Record Cover Collages

Yet another reason why collecting MP3s just isn’t as much fun, by Christian Marclay.

Batman – The Dark Side

So listen, I’ll come out of the cave and say I’ve got a bit of a thing for Batman. It’s harmless and it’s not like I’ve bought the outfit and accessories at one of those seedy Batman sites or anything. Well, none that I’d admit to here.
This mature bad-ass version is a model by Thiago [...]

Batman x Memento

I’m not sure I understand what’s going on at the Ângulo blog a lot of the time, but it’s often a visual treat.

Dark Knight’s Revenge

I’m getting a bit of a thing for old style batmen lately. I think it’s the bodysuit.
This fantastic version is by Alessandro Baldasseroni and he’s got lots of other beautifully imagined work on his Deviantart site.

Coworking, Public Spaces and Sniff

This is SNIFF, an interactive work by Karolina Sobecka and Jim George.
“As you walk down the street you are approached by a dog. He is on his guard trying to discern your intentions. He will follow you and interpret your gestures as friendly or aggressive. He will try to engage you in a relationship and [...]

Beautiful Garbage

I’m not one to name-drop for social status baby, but I saw Song Dong and team constructing Waste Not at MOMA in NYC. No interaction of course, we were separated by a glass wall. But really, I was **this** close.
And at the time I thought WTF(?!). It’s 50 years of the stuff the artist’s late [...]

Ronald Wigman: Anything But Square

I work in the art room of a boutique printer’s office and we’ve enjoyed having Ronald Wigman working from our office for a couple of days this week.
We’re especially fond of working with artists, photographers, designers and creatives. For a start, their work is just nicer… but also, we enjoy putting our heads together with [...]

Gotham by Gaslight

I’ve been meaning to give a shout-out to talented local 3D/CG creative Insane Polygons (Marc) for ages.
He’s got a great blog, full of work in progress, intelligent commentary on life, governance and education in Singapore, and his ongoing comic Adventures of Elite Girl.
This awesome steampunk Batman is just finished and if you scroll back through [...]

Marvel & Disney – It’s All About Artistic Synergy

With the bubbling economy, mergers and acquisitions are back, and while the techies are excited that eBay bought Skype, the one that’s turning out to be most fun is the $4 billion dollar Disney-Marvel deal.
Eugene at My Modern Met has a round-up of the Top 10 Disney/Marvel Mash-ups.
Slate’s The Big Money has also dreamt up [...]

Shepard Fairey at Studio No. 2

One of the highlights of my recent trip to the US was a Shepard Fairey 20-year retrospective at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston.
I had a vague understanding of what the Obey work was about before I visited, but seeing its evolution filled me with respect for his vision and discipline, not to mention [...]
