Fashion and arts United
I was fortunate enough to work on one of the collaborations between awesome artists, Emma Sheldrake and Paul Giggle, that will be up for auction on the night. There will be some amazing work there and I fully encourage you all to come along and support the cause. Everyone has been very generous and has put in their own time and effort to help out the victims of the floods and fires. Be sure to get along and be part of this great appeal.
Hope to see you all there!!

Find out more about Siftables and their inventors here.

Sonic Youth's New Album..
Sonic Youth’s name is now half-ironic, but the iconic rockers are still putting out material at a healthy clip. Their new album, “The Eternal,” is due in June, and Rolling Stone has a preview of it, along with a headline that makes the usual grand claims: “most diverse record yet from indie-rock vets,” “predictably stellar.”
The Decemberists - Design their new album cover!!
On March 18th, The Decemberists will give the debut live performance of their epic new song cycle The Hazards of Love when they headline NPR Music's SXSW showcase at Stubb's in Austin. To mark the occassion, Capitol Records (who will release the album on March 24) and Imeem are inviting fans to design the official poster for the showcase with a contest -- the winning design will be hand-picked by the band and contestants can enter here:
http://www.imeem.com/thedecemberistsfans
As previously announced, The Decemberists will play The Hazards of Love, in sequence, in its entirety. Joining all five members of the band on stage will be Lavender Diamond’s Becky Stark and My Brightest Diamond’s Shara Worden, who lend leading vocals to the album. Opening bands are North Carolina trio The Avett Brothers, set to debut songs from its forthcoming album produced by Rick Rubin, and bluesy rockers Heartless Bastards, riding the success of its third record, The Mountain. The concert will begin at 10pm CST and will be streamed live, archived and podcast at www.NPR.org/sxsw, and will be available for broadcast on NPR Member stations across the country.

Well Done kiddies!!!....
The Protist
These brothers are awesome... not only to they produce kick arse mixed media pieces but they also dabble in music and film. Talk about a creative explosion. These guys rock.
Check them out!! The Protist....
The Protist was formed in 2007 by brothers Matt and Justin Kleiner, with the simple intention of it being a channel for their creative output. With both brothers having a background in music, visual art, and design, The Protist is a fusion of all those disciplines. Their focus is to create works that cross and combine mediums, while retaining a unified vision that ties everything together.
Raymond Pettibon
Probably one of my favorite artists of all time!
Known best for his work with Black Flag and his comic-like drawings with disturbing, ironic or ambiguous captions, Pettibon's subject matter is sometimes violent and anti-authoritarian.
I found this great interview with The Believer and I thought I would share it with you!!

Canon D10 Water, Shock and Freeze Proof Camera
Besides being shock, water (up to 33 feet) and freeze-proof (down to 14 degrees F), it's got a 12 megapixel sensor (like most of Canon's new line) and will shoot VGA video (unlike the most of the line, which shoots 720p video). Despite being tough, it actually feels pretty nice in your hand, though it won't fit in your pocket (unless you've got old school JNCOs). If you're not a fan of the blue, it'll have other plates, like orange and camo. I want to love it, so I hope it shoots nice pictures. It'll be $US330 when it comes out stateside in May.
CHRIS SEARL Photography
Sydney Based photographer Chris Earl has always caught my eye but I never took the time to find out who he was. I became a fano of his work from Australian publication 'Monster Children' where he gets to take shots of beautiful girls half naked and often in black and white.
His images are awesome and if you have a moment stop by and see them yourself...

Not a Robot, But A Bird by Andrew Bird
Andrew Bird released Noble Beasts on January 20, and the guy is definitely back in a good way. When I first got this album I listened to it non-stop, and I’m sure I’ll see this album on my best of the year list. Also be sure to check out the second, instrumental disc called Useless Creatures.

The Engravers Are Back!
Joe used to make some amazing engraved moleskins. Turns out that laser engraving the surface, although it looked fantastic, produced fairly toxic gases! So Joe’s been cooking up a new plan - customizable leather moleskin slip covers. Which are of course reusable, and age beautifully. Choose from a selection of hot illustrator’s designs or upload your own. See the range of artists here. Details of the covers, their materials, and neat features here. .....
Brad Pitt by Chuck Close
Above is the cover of the new W magazine. Brad Pitt seriously looks beat in Chuck Close's signature style. You got to give Bradley some credit, because these days stars just don't look like this on the cover of a fashion magazines, most of them are pursuing the wrinkle-less alien look. So this is rusty in the refreshing way.
To have a comparison, here is another one by Martin Schoeller.
