Ferrari 512 BBi Is A Piece of Art
“When Holger Schubert created his studio-garage space, he did what any self-respecting, Ferrari-loving, minimalist architect would do: he took his work-of-art BB 512i and built everything around it. As any showcased work of art deserves to be, Holger’s car is in the spotlight and on the pedestal that is the studio garage, which was designed and built for the specific purpose of working and living alongside the Ferrari. Holger shares the details of his car and of his enviable space, which includes a 16-foot driveway bridge, a ramp to roll the car outside to start, and some of the best views a car can take in of the Pacific Ocean.”

Installation View: Stephen Powers – Visual Blues
On view at Alice Gallery in Brussels, Belgium through June 22nd, 2013.
“I’m in awe of the power and the reach of music. To compete with the majesty of music, i make paintings that are visual blues. I distill my everyday experience into paintings I call Daily Metaltations. They are painted very fast, fresh from the epiphanies that inspired them. The larger paintings draw from those metaltations and go to a deeper understanding of the transactions we make everyday to live our lives.”
—Stephen Powers
The Bike Maker
Made By Hand’s fifth short film. This one focusing on “bike maker Ezra Caldwell (Fast Boy Cycles), who was diagnosed with cancer in 2008. When the cancer threatens to shatter his love of bikes, Ezra survives by documenting his illness as thoroughly as his craft.”
Status Update
A battered Mark Zuckerburg cracks a broken smile in this new print from Katsu
“I spend a lot of time thinking about the implications of the Internet and where we are moving as a species. Tools and platforms that allow us to network and connect are truly defining who we are and what we believe. These iconic creators of such platforms like Mark Zuckerberg are worshiped in our society as peaceful innovators with only good intentions. But the truth is very different…” – Katsu
