Deconstructed Watercolour Portraits by Henrietta Harris

08.01.2013

New Zealand artist Henrietta Harris explains these trippy portraits as something that “can only be achieved by having occasionally dipped one’s paintbrush accidentally in one’s coffee.” Love 'em...

I managed to hear a sneak peak of Toro Y Moi's new album "Anything in Return" last week, and it's so so damn good. Pre-order it here, and in the mean time enjoy the video for "So Many Details".

Mixtape #22

03.12.2012

It's been months since my last mixtape and so much great music has been released... it was hard to edit this one down to 18 tracks. This mix is a little more chilled than usual, maybe because winter has set in and all I'm down for is a good slow head bob. Anyway, enjoy the tunes!

Adrien M & Claire B

27.11.2012

French filmmakers Adrien M & Claire B have made a short film that explores a technique called slit scan photography. Instead of taking in a full frame at a time, slit scan cameras only take in a line at a time, which makes the chronological order of what's going on slightly different as you head down the screen. The result is pretty fun.
