We’re nearing the end of the summer, so it’s once again time to take a look back at my picks for the best of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2019.   Police Cops: Badass Be Thy Name I first saw the Police Cops a couple of years ago, and was totally taken in by their madcap, zany, energetic comedy performance. Their debut show saw them mock and pay homage to cheesy 80s buddy cop movies though jokes, physical comedy props and […]

When I began writing this, I was made all too aware of the seeming lack of Asian artists that are working in mainstream media right now. Because of my Asian heritage, I have always been more exposed to Asian art than most others, whether it’s Asian-Americans who are finally making it onto the charts or more local artists who are still striving to make it in their respective industries. There are many artists of Asian descent out there right now, […]

Museums are a pleasant way to wile away an afternoon out of the (nice, nasty, mediocre) weather; pick up a gift which will leave the recipient agog at your refined tastes; or taking a quick snooze as I saw two seniors do one warm afternoon. In the U.S. it’s hard to define the “best” since there are so many museums with so many exhibitions. Here are ten museums that are worth visiting. I’ve been to most of them. 1. The […]

When people think of Andy Warhol they think about many things. Soup cans, a studio space, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, music and a million other things. Warhol has become not just a staple of the art world, but also of popular culture in itself. Becoming Andy Warhol states its ambitious goal: “Before Andy Warhol could define an era, he had to define himself.” We start off in a midpoint of Warhol’s life. Living with family, before his initial fame, struggling to […]

For some, the idea of living in a treehouse is equated to bliss. There’s always the image of a beautiful treehouse, next to a clear ocean, with sand, or maybe even in a jungle. It’s something that makes the imagination of anybody who wants to ditch civilization salivate. Luckily, thanks to the photographs by Jacques Delacroix, we don’t have to imagine anymore. This large book of beautiful pictures would make the perfect addition to any coffee table. Even if you’re […]

There’s a scene in David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive that I pull up anytime I need to explain to someone who David Lynch is. Two men sit in a diner and one man explains how he has dreamt their meeting there before and the dream always includes a man who haunts around the back of the diner, feeling them both with terror. There’s nothing particularly gory or scary about the scene and, aside from a limp jump scare toward its conclusion, […]

There has never been an artist quite like H.R. Giger, and there probably never will be again. The mind behind one of the most iconic designs in horror and sci-fi, the xenomorph from the alien series, passed away in 2014. He also designed most of the sets and the general look of the first Alien film – there weren’t many shots that didn’t have a touch of Giger about them. His unique art has been a source of inspiration for […]

In the beginning, in May 1977, there was a little science fiction flick called Star Wars, created and directed by an up-and-coming young director, George Lucas. The movie was not expected to account for much according to many contemporary newspaper reviews. Being a long-term (since 1977) fan of Star Wars, I bought all of The Art of Star Wars books as they came out. Curious about the changes over time, I pulled out the six previous, laid them alongside the […]

The New York Public Library (NYPL) has released 180,000 copyright-free images into the public domain. The high-resolution collections were uploaded to the NYPL website on January 6 and can be viewed, downloaded and shared for free. Whilst a large portion of the photos document early 20th century New York City, some material goes back as far as the 11thcentury. On its website, NYPL said it had “enhanced access to all public domain items in Digital Collections so that everyone has the […]

Donald Trump is a divisive sort of chap. However, thanks to the work of Tumblr user ‘homopower’ you could just as easily describe him as dickvisive. That is, if you were so inclined as to enjoy truly terrible plays on words. The reason being that, yes, homopower decided to pay tribute to potential Republican presidential candidate and permanent bad hair day, Donald Trump, by way of a mosaic made of dicks; a mosaidick if you’re still of the terrible wordplay […]
