David Lynch by Jean Baptiste Mondino
“I love to translate ideas. If you are true to the ideas that you love and never walk away from any element until it’s correct, then there’s a chance others will feel it’s correct and go into that world and have an experience. Hopefully a good experience.”

“Crowd Porn 2″ by xtrapop (from the “Coachella Porn - Dante’s Orgy” series)
The idea that the Red Hot Chilli Peppers could inspire anything but catalepsy in an audience is beyond both my belief and understanding but, sometimes, it takes a photograph to show you what is in front of your eyes.
For me, this beautiful photo series of crowd scenes at Coachella, by Flickr member xtrapop (a.k.a. Thomas Brodahl), immediately brings to mind the listless rutting depicted in the orgy scene of the movie “Perfume” rather than Dante’s diabolical torments.

If I could afford it I would buy virtually every piece of work by Stu Mead. For the time being I’m deliriously happy with this recently purchased print, number 3 in an edition of 40.

Those nice people at Condomania now have a blog dedicated to their growing range of artist-designed condoms and related stuff. They also took me totally by surprise recently by commenting on this blog!
“We recently got the bright idea to gather together a bunch of working artists and ask them to design packaging for condoms which will both interest and excite our customers. This website is our attempt to document that process while also pointing out where others in the condom industry are doing things right, and where they are doing things wrong from our perspective.”

As today is apparently “Ascension Day” it seems appropriate to commemorate the life (and death) of the Nazerine with this picture of the plate that currently illuminates my kitchen wall:
Depicting, as it does, “The Life of Christ in Cats”, this beautiful, 19cm diameter masterpiece of the plate makers art always makes me smile and, occasionally, even strikes me as being almost reverentially spiritual (in a Serrano “Piss Christ” sort of way).
Definitely the best thing Viz magazine ever produced.
