The thought of Santigold and David Byrne collaborating on a track that nods at the political chess moves made by female leader of the Phillipines, Imelda Marcos towards her male counterparts, makes perfect sense to me. The song sounds exactly like I’d expect it to.
Mrzyk & Moriceau created a sexy little music video for Sebastien Tellier in celebration of Record Makers 10th Anniversary. The entire promo works like an animation walk-cycle that is focused on a rear end that keeps changing form. This clip is simple and brilliant. My favorite part is when the buttock’s sprays a perfume of flatulence that looks like diamonds.
Director Dael Oates vision of Purgatory is a place where one is a caught in a loop of sorts, hunting themselves.
The narrative construct of Andy Bruntel’s music video for The Liars track, Scissor plays like something of a train wreck. This one definitely appeals to my more cynical half. And speaking of cynicism and train wrecks, Lars Von Trier has been tapped to direct a new tourism advertising campaign for Denmark.
The Ritual Project documents the creation of a Stella Artois ad that covers the side of a Manhattan building.
UK Channel 4 commissioned Lenka Clayton and James Price to create People In Order, a series of short portrait films that reveal something about life by arranging people in scales:
Age / Human beings from age 1-100.

Love / 48 couples arranged by length of relationship (in descending order).
Home / 73 households arranged by income (400,000 - 3,240 pounds).
Alison Malone’s photo series, The Daughter’s of Job portrays a secret society of girls ranging in age from 10 to 20 years old that are the daughters and granddaughters of Freemasons.
Making creative content that utilizes the help of crowd-sourced strangers seems to be something of a curious trend at the moment. The music video for More is Less is definitely the most impressive and most intriguing approach I’ve seen yet. Currently, almost 13,000 people have uploaded a posed photo to a site that incorporates the video into a newer version of the video every hour - clever, clever, clever.
Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns. Organisers of a British circus recently put on a workshop to help young audiences to gradually overcome their phobia.
I still have yet to see a single episode of True Blood; however; I adore the title sequence. Here you can see the Digital Kitchen designed title-open, as well as the making of.
Nick Jakubiak is something of a bohemian type artist. He use to live on my block, where he spent a lot of time outside. Often he was to be seen smoking and painting pictures of his favorite places in the city, or people he had met. We’d shoot the shit from time to time. A few years ago, he made the move back to his home state of Michigan. I just had a look at his portfolio site and thought I’d share his work.
Killings provoked by Sinatra’s My Way???
