Auto Mechanics recreate Renaissance painters

Freddy Frabris has been working in the advertising industry for the last 16 years. As such he is no stranger to shooting high performance cars for clients like BMW, Toyota and Ford. But in his latest series he decided to create unusual versions of famous Renaissance paintings using Auto Mechanics.

R.I.P. Prince :(

2016 has been brutal, so many talented people lost. This is the level of genius we lost yesterday. Watch Prince come in and blow this song up at the end with an amazing solo 🙁

“All people care about nowadays is getting paid, so they try to do just what the audience wants them to do. I’d rather give people what they need rather than just what they want.” – Prince

Bowie described this video (and the video for his subsequent single, “China Girl”) as “very simple, very direct” statements against racism and oppression.

The Land of Giants

First of all I think its pretty cool that Iceland had a electrical pylon design competition in 2008. So credit to Icelandic electrical transmission company Landsnet and the Association of Icelandic Architects. I can’t quite believe its 2015 and I’m only reading about this now! But its lovely so better late than never. I remember travelling around Australia and seeing vast swaths of the environment mown down by these pylons and wires. It always looked so destructive to me. So to find a way of making something that scars the environment into something of beauty is wonderful. Continue Reading →
