with Arizona-based artist Nate Ronniger and asked him about the process behind his elaborate creations: ‘In many ways, I think of myself as a director. Situating a still life of mine is like putting on a miniature play. There are costumes, characters and props. I want the plot to be intriguing and clear while I aim to present both drama and comedy. I’m very intrigued with the element of paper. While fashioning paper for the pedestals, foregrounds, and backgrounds, I realized that any idea I have involving color, form, texture, and pattern, can be brought to fruition with this material alone. Torn, translucent, cut, or folded, it can take on any manipulation I come up with in any dimension’.

I’ve posted the wonderfully surreal and vibrant work of Arizona-based artist Joe Sorren many times over the past couple of years, so it was time to check in with him in the workspace from which such amazing paintings are produced: Is your studio more about inspiration or functionality? ‘I was thinking about my studio the other day, and realized that I have had a fort since I was eleven. I guess this is my latest incarnation in a long string of forts’. What distractions to you paint to? ‘Audiobooks and silence’. How many artworks do you generally have on the go at any given time? ‘Between four and eight on average’. Where does the first spark for a piece usually emanate from? ‘If you lead with your hands, the mind will follow. That is a piece of advice my Mother-in-Law gave me once. I usually just begin and see what happen’. [photo by Grant Brittian]

Arizona illustrator Meg Hunt creates some seriously fun artwork, the kind of stuff I would have drooled over as a kid and still consider the bees knees at my current mature age, the kind of work that really takes me to my happy happy place. Dense patterns, and more patterns, texture and color abound throughout her lively illustrations. With a childlike aesthetic, further emphasized by her playful choice of subject matter, you just can’t help but smile when you stumble across her vivacious illustrations. Read more

One would think a life out in Arizona would produce imagery of arid deserts and funny little plants that grow under such conditions. But Joe Sorren’s paintings speak of hope, innocence and another world, with the bright sun rising high into the clouds over an endless ocean of dreams. Sorren’s new painting In the Morning, in the Tide, will show at Alix Sloane’s new gallery in New York later this month. [see more of Joe Sorren's art]
The very humor of Kate Beaton’s latest web comic series, Canadian Stereotype Comics, is predicated on the stereotype that Canadians are too non-descript to really have stereotypes. Plus, Beaton herself hails from the Great White North. Is that totally meta or what?
Being ashamed of your parents is played out. Just dig up some photos of them from back in the day and see how hot they were in the brand-spankin new clothing that your friends are now wearing third or fourth hand and claiming to be so original. Read more
I ran a series of 80s nights in New York last year — showing cult 80s movies and playing classic cuts from that era of kitsch and spice — purely so I could spin After The Fire’s Der Kommissar over and over. Yessir, this was the future of music in 1983. Pity no one was listening.
Ulan Bator is so cock-frosting cold, homeless drunks live in hot water pipes underneath the city. Basque photographer Migel Aristregi travelled to the coldest capital in the world to document the lives of the city’s many homeless residents.
