Lovely illustration work from Edinburgh based David Lemm. The image above really reminded me of the Gil Scot Heron video for ‘Me and the Devil‘, nice. You can purchase some of David’s work through the great ‘Own Art’ scheme, curated by The Skinny, via Culture Label here.

Jim Sanborn

Kurt — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:07:22 +0000

These images were produced by American artist Jim Sanborn using large format, light projection directly onto different landscapes. All of the pieces were photographed at night using long exposures, sometimes lit with searchlights. The landforms themselves are quite large, and as such required the projector and camera to be, about ½ mile away from the subject landscape.

Really doing it for us just now is the oki-ni Mix Series, where the fashion retailer can be seen working with world-renowned DJs, bands and producers with the aim to to present sounds that ‘venture off the dancefloor’, allowing each artists involved to produce a unique and personal mixe resulting in an eclectic, compelling and unique soundscape. They have just released their 55th in the series, so be sure so check out their archive and get listening.

This is a beautifully atmospheric collaborative short film by Andrew Telling and Owen Richards that documents photographer Robin Friend working on his ‘Slaughterhouse’ series. The short was shot on location deep beneath the hills of North Wales.

Christian Weber

Quickly falling in love with Christian Webers work, across photography and film. This image of Rick Ross certainly is the boss.

Grampian Mountains / Loops Haunt – Ark

This is the latest stunning release by Black Acre Records from Dundee producer Loops Haunt. Droppin’ 28th Nov on heavy 180g vinyl (with a digital release), 50 prints will be hidden amongst the stock of the vinyl containing a beautiful screenprinted piece from Mr Grampian Mountains, who is also responsible for the EP artwork.
