The first flickr set of the year is dedicated to the ubiquitous Keep Calm And Carry On poster that has seemingly gripped the national conciousness, making it’s way from the walls of East London’s most post modern residents to the hallowed walls of 60 Minute Makeover (probably). It also happens to be brilliant vehicle for for anyone and everyone to express themselves. A few favourites after the jump. (more…)
While in Paris over the New Year, I bested my natural aversion to Art Galleries and exhibitions to take a trip to the wonderful (and surprising) Palais De Tokyo. For those that don’t know, the gallery is situated in a rather nice part of town, that also happens to be a little bit off the tourist trail, so you won’t be bumping into people creating strange pornographic poses outside the Lourve. (This did happen). Showing there was a great exhibition called, somewhat strangely, Chasing Napoleon… (more…)
Almost a sister project to the Enterprise Project I blogged about around the release of the re-imagined Star Trek, here is the Vader Project, taking probably the most well known Science Fiction icon (alongside the aforementioned Enterprise) and letting 100 artists and designers loose on it. (more…)
Love this work form Gordon Magnin. More twisted thoughts after the jump. (more…)
This is a great little experiment in remix culture, Covered is all about taking classic and obscure comic book covers and reinterpreting them in each artists unique style. What’s interesting is how diverse these interpretations are, from homages to totaly recreations of style, context and attitude. I’ going to be watching this one with interest, and has a similar love of their format as Film The Blanks does (one of my first ever posts and going from strength to strength) See some choice cuts (Including the re-imagined Venom cover) after the jump.

More Katsu skulls here
Over at the Wooster Collective, I chanced upon a new collaboration from noted (and to all intents ‘elusive’) NYC street artist Katsu and filmakers Nick Poe and Alex Kalman. (more…)
I found this on It’s nice that. It’s a bit old now but thought it was a wonderful guerilla art piece. (more…)

I recently found this fascinating talk on PSFK. It’s from Marc and Sara Schiller, who collectively run the Wooster Collective, which has over the last few years become the number one resource for fans of Street Art around the world. (more…)
This is a beautifully realised idea. A series of random musical you tube clips are bound together to create one unique experience. What makes this so special is the way everything blends together perfectly, and the different moods you can create by adding and subtracting certain key elements. For example – add in and then subtract the horn (Two in two down) and see what happens, the entire mood of the piece changes, going from hypnotic to plaintive. This is one of these things that’s makes you wonder what you ever did without the internet. Beautiful (With thanks to the great guys at PSFK)
