british artist, charlie mackesy has found that etching his way through life has helped bring some sort of metaphysical clarity.
charlie says: “if you look at the paintings, a fair proportion seem to have some kind of angel or spiritual thing going on. I’m aware that this may seem a little odd . . . I’m [...]

when she’s not badgering my colleagues and i to meet work deadlines, katharine rowe creates beautiful collages. mixing her own photography and (i presume) stock shots and/or magazine cuttings she creates textured scenes of juxtaposition, reinterpreting our everyday lived space.
she also takes commisions, to create a unique work incorporating family photos, your own street, pets…

practicing what he preaches, teacher of digital imaging at Columbia College in Chicago, Matt Siber certainly knows how to use photoshop.
either that or he’s been witness to some fantastical happenings as he travels around middle american petrol stations.
taking bright convinence store signage, and largely removing their context Siber creates new relationships between brands and their [...]

a self professed ‘master of pens’, mr bingo loiters around my native hood of Shoreditch. he’s got an amazing range of work with a quirky illustrative style. my faves are these ‘hair portraits’. capturing the true essence of a person through just their ‘do’.
you can also purchase a limited edition run of the mighty boosh [...]

move over wimbledon, and the australian open. it’s all about layer tennis.
so this is the crux: two designers battle it out. Starting with one file a designer is given 15 minutes to embellish it with extra images, flash elements, audio, whatever… the file is then be ‘volleyed’ back for their opponent to give it their [...]

collaborative painters daryoush asgar and elisabeth gabriel create scenes of biblical proportions.
mashing together religious iconography, hedonistic hyper-sexualised party scenes, pseudo-realistic paintings and garish neon scrawlings. the finished product, as you can see is fucking beautiful.
anna thinks it’s a bit like an ad for skins, i think it’s a bit like mgmt’s film clip for time [...]

IKEA are the master of disguises. In the showrooms they make every space functional, every sized living room seems livable, and the exit seems just around the corner. They also make the meatballs and hotdogs quite palatable, pure Scandinavian witchcraft.
these photographs/installations/sculptures perhaps highlight the feeling of an insignificant consumer when traversing across their cavernous halls.
according [...]
