This whimsical, innocent and organic piece reminds me of childhood memories when everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky.

Great addition to a kids room or bathroom or any room really that needs a punch of color and cheer.

Just in time for the 80th anniversary of Andy Warhol’s birthday (August 6, 1928), Bond No. 9 proudly introduces the third in its series of Warhol eaux de parfum.  Its name, Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue, recalls the artist’s formative pre-Pop years in 1950s New York, when he lived in the first of several apartments on Lexington Avenue and plied his trade as a prolific illustrator—mainly of imaginative shoes.  Hence the Warhol-designed mélange of exclamation-point heels and high-button boots that covers the flacon. If you haven’t had the opportunity to smell a Bond No. 9 fragrance then you are definitely missing out. I, myself own the New Harrlem while I know AJK rocks the Wallstreet. Check out the full shot of the bottle after the jump.

Alright so it seems the whole innanet is abuzz with this Calvin Klein ad featuring Eva Mendes for Obsession. Honestly I don’t see the big deal, maybe it’s cus I’m Canadian and we’re a lot more liberal about some of this shit, but all you see is a bit of nipple and that’s pretty much about it. She’s covered, somewhat, for the rest of the 30 second spot. From an advertising standpoint I have to say this spot is actually quite beautiful with the whole 50s/60s grainy black and white film. Anyways have a look for yourself and let us know what your thoughts are, I guess we should mention that this may be NSFW depending on where you work.

After having purchased one of Dan McCarthy’s previous prints, I’ve been following his work on and off.  This particular print, Salad Days, reminds me a bit of “While You Were Sleeping”.  By that I really mean colorway.  Otherwise, I can’t seem to find any other common element.  This 18″ by 25″ screen print is currently available on Dan’s site for $35.  Off topic, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the half pipe in the print was an 80’s art show by the name of Secret City.  Anyone agree or disagree?

I wasn’t sure exactly what this was when I spotted it. Turns out, it’s a hand blown glass sculpture by UK artist Amanda Brisbane, who, apparently, everyone is talking about. Her work is in museums in the United States and Europe and the pieces come with a mega price tag. Because they are hand blown, no two are exactly alike. Brisbane also uses sand casting for some of her amazingly colourful and decorative pieces, which have names like Plain Peacock Butterfly (above), Red Sun, and Frozen Water (both after the jump). I really love the abstract forms, especially in the Frozen Water design. The Red Sun also has a strong colour impact.

Who knew wrists were such fertile growing ground?  Designer Chloe did, apparently. She’s offering up this ultra feminine wrist cuff, decorated with a dainty poppy. Made with gold metal enamel and crystal, the cuff’s darker stone colour makes this a year round accessory. I really love the use of metal to create a flower for the wrist, instead of going the typical fabric route.

Not much has piqued my interest over at Kidrobot over the past few months.  That is up until the board announced the above collection.  This Simpsons x Kidrobot collabo will have a total of 24 characters along with 3 chases.  This should be a great fix for Simpsons and vinyl fans alike this coming August 21st.  And of course, the big question popping inside all vinyl toy fans is which will be the chase figure.  On a different note, I’m wondering if those are Dunny arms…

This Lego remake of The Dark Knight trailer has me fiending to go see the movie all over again. For those that haven’t seen The Dark Knight yet, do yourself a favor and go immediately. And if possible, go see it in IMAX.
