WONG WONG
Posted in: Uncategorized 
Nice new bag from WONG WONG, a New York design collective established by Stephen Wong in 2007. The bag is designed to keep your athletic gear separate from your day-to-day essentials (books, laptop, etc…). Great solution with a simple and clean execution.
The group has a couple other projects up on their site worth checking out, looking forward to see what they come up with next. Thanks for the link Stephen.

Sweet World
Posted in: Uncategorized 
London based animation firm Sweet World did some neat light animations for the recent rebranding of Virgin Media’s channel Filmflex. Some of their stuff is, as they call it, ’sensitive’ (i’d call it a bit cute-sy), but still worth a look. Check out some of their work here.

The Sentimental Engine Slayer
Posted in: Uncategorized 
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez from Mars Volta has released a new movie at International Film Festival Rotterdam.
“The Sentimental Engine Slayer tells the compelling, confounding tale of the overdue coming of age of a twenty-something misfit named Barlam. Barlam’s awkward transition from boy to man is as much the story of struggling to find one’s essence in a world of stereotypes as it is an indictment of the distorted reality of family life in the disengaged 21st century…” (IMDb). You can see the trailer and more of his work here.
Haven’t seen it yet, but looking forward to.

Bak
Posted in: Uncategorized 
Started back in 2006, Bak is an online magazine devoted to graphic design, photography, and art. It’s free, and what makes it particularly interesting is that anyone can send in their work for consideration of inclusion. The site itself is a little strange, but there is definitely some interesting work in some of their issues. Take a look.

Muse Magazine
Posted in: Uncategorized 
Sex and drugs(?) and smoking and trying to read a book in my Micky Mouse sweater and pouring water on the ground and Lindsay Lohan and falling asleep and getting drawn on and some disco ball I found and intense sexy music and more smoking, oh, and Channel stuff…
It’s not literally sex, but I suppose it sells. Another example of the fashion industry’s tight-rope walk along the ‘porn’ line (which I’m not necessarily against). The shoot was directed and photographed by Yu Tsai exclusively for Muse Magazine.
I admit, I kind of like it, but that just might be the partial nudity. After re-watching it I find it pretty hard to take seriously. I don’t know if it’s Lindsay Lohan, or that some of the stuff they’re doing doesn’t make any sense (ie no logical order of events, and some of the events themselves are pretty out of place). Apparently the shoot was inspired by Kate Moss and Johnny Depp’s romance in the early 90’s. Have a look for yourself.
