One creepy bunny

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Munky King’s cool but creepy geek toy “Black in White”, based on Luke Chueh’s painting with same name is out today. I like it, kinda reminiscent of the creepy Donnie Darko bunny, don’t you think?

“The Greatest”

Christmas of 64

Monday, August 30th, 2010

For all the members of the Commodore generation, including my-geeky-self, it has been announced that a Commodore PC64 is on its way! This will be an Intel Atom-powered PC featuring 4GB DDR3 memory, SATA 1TB HDD, HDMI output, optical drive with either DVD/CD or optional Blu-ray and much more housed in an exact replica of the original beige C64 chassis. Even the keyboard will be a replica! What does it mean? It means that many 80’s gamers’ dream seems to be coming true around Christmas time!

The lady of lace

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

For the cover of their September issue ELLE dressed the lovely Emily Blunt head to toe in lace! For me lace represents the elegance of decadence!

Stairway to …

I don’t know exactly what it is, but there is something about this stylish black staircase which makes me think twice before using it …

No town like the hometown …

Back in the snood

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

The summer isn’t quite over but as usual the fall/winter clothes are hitting the stores around Europe and my very first piece acquired is yet another snood from the Swedish MQ. This year a fully fledged one, much like the ones I liked from the Nicholas K collection. This one even covers my head like a hood and not only my neck. The whole thing goes in a loop and you are meant to warp and drape it like a bedouin scarf. You might even find it looking a bit like the women’s hair scarf in Iran! Like I said the snood is originally a part of the women’s fashion, that’s why it might deem a bit feminine. But unlike the wrist-borne bags this is one feminine attribute which I can conveniently incorporate in my wardrobe, since it translates well into my personal style. Now if you excuse me I’m gonna go audition for the role of Altair in Assassin’s Creed! hehe

Mexicana Ximena

Miss Mexico Jimena (Ximena) Navarrete won the 2010 Miss Universe title a couple of nights ago. Not my favourite candidate to win, as usual, but I think I can reconcile with the thought …

Rough and refined

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Founded in 2004 by the members Akut and Hera (Jasmin), the German street art duo Herakut combines graffiti with photo-realism and psychoanalytical symbolism in their art.

Coming from street respective fine art background they have not only prevented a clash but found a way to compliment each other, to reconcile their seemingly incompatible platforms and individual styles.

As a result Herakut presents a fusion of classic rendering crossed with street style techniques which works just as well indoors as it does outdoors. What makes it more interesting is that all their pieces are spontaneous and intuitive creations on the spot, as direct synthesis of the symbiosis! Making it candid, organic and dynamic.

The same rough and ragged respective soft and elegant features which represents and differentiate the looks of the artists reflects also in their art, not to mention the combination of an innocent appearance and a rebellious attitude. Making it a unique marriage of aesthetics.

Herakut has slowly but surely received international recognition and critical acclaim with several outdoor and indoor exhibitions around the world.

They have also gathered their work in a book by the suitable title “The Perfect Merge“. As a former graffiti artist and a classic art aficionado I can’t help but to find the fine fusion beautiful. Not to mention miss Hera! Anyone who can create in high heels deserves recognition, at least in my book! hehe

They’ll be having a show in Cali September 18, here is a clip which shows some of their creations as well as painting sessions.
