David Schwen | Pantone Pairings

Mon, 03/04/2013 - 09:18 by Natasha Neale

Bacon and eggs, cookies and milk, peanut butter and jelly — these are some of the food combinations that we've grown up with and love together. David Schwen has taken these and has recreated paired Pantone colour swatches — the standard language for colour communication — with commonly paired food items. A Minneapolis-based illustrator and art director, Schwen first had the idea of making Pantone chips out of real household objects, such as sponges, cardboard, and the like.

Think you know your city well? Do you really know all the neighborhood names and where they are located? Test your knowledge with Click That 'Hood, an online game where you have to identify the city neighborhoods.

GIF-ITI

Mon, 02/25/2013 - 10:54 by vanessa

This is one of the best things we’ve seen in a while, and takes street art to another dimension. Created by artist (and designer) INSA, it’s a reflection of how the Internet has made street art so much more accessible. Yes, there is plenty of impressive street art in cities around the world, but a lot of them we wouldn’t usually get to see in person, and heck, some of it isn’t that unusual. This is where GIF-iti comes in. Not only does it bring worldwide art to your computer screen, seeing it that way actually makes it better.

Menswear is no longer just for the boys and Wildfang is here to celebrate the tomboy style. Wildfang is for the women out there that are "modern day, female Robin Hoods," who embrace the wingtips, bowlers, and bowties, and take their stolen styles raided from their male friend's closets into their own.

Liberating menswear, Wildfang is created by Portland trio, Emma Mcilroy and Julia Parsley, both co-founders, along with creative director Taralyn Thuot. Wildfang's premiere collection launches this Spring.

Skateboard legend, entrepreneur and filmmaker Stacy Peralta writes another chapter with this autobiographical documentary. Set in the 1980’s, years after “Dogtown and Z-Boys” and “Lords of Dogtown” comes this personal docu-movie which focuses on a group of young, straight-laced, skater American kids – the “Bones Brigade” - who proved that anything is possible (apparently most of them are millionaires these days).

Film | Finding Vivian Maier [TRAILER]

Mon, 02/18/2013 - 02:24 by Natasha Neale

Finding Vivian Maier is a documentary about one of the world's most mysterious street photographers. It all started with Jon Maloof visiting a thrift auction house and placing a bid on a box loaded with negatives. For $380, Maloof won the bid and discovered 100,000 photographic negatives, 700 undeveloped coloured rolls, as well as 8mm and 16mm films. Over time Maloof pieced together that the photos belonged to a Chicago nanny named Vivian Maier.
