EVERYONE consider being a friend of PIX!

it’s a great deal — you get a silly good amount of music from awesome musicians who just wanna do what they love, t shirts, stickers, records, a zine, and just a ton of RAD SHIT!

pitch in $99 to keep a relatively unpopular music genre together! it’s the only folk punk record label!

MAN LIKE ME - Peculiar

The pastel colors, deadpan directing, seemingly random objects and the odd ways they're used come together to create campy eccentricity, served on a silver platter.

Hit the play button. Let it get stuck in your head. You won't regret it.

Earth Bound Sky Bound is a photography book created by Daniel Eatock. One photo per two pages, with the horizon of each photo hidden in the book's margin. I think it's genius--photos of horizons or photos with great distance in them can't ever capture the vastness of the scene, can't replicate the feeling of seeing it in person. The horizon hidden in the margin adds so much more dimension to the images.

Go here for more of his (fantastic) installations, sculptures, collaborations, and...I can't even categorize all of the stuff he's done. Check it out, he's pretty great. 

Go here if you're interested in purchasing the Earth Bound Sky Bound book.

Yuta Onoda

Working in illustration (digitally and traditionally, often combining the two methods) and painting, Yuta's paintings feel like the kind of dreams you only remember a snippet of in the morning. Memories, emotions, spirituality, and nature seem like big themes in his work--many of his paintings are even done on wood (like the one of the man holding the woman above, for example). He uses color excellently, using subdued and hyper shades just where they're needed, drawing the eye around every image. 

See more of his work here.

An installation by Alicia Eggert and Mike Fleming. 

"It employs 30 electric clock movements and 36 hour and minute hands. Once every 12 hours the hands align to spell the word ETERNITY."

Clever, simple, honest, and fun. Accessible art!

Check out the rest of Alicia Eggert's stuff here and more of Mike Fleming's art here.

Trailer for Machotaildrop, a film that appears to be a skateboarding-themed version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I can't wait to see this--it's right up my alley in terms of film preferences. What I gathered using the power of google is that it should be available to see (somehow) sometime this autumn.

This was the collaborator that eS worked with to make that video about the Manwolfs hi-tops I posted a few days ago (which, by the way, I DID end up getting a pair of. I'm a sucker for cool shoes).

Stay updated on the movie's premier at their facebook page.

Ruth Murray

While her paintings are almost photorealistic, the scenes they depict are not. Her paintings cast an eerie, dark glow over the beautiful and charming. All of her paintings feel like something out of a dream (or a nightmare). The way she paints is so...creamy, it gives the paintings a great visual texture. 

See her stuff here.

Pantone made a postcard box, full of 100 postcard-size color swatches! Pretty swanky. It'll set you back about $14.

eS Skateboarding brings us this crazy video about being a MANWOLF! I may buy myself a pair of those sweet blue suede hi-tops for the sole reason that this video makes them look so darn rad.

A 45-minute-long summer mix from Booooooom, really upbeat and summery with tons of variations flowing into one another. Plus, a sound clip from The Sandlot makes it ten times better.

Andy Gilmore

He uses color and pattern in such a manner that I feel like I'm going to fall into his designs...Some of them almost feel like fractals. Even though most of his work features triangles to some extent, the patterns never feel sharp--the colors and orientations of the triangles make his work feel soft. 

See more of his work here.

Aino Kannisto

A series of beautiful portraits of women. I love the contrast between the stark, direct portraits, faces visible, and the portraits where their faces are more hidden. She manages to bring a lot of emotion into a photo where most of the faces are completely emotionless.

Perfect music + slick directing + beautiful girls + longboarding = INSPIRATION

By Juan Rayos, longboarding by the longboard girls crew.

Captured Dreams (by Egor Kraft / Dopludό Collective)

Intricate illustration work. Wish I could see this in person.
