Now THIS is a pop-up. Thanks to the collaborative team — ‘a razor, a shiny knife‘ — a group of unassuming, and lucky, diners enjoyed a six-course haute cuisine luncheon served aboard New York’s L train. Words do not do the concept justice. So have a watch.

Erik Sommer is a New York City-based contemporary artist. Focusing primarily on painting, his work is a conversation between age and beauty, capturing the passing of time through the deterioration of texture. His paintings reflect his urban environment, yet maintain a sense of both fragility and aggressiveness. Read more

I’m really digging the sleek and sophisticated look of these websites created by Pomade, a multi-disciplinary design studio based in New York City. They use simple yet innovative design combined with intuitive interfaces and the perfect amount of whimsy and edge, depending upon the project. Clients include Lady Starlight and StoneArch Construction Company. Check out the cool ad below that they did for my Not A Hipster online store. Read more

Charlie Tippie stirs hip hop, rap and electronic with just the right mix of old school soul and beats. His song, Alone Tonight, makes me want to jump on a plane to New York City for his show on March 19. For now, I have to settle for his seven track Mute album on repeat, each song taking me to different places.

His exhibition debut in New York City was in the critically acclaimed exhibition, Contradictions in Black and White, an exhibition that placed his work alongside Irving Penn, Walker Evans and Ray K. Metzker in 2009. Read more

Paris vs New York City, a tally of two cities, is a cute minimalist graphic design blog about the sometimes tiny, sometimes significant differences between those two metropolis’. Thank goodness we’re allowed to love both of them equally. Read more

What’s better than an event dedicated to preserving t*ts? A Celebrity Ping Pong Tournament benefiting the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund. Yes, that last name may sound familiar. Carol is the mother of Alec, who will be playing for his life (or really, the lives of others) in an epic ping pong battle royale against the models of the Independent Model Agency. Read more

In New York City, hip-hop and graffiti run as tight as Wu and Tang. Queens rapper Meyhem Lauren’s new music video for Got the Fever celebrates this hallowed union in glossy HD. Directed by rising photographer Tom Gould, the video catches the city’s finest street artists bombing landmarks across the boroughs. It’s also a beautiful example of the low-budget, DSLR cinematography that’s fast becoming the next major street art.

Considered considerably less than average in height on their home planet, the affectionately dubbed ‘little monsters‘ grew tired of the constant jibes and fled to the nearest inhabitable planet: Earth. There they lived happily ever after, causing havoc as only giant alien monsters can. They currently reside in New York City.

There are lots of bands out there who’ve written songs praising New York City, but Duck Sauce took their love for New York to a whole new level with their latest single, Barbra Streisand. This electronica/house/disco video takes you on a tour through the city and has you feeling (or desperately wishing) that you’re a New York native.

Marvin Joseph, a fashion photographer who has followed a winding path to Sydney, has found more than a few die-hard fans in the models he photographs, as well the clients that seek him out. He believes that we are born to create and has his sights, and his heart, now firmly set on that creative beacon-of-dreams, New York City. Read more

Miami OHWOW Art Gallery has just opened the doors to its first book club and it’s truly a reader’s nirvana. Located in New York’s Greenwich Village, the micro store resides underneath an historic brownstone building at 227 Waverley Place and features striking decor designed to resemble a classic black and white, pre-war New York City bathroom. Architecture At Large’s Rafael de Cardenas used mirrors, sharp zig-zag lines, fluorescent lights and plenty of black trim to enlarge the 150 square-foot retail space.
Frankfurt-based artist, illustrator and designer Yuri Ustsinau creates surreal silhouetted figures with multiple-limbs and a plastic sheen. I first came across his work on the Behance Network, and have been hooked ever since. Read more
Sofa wants to be double-decker bunk bed. Sofa wants to be double-decker bunk bed. Sofa wants to be double-decker bunk bed. Sofa becomes double-decker bunk bed. This invention by Doc XL is evidently at least seven years old, as this Boing Boing post from 2005 testifies. Surely sofas of 2012 that can transform into an entire backpacker’s inn exist by now? But we still want this bunk bed sofa. Read more

Fashion blogger Tavi is biting, witty, articulate, and stylish for any age. The fact that she’s only twelve makes her kind of over-the-top amazing. Already an accomplished photographer and astute critic of all things wearable, the sarcastic pre-teen is probably sick of being described as precocious, but she’s the very definition of the word.
I haven’t been this excited by a band in a long time. Florida’s Black Kids have crept under — and now over — the radar through a demo and some serious internet buzz from NME and Pitchfork. Not only are they ridiculously good, they’ve also offered their four-song demo — Wizard of Ahhh’s — for free on their MySpace page. Sweet.

We used to depend on sundials back in the day, but now there are multiple ways to tell the time. And Tokyo Flash has just invented another one. Based on LED technology, these watches are not only stylish but futuristic and wildly innovative. They even have a watch from minimalist designer Naoto Fukasawa that is more than just your basic timepiece. The Tokyo Flash site says that their watches are supposed to ‘resemble the various moods of a human’, and they’re definitely an attention grabber. These are watches to take us right through to the 22nd century.
We have a Contribute Section through which you can post onto LAEM under your name about your favourite pop culture discoveries. So help spread the good word about those talented peeps doing talented things. They win. You win. We win!
Now this is fun. This 3D watch dial actually jumps to life. The dial is a modern version of the 19th century art form of lithophanes: carved porcelain sheets that, when lit, deliver astoundingly detailed images. When the pusher is activated, the dial springs to life in 3D, with an LED light and afterglow effect. Read more
