Sometimes, the most deliberate of things come together based purely on their randomness. The collages of Derek Gores are a perfect example. With subject matters ranging from femme fatales to 5.0L cammer engines, Gores isn't afraid to tote the line between dream and reality. As he describes it, "In the collages, ... continue reading
The idea that art can only be created using brushes, paints and canvases is as ridiculous as a world without the Internet. We're not quite sure about how we feel about a wall-mounted urinal being considered art, but there are plenty of artists making ridiculously awesome works using materials that any normal person ... continue reading

Right now, we're in the middle of a dude renaissance. Dudes know how to sew - even if it's only to fix a button. They know how to cook - even if it's only to impress a lady. Some might even know how to bake - clam style. In this world of think for yourself-ers and DIYers, isn't it time you took important matters ... continue reading
Regardless of where you stand on the whole "video games as art" debate (for the record, we're for it), they involve some aspect of art - even if it's only the cover. If movie posters (which usually end up becoming some aspect of the DVD or VHS jacket) are considered art, why not video game covers? Maybe it's just ... continue reading

Graffiti has existed for decades as simple gang tags on street corners, illegible writing on subway cars, or bathroom stall words of wisdom on penis size and/or who to call for a ... continue reading
Back before everyone knew it wasn't such a good idea to post debaucherous pictures on Facebook, you couldn't even log on at work without seeing pictures of bong rips and girl-on-girl action. We've all grown out of the phase where we thought any of that was a good idea (posting the pictures, not the acts themselves), ... continue reading
Walkabouts frequently lead to found treasures. Images of native populations (we're talking girls obviously), tiny trinkets and fun souvenirs are commonplace, but nothing like what Diederick Kraaijeveld does with what he finds in Holland. Using reclaimed, genuine wood that he scavenges on field trips, Kraaijeveld ... continue reading
When was the last time you took a few minutes to actually write something down? We're not talking about sending an email, updating your Tumblr, tweeting, twatting or Facebooking, we're talking about actually putting a pen to paper and writing something down. If you're anything like us, it was probably just a doodle ... continue reading
Miniature versions of things will always have a place in our heart. It doesn't matter if it's Estes Rockets or Revell cars or Micro Machines or even Lego, we've been playing with miniature models for as long as we can remember. Alan Wolfson has turned what we thought was only a childhood hobby into a full on artist ... continue reading
Ever wonder how history would have been affected if it was a little more super? What if Batman was at Greenham Airfield on June 5, 1944 giving the orders to paratroopers about to descend on Europe? Is Darth Vader secretly the one responsible for the Viet Cong deaths on the perimeter of the Tan Son Nhut Air Base? ... continue reading
Lighting doesn't have to be limited to recessed cans, hand me down table lamps or fluorescent ceiling monstrosities. Your home is your castle, not some boring day job where you're punching a clock, so snap out of the idea that your lighting is just supposed to make everything else look good - it can look good in ... continue reading
Matt Damon is a jack of all trades. Equal parts math wiz, con man and super star, memory-challenged hero, his newest part has him tackling his most ambitious campaign yet - the U.S. Senate. Of course, it wouldn't be a Matt Damon movie if there wasn't a twist, but that's for you to figure out when the movie comes ... continue reading
Our average trips to Home Depot are generally born out of necessity: the toilet is running, or the closet needs more poles (no doubt for her clothes) or the stench of sheer manliness is permeating the otherwise humble abode. Every once in a while though, a project idea strikes and we go "shopping." But even those ... continue reading
Your computer has a paint job similar to a Ferrari. Your phone looks like an alien communication device. Your wallet is made of recycled rubber. You clearly aren't a person content with coloring in the lines or thinking inside the box when it comes to design, so why should your speakers be so... conventional? Snap ... continue reading
Taking things apart and failing to put them back together is part of a man's DNA from the time he's born. Even though your skills with a screwdriver and a power drill increase exponentially with age, there's always that part of you that wants to tear something to pieces to figger it out. Todd McLellan is no different; ... continue reading
