Yehrin Tong’s Dizzying Patterns
Amazing work from London-based illustrator Yehrin Tong. She creates illusory, eye-boggling patterns with unbelievable precision. More work on her portfolio.
Awesomely Trippy Music Video: Kasper Bjørke – “Young Again”
Why is it that Scandinavians get to be cooler than everyone else? Case in point: Danish producer Kasper Bjørke’s new video, “Young Again,” the first single from his album “Standing on Top of Utopia,” due out in February ‘10. The video looks like he ripped open a bottle of acid and somehow ended up in [...]
Music Video: Midnight Juggernauts – “This New Technology”
This New Technology – Midnight Juggernauts from midnight juggernauts on Vimeo.
It doesn’t get much trippier than this. Loving this song as well as the video. There are a lot of great acts coming out of Australia these days, (Empire of the Sun, Pnau) and Midnight Juggernauts are one of my favorites. Video by Special Problems, [...]
Oliver Vernon: Explosions of Ink and Color
Very inspired by the work of Oliver Vernon. It’s kind of an assault on the eyes, but in a good, visually stimulating way. I could lost in one of these for a while, there’s so much to look at. Very dynamic and energizing; if I could afford one I’d definitely have a print on my [...]
Joshua Kirsch: Interactive Light Sculpture
Concentricity 96 from Joshua Kirsch on Vimeo.

Yellena James’ Oceanic Abstractions
Yellena James makes some really intricate, textural work with abstract forms reminiscent of sea creatures. She has a nice collection of drawings and paintings on her portfolio site, as well as a large and decently-priced set of prints available at her Etsy shop. Worth a look.
Music Video: Air – “Sing Sang Sung”
AIR MUSIC VIDEO SING SANG SUNG from MATHEMATIC SAS on Vimeo.
Another trippy music video from Air (do we expect any less from them at this point?) This one’s produced by Mathematic Studio.
Matei Apostolescu’s Intricate, Imaginative Illustrations
I’ve been a fan of Matei’s ever since I bought this piece as an iPhone skin (totally bitchin’ and inexpensive; pick one up here). It’s a pleasure to look at every day and I get a ton of compliments on it. He has a huge body of work, and also offers free wallpaper and icon [...]
Ryan McGinness’ Technicolor Psychedelia
Dubbed “a Warhol for the information age,” (Afterimage) and “a leading pioneer of the new semiotics,” (Vogue) Ryan McGinness stuns and delights with his technicolor mashups of pop culture icons. He’s represented by Deitch Projects, which seems very fitting, and you can view his work here.
