London’s Victoria and Albert Museum commissioned Mark Blamire to create a poster in honor of everyone’s favorite returning musical hero, David Bowie. And in recognition of the man’s “chameleon-like persona” Blamire wrangled no less than 100 other designers to contribute a typographic tribute. The result–101 Bowies done up in various fonts and hand-lettered styles–is a […]
The thing about hiring competent young people is that other media companies swoop in on them. ANIMAL’s previous interns have been snagged by TIME, USA Today, Huffington Post and more. So, we’re looking for more paid interns who want to make stuff with us (look at this stuff we made last year). Also, we have a […]

With sledgehammer subtlety, its name suggests the ultimate alternative from the more exclusive and commercially-saturated art […]
Well, Trent did say “that the band is reinventing itself from scratch” so maybe this is that? Here’s a perfect mash-up of Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” and “Head Like a Hole” by Nine Inch Nails from PomDeter. PERFECT. NIN is going on tour starting this summer. Reznor. I missed you so bad. I missed you […]
While parts of the U.S. are gradually moving toward weed legalization, in Norway it may soon be legal to smoke heroin. On Friday, the Norwegian government announced that it would consider decriminalizing heroin inhalation — though injection and other forms of use would still be banned. Heroin is the most commonly injected drug in Norway, as […]
