Fantasies and Fears Surround the Beds of Illustrated Characters by Virginia Mori

We love the illustrations of Italian artist Virginia Mori (previously) who adds a subtle hint of dark humor to her quirky illustrations of young women and men.

Each illustration presents an improbable or unique vision of a bedroom—from a bed composed of live grass, to another balanced on the tips of four trees. The illustrations seem to peek into her subjects’ dreams, projecting their hidden hopes or fears onto their surroundings as they slumber.

His last film, Chang-ok’s Letter , was an hour-long...

House music for those missing the sweaty dance floor, psych-tinged lounge, industrial electro-pop and more new music Solomun: Home From Hamburg-based DJ and producer Solomun (aka Mladen Solomun), sweeping house track “Home” exists as an ode to the “sacred rooms” that were built for music.
