The Micheal Lau (sometimes known as Crazy Smiles) Garden(palm)er collection continues. You may remember last installment from this past Spring, created in conjunction with How2Work toys. The third Garden(Palm)er Series finally shipped in late December after having preorders booked back since Summer. Each 10-piece set of 1/12th-scaled articulated figures went for $650, the toy figurines standing at about 18cm and having 16 […]

Taking sliced up music from The Beatles’ peerless White Album and layering acapellas from Jay-Z’s legendary farewell (yeah right) LP The Black Album, Danger Mouse unknowingly crafted perhaps the best known oeuvre in the mashup genre. While Danger Mouse was at the time only […]

German artist Michael H Rohde makes our eyes struggle with orientation in his work series of photographs which feature utopian views of interior space that challenge our perception.

There was a time when I was so broke, my favorite friend on a Friday night was a chilled 40oz of Olde English 800 (St. Ides, Mickey’s and Crazy Horse all making decent substitutes).
