Factory Records: The Complete Graphic Album
This looks to be a wonderful history of all the artistic output of Factory Records — which was home to the likes of Joy Division, New Order, The Happy Mondays, Cabaret Voltaire and James.
If you know me, this might make a wonderful christmas gift… ;)
Banksy’s Elephant
Here’s a quick little video of the much buzzed painted elephant from Banksy’s “Barely Legal” exhibit. I’ll have my photos and other reflections posted a bit later tonight.
P.S. From what I understand, the elephant was covered in breathable paint and seemed rather chill in its behavior while I was there. It was also constantly being fed hay and taken outside at least once over the hour that Sarah and I were there checking things out. So spare me any comments about animal cruelty, por favor.
Heads Up
Man, I seriously can’t fucking wait for this. Hopefully I’ll run into a few of y’all there tomorrow. If you see me, come over and say hey.
Update: Here’s the location on a Google map according to blogging.la.
Photoshoppery in the Real World
Pretty much every celebrity photo — save for the unflattering ones on gossip sites — is so heavily touched up nowadays that this bit of adbusting from Germany is freaking genius as far as I’m concerned. And I don’t know about you, but all the detail that they put into this (like the layer list) really makes me wish that I’d see stuff like this pop up in the US more often.
