Mixtape 01

Things that I am fully in love with this week include:

++ Wallpaper* Magazine’s  recent sex issue featured these incredible typography tart cards, I find it hard to resist anything that mixes sex &  good design and this excellent gallery is well worth a browse.

++ Zak Smith is basically my favorite mad hot porn star slash mindblowingly talented artist on the internet, so I was thrilled to discover Road Of Knives, an ongoing project of his with fellow artists Shawn Cheng, and Nicholas Di Genova. It’s like an artistic game of Exquisite Corpse which the site sums up as ‘Zak Smith, Shawn Cheng, and Nicholas Di Genova take turns drawing monsters fighting each other…’ [found via Burnlab]

++ Bethany Shorb gets everything right in her ‘Black Tie Red Car’ series. A Ballard/Cronenberg inspired set of photos featuring broken glass, stylish ties and blood red jewels.

++ I’m amazed that I’ve only just discovered the Street Anatomy blog, but it’s awesome. Anatomy in art & design – perfect!

++ My love/hate relationship with Lady Gaga leaps back to LOVE due to the blinged-up neck brace, wheelchair striptease and crutch-supported dance routine that feature in the Paparazzi video. Total medical fetish gone pop. Check it out below:

PS: This Mixtape idea  owes a lot to Viva La Mixtape and Gala Darling. My plan is that it’ll be a weekly posting of inspiring stuff.
