Famous Artists ➔ Dissected

They're instantly recognizable artists - Dali, Van Gogh and Picasso - and now their likeness is the inspiration for a new ad campaign for MASP Art School. Like that unfortunate frog you dissected in high school Biology class, these dead artists have been pinned down and are ready for inspection. Look closely and you'll see their insides, only their organs are different than the average person's. In fact, it appears that their artistic talent truly came from within.


Filthy Luker ➔ "Street Attacks"

Street art, most of the time, should be fun, and we love the interventions that Filthy Luker has come up with. Sea monster arms coming off a building, gigantic pencils scribbling on walls, and trees with eyes are a just a few of fun pieces he has come up with. He calls the pieces "Street Attacks", Luker lives in a mad world, but a fun one.


Journal Standard x Levi’s ➔ Footwear


LEVI’S Shoes hopes to establish itself as a reliable business LEVI’S sub-label brand of American heritage, combined with the Japanese Journal of promising standard capsule collection in 2012.

Metal eyelets sewn seams, subtle details and the construction of the canvas to add to the appeal of this vision of cooperation.

Kanye West ➔ Lost in the World Video

London-based Hogben’s previous works come primarily from the world of fashion – including collaborations with Gareth Pugh, Rick Owens, Louis Vuitton, Barneys, Mac Cosmetics and Selfridges.


Xinobi ➔ "Pirates"



Released by Smile Recordings, “Pirates”, the title track of Xinobi’s brand new Ep defines the Disco Music that didn’t fit at all on The Love Boat. It’s a tropicalish and groovy song, fueled with lyrics sang by Princess Superstar, Janel & Israyl about nasty pirates on the quest for gold and pleasure. 

Full of small details, it reaches both Pop and Experimental edges with an unique way of layering Disco, House and Rap."Bronze", the “b-side” is a darker synth-trip about losing in life. Melodies and lyrics dedicated to all the drifters and the rejected ones that failed in achieving both wealth and love.
