Super minimalism is my homie

Life is complex and cluttered. Take my desk (please). It’s spilling over with randomness: a cup of coffee, a can of Red Bull, vintage lamp, 2 whiteboards with ‘to do lists’, 2 mobiles, various magazines in an IKEA organiser, box of matches, mountain of CDs and a Street Fighter 2 promo toy. Plenty of distractions. Maybe some minimalism would help?

Maybe not… In any case, Albert Exergian is a graphic designer who has broken down ten classic TV shows into super minimal posters. See the full selection here.

For serious? Black Sheep have a new single out? We assumed Dres was cracked out somehwere down an NYC back alley. Damn.

Classic Black Sheep from their 1991 debut, A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.

pirelli

Oh look, Pirelli have finally gotten around to releasing their 2010 calendar. You know, the one that Terry Richardson shot with all the naked models… Models like Miranda Kerr, Lily Cole, Catherine McNeil, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Daisy Lowe. While the company is only sending out copies to its clients, we expect there will be plenty of high rez scanning / uploading going on over the next week.

Miss Universe

All you really need to know about this week’s Trashbaggery column is there’s a sex tape involving two Miss Universe contestants and the luckiest man in the world. Oh, and we have a link to the video (1000% NSFW). If that’s doesn’t get you clicking then you’re dead to us … … … Okay, okay, fine, there’s also stuff about the Victoria’s Secret show being in CRISIS, a Kim Kardashian video update, Harry Potter smoking strange cigarettes, Somali pirates and more random stuff. You can read it over at Lifelounge.com

The Terminator vs Suicide Forest

terminator

This was originally going to be an update about these spooky woods near Mt Fuji where everyone in Japan goes to commit suicide. But then we thought maybe that was kinda morbid. Also, it would require more work than grabbing an foreign image of Terminator and writing an update about the update we wanted to do initially.

We might still do the Japanese firest thing down the track. Maybe.

Here’s one we prepared earlier…

We have no idea what this is about – but it’s the best bit of animation you’ll see all week. The music is also pretty incredible…

Okay, boring fact check bit. The track is called Truckers Delight and is by ‘Flairs’.
