Very cool.

Magnus Muhr






I saw these in The Metro on the way home from work today and thought they were really funny.
Sweedish Magnus Muhr (good name) creates the pictures from dead flies he finds in lights and windows and then painstakingly arranges them with tweezers, drawing on legs and backgrounds with pencil.
Simple but very effective.

RIP Alexander McQueen





















I cannot claim to have been a follower of Alexander Mcqueen and neither did I know much about him. But the tragic news of his death last week prompted me to find out more.
Crowned 'British Designer of the Year' four times between 1996 and 2003, it is commonly thought that McQueen's defining moment was the resurection of the 'bumster' jean, in the 90's.
I think the most character defining report I have read so far is the story about him sewing 'I am a c**t' into the sleeve lining of Prince Charles' suit. Hilarious!
