I’m a Swedish illustrator based in London. At first glance my work looks sweet and innocent; it’s filled with pastel colours and cute animals. But some of the pieces also have darker themes in them. To the North Pole, for example, tells the story of two sisters’ journey to the Arctic where they meet a grim end in the belly of a polar bear. Read more

Clara Besijelle is a Swedish illustrator. She wonderfully mixes art deco type details, fabric prints, and pompus facial expressions with scruffy colouring in. Her style of drawing works well with her story-telling, which is awkward, sophisticated and hilarious. The comic, Good-bye and Wedding Day, is a perfect introduction to her work. Read more

Swedish illustrator Siri Ahmed Backstrom has some very charming techniques up her sleeve. Her work has the feel of a bigger and — dare I say — better version of what your precocious little niece might churn out at the dining room table on a crafty whim. I love her loose, childlike rendering, splashed out in everything from gauche and watercolor to crayon scratch. Read more
Why are images by photographer Jason Fulford so freaking hilarious? They’re not outright puns, but they’re strange and unexpected in a whimsical, mysterious, and sometimes unnerving way. Read more
The coolest Steampunk comic book creation out there. From the talented arm of Joe Benitez, it’s packed with absolutely killer art and storylines that make you wish there was a movie to go drool over. Until there is, catch up on the last four issues, all with collectable alternate covers. Read more
Artist David Shrigley’s animated music video for Blur is so simple, so sweet, so perfect. I don’t know how many times I’ve watched it, yet it still makes me cry every time.
If you drink white Russians and have a dedicated relationship with your house robe and bowling, I have just the house for you. The Dudes house from the film The Big Lebowski is up for sale. Read more
Is the soul colored or is it black and white? I find this quite confusing, since I believe that a colored soul is necessary for producing colored things. But then again, I’m sure that true color often comes from the deepest broken, damaged and divided black of one’s soul. Digital Jacklight is a mission to try and find out.
The pan flutes can get a little much, but I still really like Mariee Sioux debut studio album Faces in the Rocks. I’m hoping she has a new album in the works. Listen to her cover of the Cure’s Love Song below.

Some friendly advice for the neighbours, who simply don’t get it, or street art? You decide which one it is.
A little infectious lollipop rock anyone? Feel free to embarrass yourself singing along at the stoplight. If the other drivers give you that look, roll down the windows and spread the love.

Communication prosthesis by Sascha Nordmeyer
This ‘communication prosthesis’ by designer Sascha Nordmeyer is hilarious and awesome. I want to wear one to a job interview.
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
