As much as I love nudity, it’s universally accepted that clothing is an entirely necessary evil. Evil is always more potent in gorilla form, as per this t-shirt. Bonus points for the delicious blonde.

Kinect – such an ugly word. No matter – enjoy these beautifully conceived ads by advertising juggernaut McCann Erickson.

I’m not entirely sure who Brian Hart is, but his light paintings are certainly very interesting.

Göran Hugo Olsson’s The Black Power Mixtape examines the evolution of the Black Power Movement in the black community and Diaspora from 1967 to 1975. The film combines music, startling 16mm footage (lying undiscovered in the cellar of Swedish Television for 30 years), and contemporary audio interviews from leading African-American artists, activists, musicians and scholars.

It’s on in London this weekend at Curzon Soho on Shaftesbury Avenue. Interested? You can see the trailer here.

Illustrator Caitlin Clarkson’s Animal Alphabet (abbreviated to the rather ugly moniker ‘Anibet’) is very pretty indeed. Digging the J for Jaguar… sadly X is not for XJS in this instance.

Eye Sea Posters – terrible pun for a name, excused by the great selection of Polish movie posters.

Silent treatment

A veritable army of mimes (well, approximately 120) is helping to chastise bad drivers in Caracas, the Venezuelan capital. It’s a great idea, but I think midgets or albinos would be much more effective.
