parkour motion reel from saggyarmpit on Vimeo.

Parkour is a funny old thing.  It's super cool when you people who are good at.  And extra-specially lame when you see someone who isn't. 

This video, on the other hand, is extra extra specially cool.

Sorry about the lack of posts lately.  Christmas, newyears... y'know what I mean, right?

Anyway, here's a video that made me smile.  This guys name is Catfish and he busks on the streets of Sydney.

It takes a certain kind of someone to have screaming, pooing, puking kids sit on their knee all day.

Let's face it, a creepy kind of someone.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Sketchy Santas.

Awesome.

My friend Kate sent me this video, and I cant stop watching it. 

It's an installation piece by Dutch artist, Zeger Reyers.  I have to say I don't know much about our ol'mate Zeger.  But the video tickled me pink.

The tension is awesome.  It's like the feeling you get when a biro is rolling towards the edge of a desk times a bazillion.

I can't remember where I first saw this one, but I think I'm obsessed with it.

My Parents Were Awesome

The idea is pretty simple.  People just send in old pictures of their parents before they were, well, their parents.

We're the last generation of people who will know the pleasure of dusting off an old cardboard box full of photos and flipping through to find these little gems.  Make the most of it, I say.

We were lucky enough to get along to a preview screening of Zombieland the other night.  I have to say, expectations weren't high, but as soon as the opening credits started to roll, everything changed.

I was blown away by the awesome use of typography in this film.  Design nerds will love it.

Apart from that though, it's just a fun, unpretentious, visually stunning movie.  Also, it has Bill Murray.  WIN.

Hot Dog!  The first in a series of six impossibly cool art-inspired hotels has opened in Prahran, Melbourne.

The Cullen (named after Australian artist and Archibald prize winner, Adam Cullen) is a 115 room hotel on Commercial Rd which features Cullen's original paintings, prints and sculptures dotted around the place. 

The building really is pretty breathtaking, and although we haven't been lucky enough to spend the night there (freebies are of course, very welcome), we're sure that the whole experience would be pretty amazing.  After all, how many hotels have an in house curator?

I saw this over at Swiss Miss and thought it was too good not to pass on.

I'm really digging the music of Paper Plane Project at the moment.  I cant say i know anything about them except for what it says on their myspace, but it seems like they flip back and forth between Australia and the states bit.  Dunno.  But well worth checking out.
