On a sunny Sydney morning, we headed to Cockatoo Island’s vast abandoned factories and forgotten alleyways for some cool street art at the Outpost Project featuring homegrown talents such as Kid Zoom as well as international artists such as Banksy. The art has changed and evolved throughout the festival to give visitors something different to see. One of our favourite highlights was walking through the dark Dog Leg Tunnel which cuts through the centre monolith that crowns the Island with 30 hand picked Australian artists lining the sandstone walls. Enjoy some of our photos from Outpost here. (more…)

We came across this cute yet somewhat creepy animated video the other day and it got us under our skin – literally! We don’t know much about the person behind except that he goes under the alias corisuke on Vimeo and has so far only one video updated on his profile. We can’t wait for more to come. Enjoy. (more…)

Absolut Crystal Pinstripe bottle is an exquisite re-interpretation of the iconic Absolut bottle. Created by the Swedish design duo Magnus Skogsberg and Mimmi Smart, the limited edition includes 800 bottles made from crystal sourced from the traditional Reijmyre Glasbruk of Sweden.

It is the country’s second largest glassworks house which has been around since 1810 and turned 200 years last year.

Each bottle is individually numbered by the specific craft master and naturally comes at a hefty price tag of $1,500 each. A black edition will also be released in a very limited run of 10 units at a price around $10,000! (more…)
