Please Succeed

The Impossible Project just might bring back instant film. The mission is "NOT to re-build Polaroid Integral film but (with the help of strategic parters) to develop a new product with new characteristics, consisting of new optimised components, produced witha a streamlined modern setup. An innovative and fresh analog material, sold under a new brand name that perfectly will match the global repositioning of Integral Films."

I'm not quite sure what that means yet, I just hope some kind of incarnation of my beloved type 55 comes back.

I will go here before I die

I've started making a life list and this one is near the top.
Mark my words. Someway, somehow, I am going to Socotra Island. Pirates be damned!

Yes We Carve

I'm trying to decide if this is a good idea or not, considering the opportunity for a mixed message.

However, getting yourself one of these made into a mask is totally appropriate.

This is pretty fantastic.

Disgusting

While the act itself was indefensible , no one would be the wiser had a citizen (or tourist) not been recording the event.

Of course, Critical Mass is no stranger to police hostility.

Here is a can of worms that had to be opened eventually.

This Scares the Crap Out of Me

Fred and Sharon

These folks are either insane and oblivious or huckster hoax geniuses! I can't help feeling these videos are some sort of coded message being transmitted to other extraterrestrials living on the planet.








Paid Access?

Intelligent Design?

On Saturday I trekked over with my friends to Bed-Stuy to see Nate Hill's A.D.A.M. project. Lying on the floor of his apartment was a human form sculpted out of dead animal parts (see if you can find the puppy). While I did get acclimated to the smell I had to pass on the beer.

This wasn't the first bible rewrite creation I've bared witness to, having seen his more delicate sculptures in glass jars, and even naively participating in a gruesome episode of his cable access show. But It still makes me a little queasy every time.

I'll let others pass judgement on the project, but for those that want to learn more visit his site, stoproadkill.org. if you find yourself itching to be an Rogue taxidermist, why not start with the Chinatown Garbage Tour?

p.s. I appreciate the concerns of animal rights activists but please don't leave any hostile comments. I did not personally make these creations and the animals were dead already and would otherwise be in garbage bins.

Still Creepy

Although many of you more adventurous web surfers have most likely stumbled upon these bizarre creations before, I find it important to remind everyone just how bad one's taste can get. Photoshop is a powerful tool. Please use wisely.

Do something better than watching TV tonight.

In Rainbows

I just got my download of the album. Listening to the first track. Bliss.

It's sounding like it will be worth whatever you decide to pay.

Go get it.

About a Son

I think the trailer speaks for itself. I'm more than interested.

Amazing

Check out her paper sculptures and drawings. Brilliant.

Good Morning

To Do

Hipster Olympics

I live in Williamsburg, ground zero of hipsterdom. From the craigslist melees to the newspaper op eds, the debate, fascination, disaproval, and envy of the label has been a constant hum in the soundtrack of everyday life here. Will this phenomenon will ever wane? Who knows, but it still yields some great satire!
