Joy reminded me of the gorgeous fabrics from Umbralla Prints the other day and I just had to show them too here on Bloesem….the prints are soooo beautiful and I am now hooked on Amy’s blog here and Carly’s blog here …
Umbrella Prints is an Australian textile house started by Amy Prior and Carly Schwerdt and needless to say much more when seeing a chair like this covered in one of their fabric designs … 🙂
Hailing from Austin, Texas, electronic rock band ArcAttack performed daily at the Gizmodo Gallery with their singing tesla coils and robotic drummer. With some modifications to their home-made telsa coils which are explained in the video, not only can they produce lightening, but sound as well–how badass is that! A little dangerous yes, however so far, so good. They’ve performed over 300 live shows without incident, although they once tackled a cop to save him when the police shut down a rave, and the kid exhibiting next to ArcAttack had his wi-fi card fried the first day the gallery opened.
Like many electronic musicians, they craved the authentic live sound that only comes from a real drum kit. 2 months after one of those parties where you talk at length about such things, their friend turned up with a working robotic drum kit. He’d spent 15 years building animatronics for Disney and was able to make the whole thing out of spare parts in garage. Click through for pics and to watch ArcAttack perform the classic Doctor Who theme.

5 Cromwell Place housed three different shows this year during the London Design Festival. Young Creative Poland was organised as part of POLSKA! YEAR, aiming to bring Polish culture to a wide UK audience. It showcased a group show of emerging young designers from Poland (as for example Tomek Rygalik with his Corian light series and the new Warsaw based design studio Kompott). Also in the building was the production office of our friends from The Incidental, a community-generated news pamphlet and website which offers debate, reviews, news updates and recommendations and is organized by the British Council.
Another show was “Three Yet One” – a design exhibition that explores the role different media play in shaping our understanding and perception of objects. Curated by Parallel Projects as part of the Brompton Design District, it showcased the work of twelve emergent designers working across Europe.
“Three yet one” takes as starting point Joseph Kosuth “One and Three Chairs” art piece, but rather that presenting an object from the same point of view with different media, “Three yet one” interest is to widen the understanding of the object by showing the objects from different angles.

As longtime fans of Monsterpiece Theater, we were eager to see how Sesame Street would follow through on its promise to create a Muppet parody of Mad Men, the AMC series that recently added three more Emmys to its growing awards cache. Our first question: casting. Prairie Dawn seems born to play mild-mannered striver Peggy Olson, and Grover (in drag) might just be able to pull off the buxom Joan Holloway, but what muppet could convincingly embody Don Draper? Our first thought was the soulful and enigmatic Mr. Snuffleupagus, but the requisite fedora and gray flannel suit would only make him mopy, and Don has no patience for whining. Sesame Street decided to go out on a limb and cast Guy Smiley—once the show’s go-to game show host type—in the smoldering lead, although he’s far from smiley here. In fact, he’s downright mad.

“This typeface, which also appears in my 1961 painting “Boss,” recalls everything that I responded to as a child in relation to the comic books I read. Comic books were a hot issue for me when I was growing up, and for a brief moment I thought I wanted to be a cartoonist, but I never really pursued it. I wanted the world to be oversized, and overwhelming, and to kind of knock you off your feet.”
–Ed Ruscha, in the October 2009 issue of Art+Auction
