I like the quick mix of Flash animation with real-world graphics…if at least for even a second. Created by the Gobelins, a French animation crew made up of Rémi Bastie, Jean-Baptiste Cumont, Clément Desnos, Jonathan Djob Nkondo and Nicolas Pegon, I guess you could call this a modern retelling of the parables…only with Technics and […]

Elevating the magazine to new heights
To call Visionaire a magazine is like calling Lawrence of Arabia a movie. They take the medium and elevate it to another level — literally. Oftentimes the issues aren’t even books, printed on paper or even contain readable text. For instance, some “issues” have included the Sound Issue (53) which consisted of five 12″ vinyls […]

The fact that it’s in Euros fools you into a momentary sense of financial safety, then you realize that 420 Euros is actually about $620, and it skyrockets that Melton wool Duffle Coat right outta […]
We’re admitted magazine fiends over here at LIAS, and it’s with great sadness that we’ve watched many of our favorite titles submerge in the last year (RIP Swindle, BPM, Portfolio, … but good riddance, Blender). That’s why we’re pretty stoked to see the launch of Fixé Magazine, a French publication focusing on the rise of […]

A truly fucking twisted, but aesthetically gorgeous, animated film inspired by the work of French illustrator Muzo. Amazing…
