I wonder if you can get a model train set to emulate the subway… Link [via]

We haven’t seen anything from KAWS in a hot minute and we were starting to get a bit worried we’d run out of unique plastic figures to have a tea party with. I mean, can you blame us? Luckily, KAWS and Original Fake in Japan have teamed up to offer the public this KAWS Stormtrooper. Want one? Too late. People ...

We’ve seen a lot of artists this month. From Nikki Cook‘s comics to Adam Stennett‘s oil paintings, we just can’t get enough! The latest to grace our inbox is Korean artist Jean Shin. The above picture is her sculpture called “Sound Wave,” which is made solely out of melted vinyl records to express the awareness of rising technology which renders ...

Did you love our interview with Evan Dorkin? For a similar style in art (at least in my opinion), check out Nikki Cook’s work at her website. I hear she has a few graphic novels coming out. Might be worth investigating. Link

Why the odd time? Well apparently, according to lore, Leonardo himself followed this rigorous schedule. So essentially, buy the clock, become a ...

This setup, dubbed “Mauritian Sunset ” by UK-based artist Sandy Smith, is made up of a ton of old, obsolete computers and monitors. Together they create a wall-sized installation that produces beautiful colors that resemble a “sunset” of some kind. While I don’t see the whole sunset thing, I think it’d make as an awesome lighting setup for a party ...

Maybe I have issues but I get really excited over beautifully-designed clocks. Maybe it’s the fact that time is so precious, it must be treated with great artistic respect. Maybe I just took too much X in my teens. Who knows. One thing is for sure: The Rim Clock from Jansen Lye will look beautiful in any room. The pointed ...
