Ken Dahl

"Part fiction and part deranged educational film strip, Monsters focuses both on the physical symptoms and the traumatic emotional damage of an STD that rarely affects two people the same way. Following his acclaimed collection of short comics, Welcome to the Dahlhouse, Ken Dahl cements his status as one of the best cartoonists of his generation with this brutally honest account of disease and self-acceptance.

“Ken Dahl’s Monsters is probably the most entertaining educational comic ever. Already a worthwhile read for its lessons on STDs and relationships, Dahl’s excellent cartooning and humor make this book required reading for anyone who has had sex, is going to have sex or wants to have sex.” -Jeffrey Brown. “Ken Dahl is one of the great unsung talents in American comics.” -Jason Lutes.(Last Gasp)"

Really sad, but really good.

New Spray Can Technology

The refillable Color Dial Spray is a novel design for a spray can that contains four colour cartridges (CMYK) in the one can. Two dials (for hue and brightness) help the painter achieve the exact colour required.

"In South Korea, around 180,000 tonnes of cans are produced every year. The recycling rate for these is only around seventy-one per cent. Those that are discarded lead not only to the wastage of metal and an increase of garbage, but also to a greater consumption of raw materials and energy in order to produce more cans.

According to South Korea’s metal can resources society, the country’s use of metal cans is gradually reducing, but the consumption of aluminium cans in particular is increasing due to a greater consumption of beer. Plenty of spray cans are wasted as well, being discarded after a single use. Color Dial Spray aims to reduce their consumption.

Generally, spray cans contain only one colour. If only a small amount of paint is required, there will be considerable wastage. Color Dial Spray is a new type of spray can that contains CMYK colour cartridges in the one can. The user can immediately change the colour by turning the colour dials near the top of the can.

There are two dials: one for hue and one for brightness. These allow for precise mixing of the particular colour desired. The colour cartridges can be refilled many times over. This helps with the reduction of waste. The compact form of Color Dial Spray is convenient and portable."

1984

"Take a look at 84 Media, a photography project by American photographer Colby Thueson. This set, inspired by George Orwell’s classic Nineteen Eighty-Four, is a brilliant tribute to the brutal dictatorship Oceania’s mottos and slogans. Ignorance is strength, war is peace, freedom is slavery, and this set is undeniably doubleplusgood."

Andy Warhols Instant Portraits

The Great One

Guess what? You remember those prints that were stolen a few weeks ago, the ones commissioned by Richard Weisman to be created by Andy Warhol? There’s gonna be a show of all the Polaroid photos taken by Andy that were used to create the prints! It’s like an exhibition of pencils and paintbrushes. Similar. But because photography, especially in this circumstance, is an artform, these are works of interest in and of themselves. Below you will find the whole collection that will be on display in the show: “Greatness”, Andy Warhol’s Polaroids of Sports Champions. For all the photos click HERE

Exhibition Spaces Last Show

"A central London exhibition space dedicated to showcasing the creative talents of University of Arts London’s students, The Arts Gallery is soon to fall victim to Crossrail’s controversial new railway project that has already taken the famous London Astoria and other smaller yet equally renowned venues and clubs. Fittingly, the gallery’s final show is a suitably epic affair and the largest, most ambitious yet from former Central Saint Martins graduate, Mike Ballard."

Eric Zeneris

"Eric Zeneris an American painter and mixed medial artist who fancies the use of water within his work. Creating an overload of astonishingly detailed work, Eric takes the admirable challenge of realistically creating both the human figure while simultaneously submerging and/or surrounding them in bodies of bubble-filled dihydrogen monoxide – a feat not all artists can undertake."
