• Crystalline Video by Michel Gondry | Bjork

  Bjork’s long awaited Biophilia project is slowly revealing itself. Today marks the launch of the video for ‘Crystalline’, the first single off of the iPad inspired project set to launch in it’s entirety on September 27.

• Walking in LA

  We’re planning our annual trip to Los Angeles for 2011. We like to go when winter hits the hardest in NYC, that way we feel like we’re cheating Old Man Winter just a little.

• Vanessa Lamounier

  Let’s be honest: there’s no shortage of fashion-magazine-collage art out there. It’s practically a genre in itself. But somehow, Vanessa Lamounier is able to make me look at things in a whole new way with her ugly, fractured, prismatic renderings of skinny blondes and naked girls in knee-highs. Check out her Flickr for more. | [...]
