With such stark contrast between the subtleties of the salt and the void created by cloth, at first blush, you'd think these were illustrations or oil paintings. Meet Shanghai artist / photographer Bence Bakonyi. There's something so clever in how he twists your sense of medium & scale. Find more of his work on Behance.

With my love for trees and my love for prints I think Bryan Nash Gill's Woodcuts are the perfect marriage. I love the complete organic nature of his prints. Be sure and check out the video as well, as it shows some of his process. Permalink | Comment On This Post | Tweet This Post | Add to del.icio.us | Stumbleupon Post tags:
The Brooklyn / DC label that is brought us Solar Year & Bam Spacey puts together a playlist showing off their depth and a short story about each artist. 1. Young Athletes League "We Only Feed Ourselves" Every label needs a first release. A 3 track EP from London's Young Athletes League was ours. We found YAL through a Phil Collins remix he posted via MySpace which lead to discovering his original works. Thinking about it now I feel really old but MySpace is making a come back right? "We [...]

Roosevelt reminds me of chillwave without the lo-fi ala Washed Out & Toro Y Moi , but it goes beyond song writing skills, he knows his production well, he's the perfect hybrid of how survive and what to make post Neon Indian , did you catch all my name drops? Mirror Kisses sticks to his guns, keeps perfecting the sound he loves, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Fujimoto Tetsuro fuses together that Sepalcure sound with that beauty of glitch done soo damn right, its funk its [...]
Mid May is the release of the new Small Black LP on Jagjaguwar , some might remember them as the backing band for Washed Out early on but we've always supported them and their music on ISO50, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The end of Emeralds means plenty more music from each band member. Mark McGuire is back at prime form with this extend work of a track off the upcoming LP. I can see Emma Louise working on a Tycho track, maybe its just the mood of [...]
Been loving the collection of photos in Michael Light's 100 Suns , showing the first few moments of nuclear bomb tests that took place in the 19502s. If you haven't seen this before, the science behind capturing these images is also a great read . Permalink | Comment On This Post | Tweet This Post | Add to del.icio.us | Stumbleupon Post tags:

The Sheats Goldstein house might be the most frequently photographed piece of property in LA (if you haven't seen it on innumerable blogs like Curbed, or from the video walk through Charles posted awhile ago, you probably remember it from The Big Lebowski)—so obviously, I jumped at the chance to take a tour of the iconic house with architect Duncan Nicholson , who has been restoring and adding to the property since the '90s. And as much as I tried to restrain my trigger finger, I took a ridiculous amount of photos to add to the home's documentation—apologies [...]
One of the better ways to deal with the confusion of subgenres and scene explanation is video interviews from the rising artists, and Red Bull Music did just that. They've recently conquered Alt R&B , Post Dubstep , Cloud Rap , and " Beats ", I think they're going to keep going, well at least I hope they do. I'm not sure what will be next, honestly its a good series to watch, especially if you're young and old and make beats. It gives the new generation reason and explains to them some humble beginnings [...]
Beacon reveals their honey soaked single "Bring You Back" from their upcoming LP The Ways We Separate . What distinguishes them from other R&B acts right now is rare uptempo pace that gives it a slight driving feel while keeping true heartfelt lyrics. Autre Ne Veut has a more aggressive approach with plenty of classic sensual tricks from R&B fused in heavily with the Art of Noise feel people can't seem to kick. What makes it sounds new is the spikes of instruments that squeal that reminisce of freak out [...]
Last week I was wandering around Barnes & Nobles and in the section where they put painters and other artists of the likes, there was a book called Desert Air by George Steinmetz. The book had somehow had lost it's way home from the Photography section a few aisles down. Stuck between Monet and Ruscha, the book was like "YO TIM. I KNOW YOU LOVE DESERTS AND STUFF SO PICK ME UP." George Steinmetz captures very intimate photos of landscapes. Most of these from this set are from his Desert Air collection. He [...]

ISO 3200!!! A captivating set of journalistic style images from the East Side Access project as of February 12, 2013. These images serve not only as a historical record of the tunnel's construction, but as a stunning example of how far high-end DSLR cameras have come in handling high ISO images. All these images were shot between ISO 3200 - 5000 on a Nikon D4, and - more notably - at sharp apertures and shutter speeds. Images this clean under those lighting conditions simply wouldn't have been possible even a few [...]
If you are interested in mirroring on the iPhone at all and you haven't heard of Mirrorgram you are missing out. It's just about everything you could ask for in a mirroring app. You can snap a photo in the app or load one in, but the real beauty of it is once you are mirroring an image you can move it around to get the mirror just right. Above are a couple images I ran through Mirrorgram. The first one is a photo of a hanging light in my living room. I then mirrored it on a [...]
Beautiful photos by Ward Roberts depicting various courts integrated into the urban landscape in near chameleon ways. When living in Hong Kong I remember being amazed at how much area was offered up for court/pitch activities, given how short they are on space. Many of these are most likely far above street level, and while not necessarily "green areas," they give back crucial space that was taken by construction. Le Corbusier would be proud.

Todd Osborn is more known for his Osborne or Soundmurderer projects but his Superstructure is nothing new, back in 2005 I bought his cassette called Clone A which was him completely replaying Radiohead's Kid A on a synth, I loved that tape, I can't find it anywhere. Above is a gorgeous stop motion video for Escape and the song for free download, if you love it check out the rest of the EP . [...]
If I could offer up one electronic album to the world it would be this one, Lusine has always been a wizard when it comes to expansion and beauty, while maintaining the highest quality sound design without it ever being too experimental to drive off any new listeners. Songs like "Stratus" makes you feel like your skydiving in your chair, while "Panoramic" builds up to what feels like your doing donuts in a convertible in slow motion in the desert after the best day with your good friends. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Seattle-based producer Jeff McIlwain's [...]
