Zach Johnsen ‘Acid Reflux’

It’s been a while since we last heard from Zach Johnsen. One of the Portland, Oregon-based artist’s most recent projects is Acid Reflex, a series of colourfully chaotic works featuring black-and-white suit types in contorted poses. Think Robert Longo’s iconic Men in the Cities on LSD.

Major Metropolises Visualized Through Tweets

Twitter recently created a visualization of all of the geo-tagged Tweets since 2009. The resulting satellite images of major cities depicted through billions of dots (each dot being a tweet, with the colour symbolizing the amount of tweets) is stunning to say the least. Cities in the Visualizations series include Tokyo, Moscow, Istanbul, Boston, and as seen above, New York. They also have maps of both North America and Europe.
Take a closer look below and check out the full series on Twitter’s Flickr page.
Gourmet 2013 Summer Nove 2 L

Part of Gourmet’s Summer collection is the Nove 2 L model. A staple in the Los Angeles label’s line for a few seasons now, it’s defined by its fit and form, featuring elastic closures and velcro straps. For Summer, the mid-top gets the lux treatment with an embossed croc leather upper coming in two tonal colourways, chili pepper and peacoat navy. Both are now available through Gourmet’s website.

Daily Video: The-Dream “Pussy”
Terius Nash aka The-Dream released his fourth album last week, IV Play, along with an accompanying video for Pussy, which is a steamy, four-minute, very-not-safe-for-work clip of a video vixen doing some booty shaking followed by her lying on a bed lubing up her lingerie and posing in all sorts of suggestive positions. It really is more NSFW than you might expect so be careful hitting play.
Sammy Slabbinck’s Surreal Collages

It’s been a while since we last featured the work of Sammy Slabbinck. Today we catch up with the Belgian artist who is still making some wonderful collages cleverly merging vintage photographs with space, landscapes, the female form and famous monuments. You can purchase his works through Society6.

The Detroit Bus Company
This whole story seems so unreal and absolutely amazing… Last year the city of Detroit ditched the plans for its much-anticipated M-1 lightrail which would have connected commuters from all parts of the city to downtown. Instead of accepting this unfortunate turn of events, 25-year-old Detroit native, Andy Didorosi decided to take matters into his own hands by founding the Detroit Bus Company.
