Paintings by Mugi Takei. Japan. Interesting eyes in these.
Toronto-based art collective Exploding Motor Car has just released my favourite video of the year! The video is for Ohbijou’s song, New Years. The concept is brilliant, and the video is just beautiful.
Watch the video below!
Pitchfork has just released their picks for the Top 500 tracks of the last decade! I can’t believe 1999 was ten years ago.
Let the arguing commence.
I posted about photographer Sam Coldy awhile ago, after seeing his work in our Booooooom Flickr Pool. What I didn’t realise was that he’s also a great illustrator/designer as well!
My good friend Bob Kronbauer has teamed up with Mike Giles and Annie Lam, founders of a Canadian charity called Contributor, to curate an art show called “Smile On Your Brother”. The show features 50 hand crafted, oak skateboards covered with art by artists from all over the world. The boards will be auctioned off, with the proceeds going towards a fund that will supply skateboards to Canadian kids who might not otherwise be able to afford them! The show opens here in Vancouver at Livestock (Gastown) on Monday, August 24th. Be there!
Artists include: Don Pendleton, Thomas Campbell, Andrew Pommier, Mike Perry, Julien Valee… you get the idea – the roster is no joke!
