ok, so its no secret that blink 182 are my favourite band ever in the history of forever. i am actually wearing a blink hoodie right now!!

but anyway, jean from over at NOTCOT was lucky enough to go to the super special, pre-tour family and friends show they put on monday nite in LA. and while i couldnt be there, she promised to take pics for me! haha well, not just for me, but i made her promise.

blink 182's Travis Barker's new drum setup, by Jean Aw of NOTCOT

as NOTCOT puts more up, i will share with you here, but head over there anyway to – www.notcot.com

well kids.. i hope you know wot this photo means…

it means my all time favourite band (yes, its blink 182 and yes i am wearing a tshirt of them right now) are back in the studio after an indefinate hiatus!!!! so yay for me!!! if you dont like blink, thats fine, but i do. yay!

so, along the music lines, here is a dude that i really like now. towa tei is a dj from japan, and i read a comparison between him, and a katamari damacy x warioware, which i like.

so check this song/awesome music video.

and in site related news, there is a new layout a coming, but i have been lazy of late.. expect it by the end of the week, as well as a couple of epic blog posts to make up for the post japan lack of content!!

happy valentines day

love qwux

i tend to spend a lot of time on the internet. i am not a nerd, i just like searching and stumbling throught the information abyss to find pearls to present  to you fine travellers.

it seems there has been an increased interest in motion typography, and while i am a fan of taking things that are normally static, and making them move i never expected to be so…  turned on, by text.

this video, from a photovoltaic engineering student (random i know) from unsw (booo, they have cofa, booo) really blows me away. not only is it one of my favourite songs ever (online songs by blink 182) but the clarity and synch of this video is really worth a watch.

i have been trying to replicate these amazing bubble drawings by charlotte sullivan for a few weeks now, and i honestly have no idea how she does it. all mine pop, or soak the paper, or look like mushed something.

but, she has pulled it off, and made some awesome, almost x-ray looking works for you to drool over.

omg i wish i could get at least one to work!!!!  ahh well

to see the rest of the series, head over to – www.hybridfloaters.com

dallas clayton made an awesome book.

it is awesome, becuase it encourages kids (of all ages) to keep the mind imaginative. i love it.

lucky for you, you can view the whole thing on his site at – www.veryawesomeworld.com

not new news, but refill magazine (who seem to be on a timeout) had the 7 series. a show with amazing artists, the likes of which have been featured here before, like mike giant, fafi, dmote, parra etc. all awesome people, very much in the now. so, these skateboard decks have the designs laser etched into them, which leaves room for some absolutely amazing designs. limited to 50 of each deck, and at 500aud per deck, these are the kinda decks you hang, not skate.

mmmmmmmmmike giant.. hahahaha

see more pics, and the full artist list at – www.refillseven.com

finally, i came across a new magazine starting up called rice candy, and apart from instantly falling in love with the name, i submitted some work and will actually get a photo published in the mag!! yay for me!!! besides that, the guy putting it out (RT) asked if i mite be interested as being a creative consultant/some how involved in the magazine. which i am super keen for. will keep you up to date when issue 1 is available, but submissions only just closed onthe 3rd of jan, and these things take time.

issue 2 will be open for submissions soon, and the theme is shapes, so get thinking, and head on over to – www.ricecandy.net
