If you’re following Sweedish indie singer, Lykke Li, on Twitter, I’m sure you will have started seeing a slew of cryptic tweets from her recently, complete with tips to find rhymes and a mysterious website to visit. I, having noticed these for a short while, decided to take the bait and soon realised that those Continue reading →
This is Dot, she’s the world’s smallest stop motion animation character, and she knits a mean sleeping bag. In this wonderful short film, you follow Dot as she battles her way across a perilous landscape of household familiars; she dashes across a plaid pathway, hails a nearby Bee to venture over a pencil shaving sea, Continue reading →
Lomography (the people who bring you cameras like the LC-A+ and Diana+) are teaming up with Gowalla (a geo service who bring you wonderful Twitter updates like “Mike is at the station”…) for this year’s South by South West Festival. From what I can understand, they’re going to be taking advantage of Gowalla’s items (a Continue reading →

A lead ball rests on the ‘g’ key of this macbook. eventually the weight of the simple document causes the computer to crash. a modern day needle in the haystack, when the camels back is laden only with needles… this is the latest piece of work by jack strange. simple and thought provoking. i Continue reading →

Another artist at the Willoughby Windows Project is Gaia, who produces work both for the street and for galleries. A lot of Gaia’s work is large scale illustration, with line drawings representing natural subjects like animals and earth children. These are then either wheatpasted on buildings or included in installations or 2D work, and some Continue reading →
Just a quick one about some great stuff from the Willoughby Windows project. My particular favourite is the Cannonball Press Zero Sum Game; eight keys and four outcomes all lead to financial ruin. Sorry Chief. I like the wood cut style and the black and white which makes it all seem a bit old school, Continue reading →
The human printer is a group of people that replicate CMYK, black and white and spot colour prints through arduous use of felt tips. By drawing many dots in a half tone pattern, they build up pictures not unlike those you’d find in print, but with a slight merging and softening of details. Of course, Continue reading →
Charming Baker’s an artist who once had one of his paintings shot with a shotgun because he thought it looked a bit ordinary. He works in oils, painting moments in life somewhere between birth and death and aims to make you feel like something’s not quite right… His subject matter varies from people through jet Continue reading →
We’ve got a bit of a thing for tilt-shift at Jam, and Amy Bennett’s work is in the vein. Amy builds miniature diaromas and then paints them. The result is a step beyond tilt-shift or photos of miniatures like you find on little people, and is a bit of a nod towards hyperrealism and photorealism Continue reading →
