For the past three years and change, Isac Walter has been wearing a different band t-shirt every single day, documenting his outfits on his blog, Minor Thread. On Monday, he reached number 1,000, and posted the above picture of every shirt he’s donned so far. According to a blog post, arranging the tees took four […]
Migos’ No Label II is a good mixtape, but it’s also 25 tracks long. Commenting on the tape at Pitchfork, Carrie Battan wrote, reasonably, that she would “enjoy this mixtape quite a bit if it were six to eight tracks shorter.” Well, here’s 10 Track Tapes, a new project from Meaghan Garvey aimed at “streamlining new and […]
Cloaque — a collaborative, Exquisite corpse-style digital art project from Carlos Sáez and Claudia Maté — just celebrated its 2nd anniversary. “314,377 pixels are a lot, 464 posts are a lot, 67 artists are a lot — but two years mean nothing, specially when talking about a never ending project,” Cloaque’s Sáez and Maté tell ANIMAL. Artists in Cloaque created original vertical artworks […]
If you want to to get in on the Flappy Bird clone craze but lack the skills to build a proper game, try build-a-bird, a Tumblr-based web app that lets you choose a set of images with which to recreate the notoriously difficult game. Above, my Twitter avatar navigates a hideous landscape filled with Guy […]
Artist Andrew Benson’s new ongoing GIF Tumblr Wolf + Unicorn tells the story of a codependent and violent relationship between a unicorn and a wolf. Benson’s GIF for the David Bowie tribute projections at his retrospective was similarly psychotic. He’s also lent a texture coordinate manipulation shader to Adam Ferris for his glitch work. His earlier, more complex work includes INTOTHEZONE — a video […]
An Easter egg was recently unearthed in the Hell panel of Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights. As posted by Tumblr user chaoscontrolled123 discovered “music written upon the posterior of one of the many tortured denizens.” And so, some 500+ years later, the music student decided to transcribe it “into modern notation, assuming the second line of […]
There’s a story in the Chicago Reader this morning: “The anti-Vivian Maier.” Apparently, some dude in Chicago found a plastic bag of photos and slides on top of a dumpster, gave it to some other dude — Paul-David Young, “an occasional curator who works in the imaging department at the Art Institute” was “fascinated” with them. By a […]
Wikipedia is an unimaginably vast source of information. For every extensively annotated article on Jesus Christ or the history of New York City, there’s a smaller post on an esoteric topic like Microporellidae or the Russian footballer Gennady Logofet. Wiki Picks, a Tumblr devoted to trawling and showcasing this stranger side of the free encyclopedia, has been […]
Some games go to painstaking lengths to make their environments believable: fake products get integrated marketing campaigns, side characters wear realistically put-together outfits, original art hangs on the walls of houses. The Video Game Art Archive Tumblr focuses on the latter, compiling the stuff that’s hanging on walls in classic games like Castlevania, Legend of Zelda: […]
CHECK UR CIS PRIVILEGE, U ENTITLED DANDYFEMME-PATRIARCHAL, MIDDLE-CLASS-OVERPRIVILEGED RAPE-APOLOGIST HETERO-NORMATIVE REDDITOR BIGOT!!!!! ٩(×̯×)۶ Here’s a great new github that auto-generates text parodying language and sentiments found in the (certain) queer-friendly injustice-hating realms of Tumblr. Here: Tumblr Argument Generator, with “Tumblr Grammar” and longer “rant” versions available. Pretty funny and cathartic. Although, may I point to a certain rift in […]
