Daft Punk’s brilliant merchandise-marketing brain trust is doing something that is turning heads, and turning back clocks, to the 1970’s.

Want a “Get Lucky” T-shirt? […]

We’ve covered some of Kidult‘s work here before, some of which we dig (like the  “Suepreme” tshirt), and some others that just seem like publicity stunts. Where the latest effort sits is hard to tell. The French street artist has just launched NoGalleryNoMaster, a site that will enable him to sell his art directly to the masses without the […]

Kelly, Maelstrom and the late DJ Screw to Kanye’s Daft Punk and Brodinski produced […]

After collaborations with American artists KAWS and Futura, the French cognac brand Hennessy turns south and commissions the great Brazilian brothers Os Gemeos to design their latest special edition bottle. The twins from São Paulo dig deep into their native culture to design the “Very Special” bottle, combining their unique somewhat surreal style with traditional […]

So you pre-ordered Random Access Memories way back in 2012, and have been playing it on loop since it arrived in your inbox. You’ve bought the MEDICOM Action Figures for yourself and the LEGO-like MEDICOM Toys for your little cousins.
