Mark Andrews undertook a project in January 2009 to photograph people in their homes who have placed a variety of personal advertisements: ‘Although I imagined most people wouldn’t want to give up their anonymity, I rightly imagined some would be willing to. And with that de-classified was born. Through the anonymity of personal advertisements, an amazing array and spectrum of human emotions, needs and experiences shows up — love, lust, anger, fantasy, and pain are just the first few to come to mind. The intention of combining the images with the ads hopefully will give the viewer an intriguing view of each subject. Adding the ability for the viewer and community at large to anonymously view and comment on each pieces hopefully will ad another interesting layer’.

This gourmet paint is made by only two dedicated paint makers without fillers, just pigment and oil, like it should be. There is only one store that sells it and it is run out of the Elisabeth Foundation for the Arts building in Chelsea, New York. They have a table set up there so you can play with and mix any of the colours together to see its effects. I usually go to pick one tube up and hang around asking questions to one half of the duo, Gail, and usually leave with five tubes, having learned a lot about the history and the process behind each colour.

I don’t know a lot about The Sugars but I like what they do. Their sound is quite rockabilly but quite modern — like White Stripes. They put out a couple of indie singles and I’d really like to find some time to work with them.
Adidas’ new Star Wars kicks are super-stars. The Storm Trooper helmets on shoe tongues are my favorite. I want Chubaka to wear them.

The return of the Brionvega rr226

Pencils made from recycled newspaper
The problem with awesome things like these pencils made out of recycled newspaper is that you almost don’t want to use them.
