Chilean DJ and producer Alejandro Paz is currently one of the directors of Radio Cómeme. Ale has recently moved to Cologne, Germany to embark on some exciting new projects (and it will give us the chance to see him live more often!)
He will be playing at the Brixton Club House with other Cómeme artists like Matias Aguayo and Christian S on the 8th of July. You can listen to his most recent radio mix here.
Russian fashion photographer Elizabeta Porodina is currently based in Munich, Germany and at only 24 years old has a brilliant work to show so far. Take a look at her Website and Flickr.
Artist Jose Romussi breathes new life into his artwork by recollecting images from different old fashion magazines and embroidering colorful thread onto collages. Get inspired here.
The Water Cathedral is a large urban structure made up of vertical hanging components varying in height and concentration. Water moves through a hydraulic irrigation network and the stalactite-like components gradually drip water to cool the visitors below. The installation also provides elements of shade, along with plants and water that collect under the Water Cathedral’s canopy. This project was designed by Gun Architects and takes place in Santiago de Chile.
Congratulations to one of London’s most promising illustrators Rob Reed, who has just won the Liebster Award from Irma at Lily & Rose Design Studio for his fantastic blog. Not only is Rob a talented illustrator but he also has plans for a new music blog called Parlour Music which we are very excited about seeing once it has launched online.
We have included some of our favourites here but we encourage you to stop by his website to check out even more.
We sometimes forget about the amazing world existing under the sea. Gener’s photography is really captivating, the way he captures the human body underwater is memorable. Gener says that
“Under the sea you are in another world. The inspiration starts once I’m submerged, embraced by it. The environment around you always has its influence. When you’re in this huge liquid medium, unable to breathe or feel gravity, with different light conditions and rules, strength inspires you and makes you think different.”
It’s really hard to believe that these aren’t photographs but rather the work of a talented artist using only a ballpoint pen. Casas’ artwork is extremely sexy and powerful and is quickly becoming one of the most interesting new Spanish illustrators. Visit his website to find out more.
Moscow-based Russian photographer Oleg Dou deforms his photos with digital effects. His work blurs the distinction between reality and artifice in a surrealist manner.
I just found these great illustrations from Sebastian Ospina, a Colombian artist who manage to mix great colours, textures and images into one great graphic piece. I love his work, you can find out more about his work here.
It has been years since I listened to Nathaniel Merriweather’s trip-hop act Lovage, but last night (thanks to the wonders of iTunes shuffle) I rediscovered the brilliant ‘Stroker Ace’. An old favourite and one I don’t plan on forgetting about again.
