Hennesy Youngman has been a busy man. In between getting written up by Gawker and the New York Times, he’s uploaded two new videos. The first a critique on performance art, the second an open call to contribute to his group show in Chelsea, New York called “It’s a Small, Small World.” I think I [...]

Beautiful execution of a series of photographs / logotypes entitled “Stop the Violence” created with human bones. Via FFFFound. When Francois Robert unexpectedly acquired a human skeleton in the 1990s, he knew he had to do something wonderful with it. Several years later when the economy collapsed and he found himself with time on his [...]

Never can get enough of Stephen Powers and his wit / aesthetic style. There’s something so satisfying about having any one of his pieces hanging on a wall at home – from the colors and simplicity of design to the sarcasm. The pieces we have collected over the years truly bring a smile to my [...]

Cris Cleen, ultra-talented artist and tattooer recently did some beautiful erotic-themed ink on comedian Margaret Cho. Cho writes an absolutely lovely description of Cris’ work and her desire to get tattooed by him. I was super stoked she mentions the short documentary I shot on Cris, and thought this was so cool that it resonated [...]

Randomly saw this video on Liveleak of MIT’s High-Low tech group’s project on a “kit for sketching electronics”, in which a designer is able to stick some crazy looking electronic components to a piece of paper and then draw with a pen to create a circuit. It’s really interesting at the end where an interface [...]

On our Christmas vacation we were very stoked to make it down to Niland, California to visit this colorful mountain installation called “Salvation Mountain” I previously blogged about back in August. It was about an hour and a half drive from Palm Springs, and a little difficult to find (we asked the locals), but it [...]

It was in Paris in 1927 that he created the miniature circus celebrated in this film. The Parisian avant-garde would gather in Calder’s studio to see the circus in operation. This film exudes the great personal charm of Calder himself, moving and working the tiny players like a ringmaster, while his wife winds up the [...]

Have always loved H.R. Giger’s work, but this bar looks fantastic in his museum located in Gruyères, Switzerland. Take me there, give me a drink and put on some Ali Renault, and I’ll be happy.

Fresh off the presses internet! Hennesy Youngman talks some time off the rigorous and exhausting art scene to discuss his new drink of choice, “Sun Over North Philly”: Sunkist and Woodford reserve (brown liquor). Complex flavor profiles and deep side-talkin’. I’ll drink about 15 of those bartender. Love this guy.

Seems Kidult is on a new tee-shirt launch, no details, but all concept and ironic angst judging by the title. Can’t wait until Highsnobiety picks it up. Love this guy. Keep up the good work, keep it left. Tee shirts graphics suck, but do what you gotta do and keep it accessible until the next [...]

This stuff is so cool. Today, Neatorama posted a new work called “Fantasic Voyage”, with a ship and sea serpent shoe lace. Check out their web site for more photos of these sublime micro works of art. I love how the works seems like tilt shift photography, but are really just small sculptures.
