Tom Waits and Don Lane have really bad screen chemistry. Lane’s sincere admiration and Waits’s well meaning sacrilege clash like Jesus in the Parthenon. Of course neither is a holy deity, but Waits is more 40s screen star gone wrong than ever before, while Lane sort of acts on as Mother Hen, or as Tom […]

Australian born designer Marc Newson takes his ‘industrial artist’ title very seriously. Having designed practical and functional goods such as chairs, cars and planes, he’s also taken his design skills and applied them to an idea that’s well beyond this earth, as he even designed a spaceship. It’s not all grand-scale and limited edition designing […]

After showing off its latest 2-wheeled creation, the “Gicleur” Kawasaki W650, Australian brand Deus Ex Machina teams up with Makr Carry Goods to create 50 limited edition tool rolls, handmade by the craftsmen of Makr in Florida.

Sartorial accusations […]

British artist Billie Achilleos has crafted these Australian animal icons out of Louis Vitton bags to celebrate the vaunted French luxury label’s 25 years in the Land Down Under. They were commissioned by LV to dress up their flagship Louis Vuitton Maison store in Sydney — the highest level of LV shopping available, the Maison stores only […]

Australia’s Bleeding Knees Club play simple, no frills, direct-to-the-gut pop punk.
