We caught up with Australian-born, New York-based illustrator, Edwina White, recently. What have you been obsessing about lately outside of illustration? ‘Where does it end? I have been obsessing about curled celery, Ginger Syrup with champagne, about an A Detacher dress, old science charts and Third Drawer Down goodies’. Read more

Ok, his bio says it better than we could: ‘The Reverend is a peaceful, angry man, who lives on the top of the tallest branch on the tallest tree in Bloodsausage Wood. From up there he can see everything clearly, except himself. He stands there all day everyday, swaying in the wind, trying to create vibrant contemporary images, using the surreal characters that inhabit his strange, smelly world. He likes to juxtapose these against various objects and painting styles in the hope that the characters catch the eye of the viewer, and draw their attention into the goings on in the rest of the painting. He envisions his art as a visual equivalent to contemporary music, in that he likes to sample and mix imagery and styles in order to compose a finished piece. The Reverend is far stranger than his paintings’. And so he is. Nice work though. [see also Edwina White]

The bio of Brooklyn-based Australian illustrator Edwina White says it all: ‘Born on the shortest day, longest night in Sydney, White studied Visual Communications at UTS with a spell at Brighton University, UK. After graduating with the University Medal she taught classes for four years at UTS and UWS- while freelancing as an illustrator, fine artist, performer and writer. After her first solo show, 52 Pick-up, Edwina was encouraged to move to New York to continue illustration projects with Kate Larkworthy Artist Representation. International publications include Print Magazine, Creative Review UK, New York Times, Flaunt, Vogue Australia and Japan, Food Illustrated UK and Viking Children’s Books. Edwina’s work has been exhibited in the UK, Japan, USA and Australia. Across and Down (2005) White’s New York debut solo exhibition at Gigantic Artspace, included 57 drawings and collage works, installation, film and animation. Works are now in private collections worldwide, Art In General New York and The Hayward Gallery UK’. Phew! She says of her work, ‘I like a tight brief. A recipe. A score. An alphabet. A puzzle. To pin a thing down, I have to walk around it a bit — so I can find its heart’. [see more Edwina White]

As well as creating some wicked t-shirt designs, American illustrator Noah Butkus has done some really interesting and creative work for Burton Snowboards. He told the Road Trip Nation website: ‘I just grew up skateboarding at a real early age and reading comic books … just drawing and drawing and did that my whole teenage life’. There’s more of his work at his Safe As Kittens website. [see also Edwina White]

Pietari Posti was born in Helsinki, Finland. As his website states, ‘when other kids were asking him to play, he preferred to stay in and draw. Later they stopped asking. Nowadays he spends his days and nights illustrating both the traditional way and by computer, and more often using both’. He works as a freelance illustrator and is based in Barcelona.

With all the subtlety of a sledgehammer (albeit a well drawn one), Porous Walker’s illustration work comes across as fresh yet grounded in a sense of brutal realism. Born as Jimmy Di Marcellis on an airplane from New York to Rome in 1974, Porous confesses these days to be compelled to share his every thought on paper in the form of illustrations, in sculptures, and in his interesting street installations. His work is distinctive for its quirky take on common catchphrases, all delivered with a minimalist colour palette [similar in its execution, in many respects, to the work of Edwina White]. By his own admission, he aspires to put his ideas out there in the simplest form. And he succeeds. But one can’t help but think that there are layers of social commentary buried beneath the bare bones of his sketches. [see also James Alley; Eduardo Recife]

Those in Sydney should pop along to the Kirk Gallery in Surry Hills tonight for the burlesque party to end all burlesque parties. Called Dance Your Panties Off, the night will feature a ‘dazzling concoction of ethereal flyers, aerial artists, harp players and bizarre circus acts’ amongst other burlesque-styled oddities. Sounds like fun. It all kicks off at 8pm. Btw, the feature artist is Sam Smith, a young illustrator working out of the Gold Coast, Queensland. [see also KAS; Edwina White; Javier Gonzalez Burgos]

