Does this painting speak for itself? Perhaps, but aren’t you eager to see more of Brandon Bird’s delightfully weird art? Brandon Bird is a California based artist with a penchant for awesomeness.  Mostly working in oils Brandon takes a satirical or perhaps iconic approach to his subjects, portraying them in the weirdest of weird scenarios.  [...]

Noah Stokes, aka @motherfuton (the crazy web designer with the satirical portfolio page) just shared one treat of a poster collection on Twitter. typo/graphic is an archive of various art styles, with one common focus: typography.

This album’s been out for a little while but for lovers of all things glitch and broken-beat I suggest you go back and give this one a listen.  Monsieur Sine Weaver masterfully combines classical instrumentation with stutter effects  & thoughtful samples.  An incredibly emotional listen from end to end.  As an aspiring DJ, he challenges [...]

This was a recommendation from @iancheung over the weekend, and I’ve had CAN on my “To Listen To” list for eons now. I had first heard of this band (as well as their lead vocalist Damo Suzuki) when Damo was touring his Network project through Calgary a few years back. Some old friends were chosen [...]

Bat For Lashes, an artist favourite at the Splash Fantastic lair and certainly responsible for wearing down our digital needle, will soon be releasing her new album April 6th. “Two Suns” is a follow up to “Fur and Gold” an album that garnered much critical acclaim and has a fan club including the likes of [...]

What I do know is that the beast of nostalgia (Nostalgior!) has dug its bedazzled claws into our [...]

I can’t help but feel both nostalgia and wonder each time I see this clever poster set from Mehmet Gozektlik. To think this was the advanced medium for transporting storage not too long ago. Remember those 5 and a quarter inch floppies, with the lock level you’d have to flip on the disk drive? Yeesh.

There exists an area in my mind which is dedicated to fond childhood memories of toy franchises, still untouched by the golden mittens of retro-revival and its cocaine-blasted Hollywood friends.  In this area is a series of little somethings known collectively as Playmobil.
If you are of my generation (which if you are not, that’s cool, [...]

Last night I sat down in front of ol’ man laptop in search of audio-visual entertainment and feasted my peepers (jeepers!) on something beautiful.  This beauty came by the name of Sita Sings The Blues.  Okay where to begin… there’s just too much cool going on here.  Everyone, breathe. Find your calm place and we [...]
