The Decapitator

Nobody is safe from the Decapitator. You can not hide. All you can do is make sure your photo isn’t taken, and you’ll be relatively safe. A video of the-making-of after the jump, including some more pics from the guy’s Flickr stream :) (more…)

Rubber Johnny

My exotic friends from Denmark, Maja and Lisa, introduced me to this video. I may have seen it before, but it freaked the crap out of me once more. Actually, I’m not even sure I managed to finish it the first time ;) As the quoted description of the 2005 youtube video nicely summarizes:

One of the most buggy and trippy films youll ever see..I reccomend to watch in the dark alone…

This video, titled “Rubber Johnny“, was made by Chris Cunningham to promote Aphex Twins’s album “drukqs”. The freaky sack of bones in the wheelchair is actually director Chris himself. I wonder if its also the conceiving artist’s dick in the shot where we see a rubber johnny get pulled off in reverse. The song playing is “afx237 v7 (w19rhbasement remix)”, and yes, this is a music video.

Robbo & Robbo vs. Banksy vs. Robbo

It all started with the approximately 24 year old piece on Regent Canal in Camden, London. Banksy graffiti’d over Robbo’s antique and Robbo was offended. Consequently, Robbo painted right on top of Banksy’s 3 day old piece, repaying B. in kin. But having the final say wasn’t good enough for “King Robbo” after having his/her/it’s 24 year old piece finally painted over. Hence the above image. I’ve included pictures of the old Robbo piece, Banksy’s rejuvenation of it and Robbo’s reply after the jump, and a photo of what the above pic originally was. (more…)

Little Sol

She goes under the alias Solveig, this little girl from Brighton, UK, and already started a career in street art and other graphic design. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this 11 year old is one of the most seasoned among her weight class, as proven by her incriminating Flickr stream. Her style is called “anti” or “ill” by some, but I’d rather call it what it is; disturbingly cheerful. Aside from the fact that she draws mario characters that are twice her age, mad props for being featured in Graphotism #45 and getting a dude to let you tattoo his arm :)
