We are coming into the fourth week of Tiny Sketch, our 200 character processing competition, and we have over 230 submissions! We are very pleased with the range of creativity and experimentation that has taken place so far and we can’t wait to see what you will come up with next. There are only two weeks left before the voting process starts so don’t hesitate to Submit Your Sketch Today!
Also, tip to those wishing to learn more about Processing: John Maeda just published an essay on the early days of Processing in the September/October issue of Technology Review. Read Maeda’s article “When a Good Idea Works” here.
The madness has begun, and with shows around the corner a certain amount of grooming and refinement is expected. After seasons of success on the runways, Alyona Osmanova let Paul get out the scissors and trim her hair for the upcoming season.
‘Femininity is strength,’ say Rolf Horsting and Viktor Snoeren of Viktor & Rolf, the Dutch design duo who have turned women into everything from atomic bombs to Russian dolls. This October, they’re transforming them into Superwoman with their third fragrance Eau Mega, a playful twist on the Greek letter Omega. Housed in a narrow bulb spray with a golden seal, the supersized fresh floral, with notes of green basil, lemon, jasmine, and sandalwood, was created with the intention of empowering women. As Viktor & Rolf put it, Touched by Eau Mega, she comes the best at what she is good at. We’re sold. Rebecca Voight
Stan eating
My search for an intern is finally complete. I ended up not choosing any of the losers that actually applied for the job because they were all way lame. Instead I went with Stan—a random kid I found in the grocery store and thought was hot. Stan is nineteen and from south London. He’s been my slave for four whole days now and he’s super great. I love having him around so much that I’ve actually asked him to move in with us into our new squat. I’ve been introducing him to people as my boyfriend, which I think makes him feel slightly uncomfortable, but whatever, I make the rules bitch.
I was too lazy to write a blog post today so I got Stan to do it for me. This is what Stan has to say:
Being Carlie’s intern is dope. It was either this or an editorial internship at The New Yorker which would have probs been cool but way less sexy and I wouldn’t get to watch Hollyoaks as much. I do all kinds of crap here and I’m learning a lot. For example, yesterday I learned how to dye hair roots. I also learned all the words to “Since U Been Gone” by fat American reality TV pop star Kelly Clarkson. But mostly I spend my days watching Hollyoaks while Karlie is sleeping or puking because of her alcoholism and active nightlife. When she’s awake and not barfing she sometimes makes me feel her boobs which is weird. Sometimes she hits me. Sometimes she’s a mega bitch and yells at me for things like shoplifting the wrong size tampons or messing up the giant pile of trash in the living room which is apparently some kind of art installation.
Today is a busy day. Carlie is passed out but I’m helping her cast a soft-core gay porn which she’s filming in the basement. I’m also filming the gay porn during the times when she can’t hold the camera properly because she’s too wasted. I’m not gay I think but Carlie makes me test out all the guys auditioning, which includes kissing and sometimes hand jobs. I have to go now, the prostitute that lives in the kitchen needs to check her Facebook on my computer.
LOVE THE NAME. Pres casting starts tomorrow.

Liquid Villa depicts dreamlike states using a combination of architectural and abstract imagery. I refer to this work as “time-based painting”, and employ a painterly sensibility and process to create images that transform over time.
Liquid Villa begins with a series of patterns in deep, aquatic tones overlaid with an intermittent glowing vertical stripe or ray. This imagery eventually disintegrates to a view across a pool of water in an imaginary villa. This structure is in turn subsumed by a pale fog. When the fog dissipates, the scene has been reconfigured back into an abstraction. The fog, the abstract imagery, and the architecture are protean, slowly mutating into one another or recombining to create a sense of instability and unease.
— FROM THE ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Fresh on the heels of its awe-inspiring runway show at Copenhagen fashion week (dead crows as headpieces anyone?), Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair has launched its online store. Draping is the thing with these Swedes-like absolutely perfect draping-whether it’s a guy’s T-shirt with a stretched out neck and asymmetric hanging waist hem, or a dress with a bubbly, poofed-out topography. Sadly, the dead-crow headpieces are not available for export.www.shoerepair.se
