Butcher Billy – Trump x Magritte

Butcher Billy imagines a portrait sitting between painter René Magritte & Donald Trump

With his new series of mashups Trump x Magritte, Brazilian artist and illustrator Butcher Billy imagines an improbable encounter between painter René Magritte, the master of Surrealism, and American politician, wanna-be president, and billionaire Donald Trump. Love it! 🙂

IKEA Announce Collaboration with HAY Design

IKEA drop teaser launching their new 'YPPERLIG' collection with HAY

In advance of their new line for 2017, IKEA are set to release teasers announcing their new collaborative ‘YPPERLIG’ collection with Danish furniture company HAY. This first video is as cleverly cryptic as it is surreal and follows the path of a glass ball through an empty apartment – a great way of staying creative without showing any of the new products. The video itself was a collaboration between three different agencies, Kühl & Solvstrom, Nikextension, and Barkas. Can’t wait to see what they come out with next – watch this space 🙂

People The Kangaroo’s Travelling Hand GoPro Music Vid

People The Kangaroo turn a hand’s 3 yr world trip into a music video

Filmed on a GoPro over three years by the musical group People The Kangaroo for their single ‘You Would Not Believe Me’, a globe-trotting hand explores oceans, forests, deserts, and unsuspecting tourists’ faces in Times Square. Love it – very clever idea 🙂

Rus Khasanov’s ‘Sweet Dreams’

Rus Khasanov's mesmerising video is the perfect visual for a Monday

We love Russian designer Rus Khasanov‘s latest project ‘Sweet Dreams’ which is footage of a slow moving combination of ink, glitter, oil, and soap creating dreamlike patterns of brilliant colour. This Monday mood is further enhanced by the addition of a soothing track by Dmitry Evgrafov – perfect thing to kick off the week, enjoy! 🙂

Clever Cutter is our Product OTD

Clever Cutter is a handy knife & cutting board gadget that cuts thru food like scissors

The Clever Cutter is an aptly named gadget that conveniently combines a sharp kitchen knife with a handy cutting board on the opposite side and cuts food like scissors cut paper. It’s a fast, easy way to chop vegetables, fruits, meats, cheese, maybe a finger and can slice perfectly thin pieces for simple yet elegant serving. As lazy people who loathe food preparation, we need, want, LOVE it! Gimme gimme gimme 🙂

Buvette’s New Music Vid ‘Staring at the Lines’

Directed by Félicien Colmet-Daâge and Ludovic Versace, ‘Staring at the Lines’, the latest music video from Buvette, is a little visual gem leading us into a surreal and mesmerising world, a futuristic dystopia populated with clones. With its colourful compositions and particular aesthetic, this animated vid has some nice references to the famous manga ‘Akira‘. Love it! 🙂

The Illustrations of Alice Wellinger

We love the creations of Austrian artist Alice Wellinger whose soft and poetic visual universe illustrates some very serious and difficult subjects such as youth suicide, alcoholism, and depression. Sensational work 🙂
