Introducing Your New Favorite Party Promoter: Me

Thanks to Chroma for pointing out this killer promotion from Adidas and Vice Magazine. The premise is simple: create your own music festival - design your poster - win a trip to Berlin. The site is a wonderful mess of nauseating colours, offensive audio, and shitty graphic design and it's brilliant! I actually spent 20 minutes fooling around with this and I have trouble sitting through a 2 minute YouTube video. So good.

Fuck The Real World. I'm An Artist: Volume 2

5 Trends FFFFound

I've been using FFFFound obsessively for about a month now and what I find most interesting is the trends you start to see emerge by the images being added (FFFFound) and collected (loved). Here are 5 trends:

1.) Umbrellas

























2.) Illustrated Animals (especially whales and birds)



















3.) Nude or partially clothed attractive women lying in bed looking depressed

























4.) Retro Tech

















5.) Hearts or anything related to love

My FFFFound

Fuck The Real World. I'm An Artist: Volume 1

Sometimes when I get bored, I like to pretend I'm an artist. Unfortunately, I'm just a hack with a creative streak. The result of which is the following. Forgive me.

Rock | Paper | Scissors : 1st Edition

When I'm not on the web reading geeky tech news or brushing up on the latest techniques in exploiting new media, I like looking at art. Or as you may know it - pretty pictures. There is so much great work out there that it would be impossible to show it all. However, from time-to-time (notice my non-committal attitude... I'm working on that) I thought it might be fun to feature three different artist's work that I find compelling. Feel free to share your opinions, share your links and please, save your applause til the end. Enjoy!
