Is this the new graffiti?




It started with just a few and I thought, weird, marshmallows on the ground. Then I started seeing more and more and for a bunch of blocks. Is this the new graffiti? Leaving piles of harmless stuff everywhere? It wasn't hurting anybody, it wasn't really trash, it was hilarious. What's your new graffiti?

Twins, man.






I love this series of "twin" photos on Slate. They always have great collections of photos under "Today's Pictures". Original source here.

Windosill: Holy ish, you have to get this


Windosill is an online game that will break your shit wide open. This is such an amazing game. You can play it on any computer and the first few levels are free, or for $3 you can finish it, WHICH I RECOMMEND. It's sort of like a bunch of puzzles, but it's the kind of game that rewards you for wandering around, playing with every fun thing you see. It's really simple and yet so clever. Try the first few levels for free and call me at 3 in the morning when you finish it because you couldn't stop. Start playing immediately here

The Best Movie You'll Never See



This is awesome. Someone finally did it. A lot of people said they would do it, but this guy actually did it. Nicholas Gurewitch, creator of The Perry Bible Fellowship, a clever online comic, made this real soundtrack to an imaginary Wes Anderson movie. It's perfect, and totally enjoyable to listen to. Here you can stream the whole thang.

If this were Teen Vogue, the title of this post would be "Catch a Wave"







Amazing Japanese photographer and monk, Syoin Kajii, resides in a small seaside town and takes pictures of intricately beautiful and crushing waves. These get me lost in the best way.

He wrote a book, called Nami (wave). Just look at that cover alone! More info here.

Bum Bags for Your Bum Head




They're finally here, or should I say back. Cap Sacs (which reminds me of Achewood's Chat Sacks), a resurrected 80's brand, is here just in time for acting a fool all summer!

How'd they know?

New Pepsi Max ad campaign aimed at men and me.

Gabriela Fridriksdottir







Icelandic artist Gabriela Fridriksdottir is creepy and great and weirdly futuristic. Here is an excerpt about her work:

"The drawings, sculptures, music experiments, and videos...create a microcosm with surreal qualities, which is peopled by hybrid and sexually charged creatures who can be read as metaphors for melancholy and excess."

Blarg. Enjoy. Peruse.

Tiny Hats are a Big Deal



I love this tiny straw boater hat from Chapeau Claudette. It's tiny! It's not a regular size! It alters your perspective! Just try wearing this hat and drinking out of that little cup and tell me that doesn't freak you out.

Insane Hats!







British label Tour De Force has amazing hats! I love this stuff. I've always wanted to have a fashion shoot with models looking like they're about to sneeze, and they do that too! My favorite is the "Shooting Star", but it's hard to wear stuff like that on the subway and not feel like a real jerk. Then again you could make someone's day.

That's what I'm talkin' about!





I discovered this kids brand, Wovenplay, yesterday while shopping in the West Village. Um, amazing. The one that really drew me in was the canvas cape with lions painted on it. So weird and amazing! I love that they are costumes for daily life, something I like to implement as much as possible. Why can't we all be space cowboys and bums and giraffes and pirates any given Tuesday? We can, people, we can.

Canadians Can Too






Jillian Tamaki is a totally amazing illustrator from Canada. Having recently entered the comics realm of nerddome (I was christened when I paid money to go to the MoCCA Expo), I am really impressed with her illustrations. They are unique and beautiful. More here...enjoy!

Dalmation Weiner

I saw this awesome dog the other day in the Flatiron. He is my inspiration for fall: adorably innovative and kind of a freak.
