Handmade in London, the Jewelry Plot collection celebrates the humble data behind mighty economies: commodity prices. So the story goes Lisa Prince, a strategist at Wieden+Kennedy, sat in meetings staring at data, and noticed that by squinting a little the data would transform into something beautiful. Then she met art director Nicholla, and they had […]

Fans of Arrested Development should be pretty stoked about The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret. Once again pairing up David Cross and Will Arnett, the British show revolves around the rather pathetic adventures of Todd Margaret (played by Cross), an ineffectual American loser sent to London to head up the promotions for an energy […]

This London-based fashion design house is so much more than a clever name. S***R’s shoes are unique in their simplicity, though they never forget to add a little spark such as blue two-tones or perforated leathers. I haven’t had the privilege of getting up close and personal with these yet, but it seems the quality […]

They’ve also released posters for London, Los Angeles, Berlin, Tokyo, Baltimore, Cologne and Venice, and just for […]

This contiguous USA-shaped bookcase was designed by Israeli architect/designer Ron Arad, who is now Professor of Design Product at the illustrious Royal College of Art in London. Constructed of both Corten steel and mirror-polished stainless steel, I’m not sure how much it costs or who I’d have to club over the head to snag it […]

It sounds like a genius idea: Reinvent stuffy, intellectual Sherlock Holmes as a depraved, brilliant, rakish, martial-arts expert, cast Robert Downey Jr (Chaplin meets Iron Man!) and hire an actual actress, instead of a hot chick who can recite lines, to play the love interest! Finally, hire Brit Guy Ritchie to turn this puppy into […]

Review by Dick Dastardlee I’m never one to search for flaws in musical genres I admire, let alone towards pioneers who are so brave as to progress the evolution of the art, but something about Caspa’s latest release, Everybody’s Talking, Nobody’s Listening, left me feeling a bit empty (out November 24 on Fabric/Sub Soldier). 2009 […]
