I love these black and grey tattoos by 22 year-old fine artist Jun Cha, who was recently featured in the prestigious Juxtapoz Tattoo II book. Read more

Based in Madrid, Deno creates tattoos and artwork that have an original and energetic flavour. From animals to hot air balloons (and even combinations of the two), Deno’s tattoos explode with colour and geometric shapes. He is always travelling around Europe, Australia and America, so track him down and say hi. Read more

Now this is what we call dedication. In the name of charity, 29 year-old Canadian, Patrick Vaillancourt, is hoping to get 100,000 tattoos of web addresses added to his body within the period of a year. And what’s more, he’ll add your URL too, so long as you donate a lump of money to CARE Canada.

The time of anchors and chinese signs is over. I’ve always been interested in photo-realistic painting and, of course, in tattoos. When I saw a piece by Nikko Hurtado for the first time, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Without knowing what’s actually possible today, I thought it must have been a photoshop montage. Hurtado is one of the best needle fiddlers in the world. He is capable of all kinds of styles but focuses on realism and portrait tattooing. Read more

Frith Street Tattoo is based in Soho, London, and it’s where I go to get my ink done by a very talented Stewart Robson. I base my tattoos on my paintings and Stewart very kindly puts his own spin on it and creates these wonderful images for me with immense detail and precision. Read more

My friend Pauly Lingerfelt has the most cohesive aesthetic of anyone I know, be it his vintage style, old-school black and white tattoos, or the beautiful antique objects he has in his house. His artwork reflects this retro-yet-timeless sense of beauty that expresses something essential about the centuries of overlapping traditions in his native New Orleans. Read more

I’ve always been two-mind about having a tattoo on my body. What to tattoo? Where? How much big? I think this amazing artist could give me some answers. Maybe his beautifully intertwined patterns on my left arm. Read more

I’m a huge fan of getting tattooed and the tattoo culture. I recently stumbled upon Tattoo Age on VBS.TV, and I’m hooked. The series follows tattoo artists Dan Santoro, Grime, Troy Denning, Mike Rubendall and Freddy Corbin as they discuss their craft and the state of tattooing today. With the watered down tattoo reality shows on television, this series stands above and beyond. Future tattoo artists can learn a lot from these guys.

I sort of wish I could go all Weird Science on Black and Gold and turn it into the perfect girlfriend. The space is part record store (the first time I went in, the Gorilla Biscuits’ Start Today was smiling at me from a very well-curated bin of vinyl that took me back to the days of being a nerdy 18 year-old who thought he was hardcore), part coffee house (they serve up some damn good coffee), and it’s also an antique and curiosity shop.

D’oh! Can anyone be trusted these days? First Anthony Weiner acts up to his name, then we discover that the video of a Dutch girl who had her 152 Facebook Friends tattooed on her arm was just an advertising stunt by tattoo artist, Dex Moelker. There goes our plan to get our Twitter Followers inked across our rear ends.

Oh, boy. This Dutch woman has taken her Facebook obsession to the extreme by getting a sleeve tattoo with 152 pictures of her Facebook Friends with this disturbing disclaimer: ‘These are not all my friends. Just the people I care most about’. Yikes! Well, they’re inked for life now. The artist behind the work is Tattoo Dex.

Simon Watts is loosening the uptight world of the tattoo. With a nod to the doodle and the works of Alberto Giacometti, these designs are for those tired of cliche and looking for a new one. You’ll find this wandering gypsy of a tattooist in Los Angeles. Read more

Imagine a tattoo that no-one can see unless it was placed smack, bang under a blacklight? Well, imagine no more. Tattoos are now being done in blacklight reactive ink, and none of us are any the wiser for it. Read more

We’ve had tattooed pigs, tattooed hipsters (is there a difference? wink wink), and now tattooed babies. Well, vinyl babies, anyway. This artwork by Jason Clay Lewis is made from vinyl rubber, mohair, oil paint, plaster, and aluminum armature. Read more
Kyle Bean is a Brighton-based designer specialising in hand-crafted models, set design and art direction. With his pencil shaving portraits, he has created one of the coolest art series’ I’ve seen in a long time. Read more
Joshua Durant offers are a real breath of fresh air when it comes to bird paintings. His paintings present an expressionistic series of birds in which they appear to be exploding or dispersing into space and capture beautifully the birds’ momentum and liberation of energy. Read more
Lasse Gjertsen is the future of cut and paste music. He’s just arrived ten years too early and with a really bad haircut.
Too beautiful to simply pass by, this is the Ring House by young Japanese architectural firm, TNA. Read more
I’ve been reading Julia Wertz’s web comic, The Fart Party, which is simply a first person account of her every day life. The artwork is pretty rudimentary, but that works to the comic’s advantage, making it rather accessible and earnest seeming. Updated every few days, it’s not hard to keep up, and you never have to wait long to get your next fix.
TheStar69 track So What Is The News is the very personification of great pop. In fact, it takes bits and pieces of the best music the The Cult, Hall & Oates and The Steve Miller Band ever recorded and messes it up with a well-honed, Scottish sense of mischief. We like.
We love the range of prints created by graphic-tee fashion label, the-affair. Each limited edition print is produced on beautifully soft American Apparel t-shirts, which is why we’re stocking a selection of their t-shirts in the Lost At E Minor online store. Read more

Michelle Blade’s psychedelic artwork
Michelle Blade’s washed out paintings are deceptively simple, her washy acrylics creating psychedelic textures and conjuring ghostly figures from the past. Read more
Get lost in a daydream or a craving for something sweet while gazing at these cool sculptures by Brooklyn-based WiNK WiNK PONY. Made using clay, tree bark, wood, and mossy moss.
Benjamin Edminston’s psychedelic heads seem to have some fearful wisdom behind their blissed-out eyes. Read more
Pitched as ‘Ulterior Motives in Contemporary Art’, Disorder Disorder is running until November 14 at Penrith Regional Gallery. It’ll be well worth the trip out west of Sydney: the Australian, Japanese, American and European cast reads like a warriors of street art roundup and includes Mike Giant, Ed Templeton, Anthony Lister [artwork above], Ozzie Wright, and Jonathan Zawada.

Mathematics? Leave me out. Fashematics? Now you’re talking! This gem of a site is a runway equation that adds up to a whole lot of wonderful.
A tribute to the movie trilogy Back to the Future and that childhood fantasy, the Hoverboard, and designed in the style of a vintage comic book ad that promises the earth but delivers very little, this sexy five colour screen printed t shirt is by New Zealand-based label Cuppa t shirts. Read more
