The content in these drawings are a complex entanglement of symbols — but the way they are rendered gives it a simple and peaceful aesthetic. As good as the color work is, the simple black and white charcoal drawings of cute animals and stylized humans are exceptional. Check out more of Berlin-based artist Corentin Grossmann’s […]

I met the Sick Girls a little over 3 years ago when in Berlin covering its nascent Nu bass/Euro Crunk scene, and even back then the girls knew how to lay it down. Alexandra Droener and Johanna Grabsch first met as bookers at the now legendary WMF Club, but were bored of the stale sounds […]

As porcelain is one of the finest and most difficult materials to work with, it’s no wonder they demand such exorbitant prices. […]

I’ll admit I like the Palladium look, especially their Pampa Baggy boots like those above. The brand re-launched last July after going out of business in the early 90s, mostly because in this throwback, military-inspired era their rep is bulletproof: the French brand used to make tires for planes during WWII, then when that whole […]