French electronica producer Colleen’s most recent release — The Golden Morning Breaks — borrows liberally from the rich sonic palette of classical music. It’s a beautifully compiled album which drifts in that dark ether of sonic unease. I interviewed her about it via email and asked her how much of a perfectionist she is with her music? ‘I guess I am both a perfectionist and a non-perfectionist. I do wait for quite a long time between each album because I want to make sure I have something new to say and I am capable of working for a long time on one track until I get it right. I hate to rush things and feel I should only release music that I really need to give to the wider world. But another side of me is not a perfectionist because I don’t believe that the best art is perfect in any way. These are such relative notions. What matters to me most is emotion’. Q: What colour most represents your music? A: ‘Something like the blue of the sea would suit me right now. I love the sea more and more, and the album is partly based on that, many of the titles certainly are linked to water’. Q: What are three things you need to inspire your music? A: ‘Time, peace of mind and good food’.

Forgive me if I ramble but it’s 3am as I write this and I have been well and truly numbed to the biting grip of the mid-winter chill by a strong shot of whiskey and a mind full of needless chatter. Read more

I’ve long been a fan of Brooklyn artist Katy Horan. With a folksy old west, native american aesthetic, Horan creates paintings rich with narrative, like old campfire stories, come to life. Having recently opened her first solo show at the Anno Domini Gallery in San Jose, Horan has created a haunting new body of work filled with abstract lacy patterns and narratives that will most definitely hit your storytime sweet spot.
French design dynamo Jean-Marie Massaud has created a Manned Cloud. A cruise airship with a hotel for 40 passengers and 15 staff, Massaud worked with the Office National d’Etudes et de Recherche Aérospatiale in this proposal. Read more
These vegan designer bags from Matt & Nat are made out of anywhere between 15 and 55 recycled plastic bottles. It also uses no leather, which is a big plus given that according to the UN, raising cattle generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world combined.
I’m so excited to have stumbled across the work of Berkeley, California artist Weston Teruya. On first glance, his work feels purely abstract, like black and white grids with dots of colour here and there, undulating across clean backgrounds. On closer inspection, however, perfectly rendered chairs, life savers, netting, plants and various ephemera come to light. I’m always excited when I come across an artist who can so successfully merge the realistic and abstract, and Teruya does it with aplomb. Read more
Ok, so maybe it’s the extra-strong Brooklyn coffee I’m drinking or perhaps its that the pine coated goodness of Christmas is well and truly in the air, but I’m kinda excited this morning as my wife has just launched her website, Feature Shoot, which is a resource for photo editors, art directors, industry professionals, and pretty much anyone who appreciates good photography. It’s a great way to discover new photographic talent and the website is already bursting with interviews with up-and-coming American photographers alongside that of established photographers who have completed a project or whose work has taken on a new direction.
How many times can we play the same song in different settings? Hmmm, I don’t know. But it is a hell of a song, from a hell of a band, as that uniquely English oddity, Jules Holland would no doubt concur.
Nine months ago Sydney couple Matt Cribb and Bree Carter decided they’d take their relationship to the next level. They started making beats. After posting two home-recorded tracks on MySpace as WOW, they got the attention of New York-based independent label Metal Postcard who agreed to release the duo’s first official pressing. Read more

Our celebrity-saturated culture makes many of us irrationally hateful of the faces we see on our TV screens and magazine pages. Good thing there’s Celebrity PunchOut to let off some of that steam.
1970s and 80s Soviet Union buildings
Cambodian born photographer Frederic Chaubin is the editor of French magazine Citizen K. His photo series on bizarre buildings built in the former Soviet Union during the 1970s and 80s is absolutely fascinating. Read more
Creative advertising packaging
Despite the intentions of many, it’s not so often that advertising — as an industry — truly thinks outside the box. Yet, when executed well, clever eye-catching advertising actually works. It does. As these examples will attest to. Read more
Scanners’ new single Salvation
I love this track by London based rock group, Scanners, which is off their latest album, Submarine. Having toured with acts such as The Horrors, The Wedding Present, The Charlatans, Electric Six, and Juliette & The Licks, Scanners could well blow up in 2010. Figuratively speaking, not literally. No, that wouldn’t be fun.
