Ummm, this is not a drill you guys! For years now we’ve marvelled and drooled in equal amount over Yayoi Kusama and her polka dotted genius and eccentric, enigmatic ways, and now it seems that the world has decided that they can’t get enough either! The Art Newspaper has crunched the numbers and the verdict is in, Yayoi Kusama’s exhibit, Infinite Obsessions, saw more than 2 million visitors while on display throughout South America. That’s close to 9,000 visitors a day, smashing records and breaking hearts all over the world.

Not only is Kusama a...

We’ve got a penchant for bright colours and popping patterns, and there’s a new book out by one of our absolute favourite artists covering all of these things that we wanna shout to hills and the seas about! French-born, Milan-based artist Nathalie Du Pasquier has just launched ‘Don’t Take These Drawings Seriously’; a compendium of hundreds of vibrant sketches that have been sitting unseen in her drawers for the past three decades of her career.

Nathalie began her career as a founding core member of the 80’s avant-garde collective of Italian designers and architects known as...

“Oh lordy.” That was our initial utterance when we first stumbled across the illustrated musings of Stockholm based architect and illustrator Maja Säfström. By now our vocabulary has expanded a little bit from “ffnuqwonfnnnng!!” to “wherecanwebuytheseplease!”. Okay, getting serious now, we absolutely adore this woman.

Not only is Maja Säfström obviously killing it with her creative work, but as previously mentioned, she’s an architect...

Jess Webb and Emily Glover are two talented ladies hailing from the isolated and quiet suburban town of Toowoomba in Queensland, Australia. They met at uni and soon fell into a deep and special friendship which encompassed a shared love of plants, print-making and lemon boobs. Jess started capturing their time spent driving around town listening to music, climbing into gardens and old houses on 35mm film. And Velvet Milk was born.

Jess moved to Brisbane a few months ago and we felt like we had to get them back together with a big, special, exclusive shoot directed, produced by and...

Mark Whalen’s work has always baffled us. The clean lines, perfect grids and flat print-like colour seem too hyper-real to all be created at the helm of his human hand. This Australian-born and LA-based artist has been rustling around the art world for a while now. Growing from a background in graffiti, some may recall the mayhem of his previous alias Kill Pixie, who sprayed crooked, evil faces around the streets of Sydney and Melbourne. Well, Kill Pixie grew up, removed the mask and transitioned into the fine art realms of paper, painting, ceramics, sculpture, animation...
