Christina Drejenstam

Select works from Swedish illustrator, Christina Drejenstam. Love the way her flashy ink and sumptuous water colors come together to lend a vintage-but-edgy vibe to her imagery.  See more work here.

Florence and the Machine > The xx > The Very Best

It seems like everything The xx touch turns to solid, chill gold. Take Florence and the Machine’s ‘You’ve Got the Love’ (itself a cover of a 1986 progressive R&B track). They take Welch’s over the top diva crooning and pull the reigns back, adding a little back-beat and chopping the vocals to make something with [...]

Aloe Blacc is back…

     ”This is the lead off single from Aloe Blacc’s forth coming album Good Things, produced by Truth & Soul, and featuring the backing band known as Expressions and El Michels Affair. The A-Side “I Need A Dollar” has just debuted as the theme song to the HBO series How To Make It In America.”   [...]

Disposable Film Festival

With all the various kinds of media and ways to capture it these days. This film festival sounds great. Showing at several different locations around San Francisco each day will feature a different theme. Too bad I can’t get up to S.F. for it. Someone go, and record it with your cell phone and send [...]

With foam pouring over the edge of the four men’s death blue lips, [...]

Hold Your Horses!

I couldn’t resist posting this video by the band Hold Your Horses for their song 70 Million. Throughout the whole video they are constantly making themselves into famous paintings. Can you name them all?

Posh Punishment

If you’re going to commit a crime, I suggest you do it in Norway. Halden Prison will have a gym, training room, chapel, library, family visiting unit, soccer field, a school and even a sound studio. They also spent about $1 million to hire a graffiti artist named Dolk (Norwegian version of Banksy) to paint murals around [...]

This Too Shall Pass

Here we Go again… Directed by James Frost, OK Go and Syyn Labs. Produced by Shirley Moyers. The official video for the recorded version of “This Too Shall Pass” off of the album “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky”. The video was filmed in a two story warehouse, in the Echo Park neighborhood of [...]

The Magic is Gone

Thanks to the visual effects company Stargate Studios and the green screen, the magic is gone. via
