I've been absolutely drowning in email lately. I think I did it to myself but
overwhelmed is not quite the word for it. If you're waiting on a reply from me, hold tight.
That said, instead of replying to those emails I'll compile a list of distracting and enjoyable videos for you. So, here you are:

From Slovenia to Poland and many points beyond,
Jason Gardner makes portraits of attendees at various Carnaval celebrations and they are
phenomenal. The selections above are a small smattering of the offerings but, hopefully, more than enough to entice a deeper dive into the full gallery. The creativity in these outfits is a mind-boggling combination of DIY folk, absolute beauty and nightmare fuel. I love it. See more on his website or Instagram,

Whenever I'm at a Flea Market or Antique Store of some sort I keep my eye out for old LIFE Magazines, LOOK Magazine or New York Magazines - publications of that ilk tend to have wildly inspiring typography, wonderful photography and even some interesting articles. They also can serve as a nice repository of art to use in new projects, if you're willing to push that copyright boundary a little bit (let's be honest, it happens a lot).
Google Books has a
massive archive of LIFE magazines, scanned in and ready for your perusal. It's not quite as fun as digging through a random crate at a Flea Market but there's no lack of inspiration to be found.
You can go all the way back to
1935 or as recent as
Dec 1972.

Through some accidental happenstance, I ended up on the mailing list of the label
Blues Funeral - a small indie mostly known for releasing stoner rock (their term, not mine). They recently sent out an update about the forthcoming release of
Refractions, the first new album from Lowrider in some 20 years.
I don't have any personal history with the band or their prior work but I'm liking what I'm hearing. If you, like me, enjoy a bit of Kyuss / early QOTSA or something more modern like The Sword; let this please your ears.

Loving this little dive into pulp art from a treasure trove of Mexican comic books and magazines from the fifties, sixties and seventies. Of course they come with a slightly unfortunate back story (See below) but the work itself is phenomenal.
These artists produced work for Mexican comic books and pulp magazines during the fifties, sixties, and seventies. Unfortunately, most were treated like casual labourers, hired on a daily or weekly basis. They painted with tempera on wood or cardboard. It was cheap and fast. The demand for their work was high. During the mid-1970s, an estimated 56-million comic books were produced every month in Mexico. The population of Mexico at that time was 65-million.
