The beautiful and equally talented indie songstress Lykke Li is proud to announces her new website. http://site.lykkeli.com/ It’s full of tour dates, performances, videos, magazine interviews and (my favorite) very epic selfies and portraits shot by artists and photographers. “MY BELOVED DARLINGSTHE NEW WEBSITE IS UP………………………..“ http://site.lykkeli.com/

S/S15 Menswear Trends
Baggy: Whether it’s the pants, shirts, or outerwear, almost every collection seemed oversized. This didn’t mean one baggy piece and the rest fitted. If it was baggy so was the whole outfit making everything seem more relaxed and cool. Even better if your weight tends to fluctuate I guess. Short Loose Shorts: Above knee length but wide. Ideal loungewear and interchangeable with endless options. Sneakers: A trend that has followed through from last season is the sneakers. ( thanks Karl) Colorful or solid we saw them all over the mens runways. Mixed with both formal wear and more casual looks. Futuristic Jesus Sandals: Clogish birkenstocks and sandals made…

Artist Marilyn Minter, HD Oil on Canvas
Marilyn Minter’s paintings operate at a scale and intensity that often confuses the eye before it clarifies the mind. At first glance, her work reads as hyper-real photography. The surface is so sharp, so meticulously rendered, that the instinctive reaction is technological rather than painterly. What camera was used. What lens. What lighting setup. The revelation that these images are oil on canvas arrives slowly, and when it does, it reframes everything.

The Blue Boy by Javier Cortina
The Blue Boy is a photographic series that understands the power of restraint. Photographed by Javier Cortina and featuring model Jonatan Argiz, the work unfolds slowly, allowing color, body, and landscape to merge without urgency. The title is literal, but the effect is atmospheric rather than illustrative.

Pop Culture Portaits by artist Alvaro Tapia Hidalgo
Álvaro Tapia Hidalgo’s pop culture portraits thrive on exaggeration with intention. These are not neutral likenesses or polite tributes. They are high-saturation, high-impact interpretations that treat celebrity faces as visual symbols rather than subjects meant to be reproduced faithfully. Color becomes the language, and personality becomes the structure.

Pourchassé for Graveravens ft. Briana Wall
Pourchassé unfolds as a fashion fantasy rooted in tension, atmosphere, and performance. Shot in black and white for Graveravens.com, the editorial places model Briana Wall in a wooded setting where glamour and pursuit exist side by side. The series feels cinematic and deliberate, drawing on classic fashion storytelling while leaning into something darker and more instinctual.

Lily Allen – URL Badman (Official Video)
Miss Lilly Allen released a new video for her track URL Badman. The song is a shout out the the internet generation and influx of media and opinions poured out online (ehem.) It seems a bit bitter but still sassy, also fully of many shout outs of websites and celebrities. I wonder why … Either way I love Lily Allen and the visuals in this video are interesting and cool. How the guys get distorted and digitally stretched. Check out the video below!

Mixed Media Portraits by Bernhard Handick
Bernhard Handick’s mixed media portraits exist in a space where familiarity becomes unstable. At first glance, the faces feel recognizable, drawn from pop culture and fashion photography, images we have been trained to read instantly. But Handick interrupts that recognition just long enough to make it strange again. What emerges is a body of work that feels seductive, fractured, and quietly surreal. The foundation of these portraits often begins with photography, particularly imagery tied to celebrity, editorial fashion, or mass media. Handick then disrupts that surface through manipulation. Photographs are layered, spliced, and overpainted. Faces blur into other faces. Features are obscured, multiplied, or partially erased. The act of painting…

Sufjan Stevens, “Year of the Tiger”
Not a new song but a new official video for a song. Year of the Tiger was released back in 2001 but recently has been brought back to life by director and animator Geoffrey Hoskinson. The video has colorful animations of abstract lions slowly coming closer staring right at you, eventually multiplying and making a final creation. It’s all very hypnotizing. I like the paper like feeling the animation had. Check it out:
