Australian airline Qantas have always been at the forefront of innovation. Partnering with advertising network Droga5 and publishers Hachette, their latest initiative sees the airline creating a series of novels that last for only as long as the flight. Entitled ‘Stories For Every Journey’, the series is a pretty neat idea. The only we problem [...]

One of my favorite contemporary artists and songwriters, Mark Oliver Everett, also known as Eels or ‘E’, has released an eye-opening autobiography and he doesn’t want to bore you with shit that doesn’t matter. He’s completely honest and it’s an amazing experience to get the full story about his family, his depressive whereabouts and the [...]

At first view, it looks like a normal marble sculpture. However, Long-Bin Chen uses books, newspapers, magazines, and other material that have been discarded as the medium for creating his sculptures. This act of recycling paper-based material informs Chen’s work and the figures he creates are of an odd and extraordinary beauty. Buddha faces, Aztec and Chinese warriors, the human figure, land maps, and entire rooms are magically created out of discards from our ‘paper society’. One of the most interesting sights during Art Basel Week.

Fifty Shades of Grey? Yawn. 99 Shades of Grey? Now we’re talking. Purporting to be ‘a book for people who like the color grey’, 99 Shades of Grey is a real book — following some rather overwhelming support on Kickstarter that had it bagging close to $10,000, well ahead of its $600 goal — with 99 pages of grey shades in progressive intensity. What a brilliant idea.

If you thought you’re local library was a pretty cool place, we bet you it’s not as cool as this. That is, of course, unless you live in Spijkenisse, The Netherlands, and this is your local library. The huge library dubbed Book Mountain is part of a project that covers an impressive 9,300 square meters. [...]

I picked up Too Many Nitrous at a local comic shop in WiIliamsburg, Brooklyn. This self-published zine comic by Billy Burkert and Samuel Rhodes clocks in right at thirty six pages. It’s as if someone rewrote the movie Too Fast Too Furious to make it not obnoxious. If you’re like me and enjoy racing, fighting [...]

Mad Deep Thoughts by Riley Payne is the inaugural book from Perimeter Editions. It incorporates the weird yet wonderful with the formal and classic. Payne likes to think of them as collages; drawings and Google image searches. Using foliage, fruit and the human figure, the works range from smoking carrots, to neon signs, and include [...]

By chance, we stumbled upon the Facebook page of Idrawalot, Karl Addison’s gallery and showroom, where we then stumbled upon some lovely snapshots of Mischief, the whimsical zine of drawings by Berlin-based illustrator Katrin Hagen’s (a.k.a. Mischief Champion) that Idrawalot now stocks. I especially like the one of two foxes looking disapprovingly at a fox wearing another fox as a shrug.

The next book I want to spend money on is Erwin Wurms’s One Minute Sculpture. It contains pictures of Erwin Wurm and other people who pose with everyday objects close at hand. He seeks to use the shortest ‘path’ in creating a sculpture: a clear, firm, and sometimes humorous form of expression.

Already six years old, this book is a must for any Beatles addict or music sound maker. Geoff Emerick opens the door onto the Beatles world through the most interesting angle possible: as an insider. He was responsible for the sound recording for several Beatles albums, including the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, definitely my favourite. Learn everything about every track, and what it historically and technically represents.
