Brett Buchanan's small photos of unfocused urban lights are really gorgeous.


Ed Ruscha, Get Outta That Spaceship and Fight like a Man, 1982.
(my favourite thing about this, is how cosmic the blue is beyond the words, like a space blue)


Found on a B3TA Challenge, about monsters.

obama's plan for mortgages, actually seems to care about the containing the excesses of late capital, and is one of the angrier planks in his platform. it continues to make me think he knows what to do in domestic matters, and has little or no idea what to do with foreign policy.



Iradji Moini's Insect Pins. (he is contempary, but looks v. edwardain), all costume, often glass, sometimes semi precious stones, but what i like about them is how sculptural they are.

a map of all the roads in england, scotland and wales, in the style of the london tubemap.

clip stamp fold a show about small architecture magazines, is in montreal from Sept 9. The website has about a dozen examples.


Grace Kelly, Still from Vertigo




Three more videos from Yo Gabba Gabba, my favourite new kids television show.

wellcome one of the largest librarys in britian, put all of their images on line under a creative commons lisc. with a really fantastic search engine.


Renee Gosberry, who as far as i know, does soaps, and records mediocre r and b, sings a miller's song, a great anthem to the libertine. it moves so quickly, and up/down the scales. the song is really fun, like a hoellander, and she is really good at it.

japan perfects the cute persian cat robot.


Matt Damon, Why Wont You Love Me?

Tilda Swinton, why wont you love me?


these photos of theran are mostly worth looking at, for the captions.


Tori Amos makes fun of LiLo, musically

david mcfaerlines collection of stamps is a perfect example of how design becomes shaped by the idea of the viewer, and how each viewer works as their own curators. the stamps are excellent too--esp the crazy space one from mongolia.


Vejia Clemins, Eraser, Painted wood, 12 x 18 x 4 inches, 1967

one of those digital abstract animation
, kind of colourfieldy, and sort of landscapey.

Thai transgendereds and gay men are presently engaging in large rumbles, with knives and fire. the story is from the sun, so its provincally british, and sort of homophobic,though.

the fanta suiteS hotel in west bend wisconisn, has a room in which you can sleep on a giant sandwhich, like oldenberg;s soft sculpture, but functional. i want to visit the fanta suites hotel in west bend wisconsin (25 other themes, including Arabian Nights, Ceaser, and Viking) (I kind of like how it is intended to be a room to fulfill sexual fantasties, and that middle american diner food is as explicitly erotic to enough people, that it becomes part of the pathenon of common fantasy--maruading viking, pirate, toga orgy, diner waitress? (locations thru out the flyover, too!)

thomas adank's photos have a sterility and artifice that become intimidating. They are often underlit, and the narratives that are portrayed have an implied violence (in the second set, the pool of dark liquid makes the implication explicit). Even when he goes outside, his aesthetic is so well contained, and without much emotion. They remind me of staged settings for government or police agencies, esp. the set with the ice bergs, 3, which are obv made of wood, but still looks like they can take down the titanic.


Panel from a GI JOE comic, mid 80s.

sqaure america has a narrative of photos from one womens life. from just before birth to late middle age. a good document of a certain kind of semi-louche glamour.

6 photos of a airshow crash in the uk. clearest photos i have seen of these.

the anchors from cbs 13 in Sacramento, reenact Larry Craig's attempted Washroom sex. Nothing turns me on more than blandly american men attempt acts of kink clearly beyond them.

23 abstract collages from Michael Greenspan. Great use of colour.
