Simple fact: every time that we Gophers are not capable of finding something on the Inter-webs the same intense feeling pervades us. We feel like huge, clumsy sea-boats, incapable of capturing the hands of small, marooned people. Or small marooned librarians with PhDs in magazine-making. Or small marooned pastry chefs when we just had three […]
Snuggle Up with Candice Tarnowski
After taking a tour through Candice Tarnowski’s works on her website, reading that she was born in the Canadian Prairie seemed almost obvious. Tarnowski’s media – textile and installation – are rooted both in the highly cerebral and in the very basic quest for comfort, it seems. We found ourselved overtaken by this comfort, by […]
Gonduras: Critters, and Self Exposure
Gonduras Jitomirsky is a self-taught photographer, illustrator and all ’round artist living and working in Tel Aviv. We befriended him on a website and were captivated by his critters, but know little about him except the amazing self-description he posted on his website, which we reproduce in whole. Also check out his blog, his other […]
In search of Emmanuel Polanco
Like many of our posts, we owe this internet-find to our incredible clumsiness. We search, we fail and in failing find something radically more exciting. Emmanuel Polanco is an illustrator who works in France, whose work we recognize from Philosophie Magazine, of all places. We came upon his page on Computerlove, got really excited and […]
Young Studios brings the flashcards
So far, the Eye Candy section has featured design, photography, painting and work that is beautiful and belongs – in one form or another – in the pantheons of the artworld. This very special and highly experimental edition (I fear Lope might smite me for this post) features something a little more candy, a little […]
Mark Weaver we love you very much
A couple of weeks ago we started our annual “things we’re suckers for” list with an [ adorable ] website that looked like an old computer desktop. Today we bring you the second installment of the series: things we’re suckers for 002: collages that incorporate 50’s imagery. The faded colors, mechanical composition, basic geometric shapes […]
“Le Grand Content”: A Clemens Kogler oldie
An old favorite of the Gopher, the Le Grand Content video is something we have bumped into in many different times and places. A document on the omnipresent PowerPoint culture, it reminds us that advertising agencies, sales teams and strategy fellas are always out there, lurking behind sharp corners, trying to categorize us. A good […]
Meet Matilde
We posted this interview last week, and like the elusive lens of the most sneaky it disappeared before we realized it. So once again we bring you the work of Matilde Travassos, a fashion photographer by trade who is living in Lisbon. She has agreed to answer our every curiosity. 1. what lessons have you […]
Matt W. Moore
Our last post in this section ended in attributive mystery, so this one is titled and linked for your derivative viewing pleasure. According to his website, Matt (can we call you Matt?) just had a solo exhibition named “Parallel Universe” in Sao Paulo which included the painting of a rather large, colorful, geometric, tripping-the-light-fantastic mural. […]
Happiness in the Kitchen
Oh, but how we’d be thrilled to preach on a saturday. Point being, we saw this and liked it, so we post it and a link – with regards – to the source: Imagepaste? EDIT: It seems that this image link leads nowhere. In the interest of not deleting things, please, if you know who […]
