Salvador Dali once said, “Have no fear of perfection, for you’ll never reach it.” I think Nadia would beg to differ. Danny said, “Impossible is just a perception, not a fact.” And to that, I’d have to agree.

THE LAST MEAL BY MEG BARANKIN
November 5, 2009 by Max Gibson
I was just served a great big helping of poignancy from photographer Chris Jordan. His latest work, “Midway,†captures the actual contents of dead albatross chicks’ stomachs, found on the Midway Atoll (near the middle of the North Pacific ocean). Thousands of these birds die every year from starvation, but also from choking and toxicity [...]

THE MONEY TREES OF ENGLAND
November 5, 2009 by Max Gibson
Apparently money does grow on trees. Kind of. Throughout much of England, money trees have emerged as sources of good wealth and prosperity for individuals interested in leaving their spare change behind. Similar to a wishing well, the somewhat mysterious trees have been found in various parts of England, from Yorkshire to Bolton Abbey. Close [...]

GREATNESS BY ANDY WARHOL
November 2, 2009 by Max Gibson
Becoming an icon can’t be easy. Yet somehow individuals can rise to such a level. In my humble, to the world of art, Andy Warhol is an icon. Coining the phrase, “15 minutes of fame,” is a minuscule contribution in comparison to all that he’s done for art, society and popular culture. Presented here are [...]

FEMALE BUGS MAKEOUT TO ATTRACT STRONG MALES
November 1, 2009 by Max Gibson
I remember being hella juiced to see two girls kiss when I was younger. It was an unexpected thing at the time, but came with extra hype as well. It’s funny to me how relations in the animal kingdom can be so similar. To a degree, I think observing animal interactions can help us understand [...]

EL PERRO DEL MAR – “CHANGE OF HEART”
October 31, 2009 by Max Gibson
Here’s one to test your boundaries. The newest video from El Perro Del Mar. Often times when we come across a piece of art, there’s an infinite amount of ways we can choose to perceive it. All I ever hope is that you appreciate it. We can do and be anything we imagine, which quite [...]

THE ULTIMATE YACHT BY HERMES & WALLY
October 29, 2009 by Max Gibson
I think this would be a good time. Pictured above is the “ultimate luxury yacht.” A collaborative creation from French luxury clothing designer Hermes, and yacht maker Wally, the ship is the perfect mix of luxury and “green” living. Dubbed WHY for short, the yacht is 58 meters long and 38 meters across. Comprised of [...]

INFLATABLE ART BY JOSHUA ALLEN HARRIS
October 28, 2009 by Max Gibson
Danny has generously laced us with some more afternoon inspiration. Presented here is the work of street artist Joshua Allen Harris. Watch as Joshua describes his creative process, as he uses subway and exhaust air to inflate his pieces. Wet on all fronts. Hopefully his work let’s you see what is, but more so what [...]

PARO TAKTSANG: THE TIGER’S NEST MONASTERY
October 26, 2009 by Will Bundy
Perched on a cliff 10,000 feet above Bhutan’s Paro Valley rests the temple known as Paro Taktsang, or the Tiger’s Nest Monastery. The monastery was built on the Taktsang Senge Samdup, a cave where Guru Padmasambhava, (an Indian sage guru responsible for bringing Tantric Buddhism to Bhutan and Tibet) is said to have meditated sometime [...]
