Artist Adly Syairi Ramly created these damn cute LEGO version of iconic bands like The Beatles and The Pixies, custom painting the figures IRL, with no photoshop.

We don’t have much to go in trying to interpret what the hell is going on in these photos of Skull x Skull that Tod Seelie shot for us. The event is put on by Skidmarxxx every Sunday of SXSW. It starts in the afternoon and goes until the cops shut it down, every time. Geographically, it’s within the city limits of […]
