“Ostrich,” by Kawamura-Ganjavian Studios. It’s a basically a big sack for your head, in case you want to take an impromptu nap and don’t give a sh*t when or where. Kinda like that Nastyass Honeybadger… it just doesn’t care! Anywho, nevermind about how the hell you can breath in that …

The Rodnik Band by Philip Colbert available at Not Just A Label Shop takes classic art by artists like Vincent Van Gogh, Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dali and recreates them as a dress. I think my favorite is the Tomato Soup can by Warhol… I mean, durrrrrr, who wouldn’t …
Read More »Weed Gowns by Nicole Dextras
Canadian artist Nicole Dextras created an installation of all sorts of gowns made from weeds, flowers, and anything green that a bunny would feast upon. I love when fashion uses unconventional ‘fabrics’ to create a truly WTF outfit. Pay attention to the weaving technique in the bodice of the fourth photo- isn’t …

The Golden Girls portrait in BEANS!!? Spice Girls in CANDY?!! Drew Barrymoore in MEAT?!! Donald Trump in JUNK?! Tammy Faye Baker in YARN?!! Who could ask for more?? These legends (at least in my little head) are all composed in art using random food and junk items that could feed …
Read More »The Art of Maleonn Ma
Chinese Artist Maleonn Ma takes the most effed up dreams and makes them into lovely art. Seriously, these are things you dream when you eat that late night pizza with buffalo chicken on top. I don’t know about you, but when I eat heavy, spicy meals late night, I dream up …

Japanese designer Yusuke Maegawa is a recent graduate of Central Saint Martins and has 2 collections under his belt already. His use of layers and ruffles and pleats make the perfect outfit for concealing things. I would hide my kitties in those ruffles all snuggly-like. Maybe some snacks for myself. …
Read More »The Demise of Books!
Artist Robert The has found a way to put those Encyclopedias to good use- a broom! I have a story about Encyclopedias ( remember this sessy Encyclopedia dude?), by the way. When was in junior high, no one really used the internet for anything yet, not even porn! Can you imagine …
Read More »Pretty Potholes
Who says you need to fix roads? Just send artist Juliana Santacruz Herrera to knit the holes away! They just need to set her up on the side of the street with a lawn chair and some knitting needles so she can get on each pothole as it comes along. Put …
Read More »Somber Kitty Portraits by Marion Peck
Rhode Island School of Design graduate Marion Peck produces some incredibly, lovable-yet – creepy art. Her art reminds me of the same mood as Mark Ryden, but slightly more kitschy. The kitty portraits are the best! They all look like they were given a long-ass bath prior to the portrait. Calgon …

I love Jean-Charles de Castelbajac way with fashion- fun, whimsical and practical. I like to think that he’s the new Moschino from the early ’90s… Check out the first photo with the dalmatians- Cruella De Vil would love that! I love that! The idea for the booby hands in the …
