I always liked Trompe L’Oeil concepts, and this one from London College of Fashion undergraduate designer Rosalind Keep gives a breath of fresh air from what we are seeing in fashion. The Trompe L’Oeil collection for the Oasis Designer Collab’ consists of a combination of tanks, dresses and sweaters with creatively printed lines on otherwise painfully boring clothing.

Land of Giants : Cannibal Dolls

This is the sound that a ton of contemporary bands are trying to emulate. And if they did it this successfully, I’d fully support them.  As it is, “Cannibal Dolls” was the a-side on the one record that Land of Giants ever released… in 1982.

Spanish born artist Ivan Puig likes the mix of contradictions told in a way of poetry, where he takes simple objects and ideas and applies a level of cerebral complexity that defines his art. I love the sinking car, I just wonder how he did that…
