One Man is a short film about a man, a one-man band that is lonely and down on his luck who can’t seem to get a break. However, on this day everything changes. I won’t spoil it for you, but it’s a happy ending. The film which won an award at Cannes was directed by Matt Rhodes, was written by Tony Pipes and stars Rob Jarvis.

Members-only flash sale site PLNDR has joined forces with none other than Prodigy of Mobb Deep to produce a new line of clothing.

“2013 marks Mobb Deep’s 20th Anniversary and PLNDR.com’s milestone of 3 million members. It’s no surprise then that Prodigy teamed up with Karmaloop and its hugely popular members-only site, to celebrate both achievements with an exclusive capsule collection. “The inspiration for the images is my life.  It’s about what I like, what I do and what I like to wear.  The images are inspired by what’s in my head. I thought it would be great to be able to wear my thoughts,” said Prodigy.

With themes of death, good vs. evil, Illuminati, and more – the collection is literally a visual representation of Prodigy’s most heralded verses. “When we were looking at collaborations with artists, Prodigy was a no-brainer. His creativity and lyricism is unmatched – and that’s something that we wanted to showcase to the entire Karmaloop family and community,” said Heather C. White, Digital Strategist.”

Carl Kleiner was commissioned by Italian lighting company FLOS to shoot their products. The Swedish photographer took their light fixtures to new heights by creating something so surreal, abstract and beautiful that it looks more like fine art than simple product photography.

Spanning an entire block and occupied by several artist groups, the 5Pointz warehouse complex situated in Queens and made famous for its 350 spray-painted mural that have covered it since 1993 has its days numbered. A tourist destination for art and music fans over the years, 5Pointz will be demolished in the near future. Above, check out a video paying tribute to the sacred graffiti grounds as shot from a hexacopter drone by production company, Aerial VP. The editing is crap and so is the music, but the visuals alone make it a worthwhile watch.
