The site its all about portraying celebrities, but giving them the look of a 80′s videogame. I just love every edition they publish.

Check out the comments of the entries to see the people’s guess about who they are.

I love this last one  ( :

TOPLESS

Their work covers installations, graffiti,  illustration, clothing, and many more disciplines, all mainly based on graphic design and with a very strong component of a -sarcastic- sense of humor.

Disposable Technology: A response to our consumer relationship with technology and obsolescence. By Kyle Bean

About Me

I was born in Devon and gradually migrated across the south coast of England before settling in Brighton. I am passionate about developing creative ideas which I often resolve through animation and three dimensional forms. I am coming to the end of my degree in Illustration at the University of Brighton.

I have been involved in projects for clients including Ford, The New York Times and BBC. My work has also been featured in the book ‘Tangible: High Touch Visuals’ and magazines including Computer Arts and ARC Design in Brazil.

Recently I have gained experience working with Brighton-based animation studio KANOTI, CRUSH(Design and Art Direction) and BLINK production company in Soho.

3D Newspaper: Metro Re-create Competition. By Kyle Bean

Hi! irI5 here… I am an artist who specializes in using non traditional media… old books, cassettes, playing cards, magazines, credit cards… whatever I can find. It feels great to work with strange, older materials. Things that have a mind of their own. Most everything I use has been thrown away or donated at some point. Past its prime, like some of the finest things in the world. : ) I welcome all questions and comments.
Thank you for stopping by!

I found his work pretty interesting, I like the idea of the artist becoming back to life straight from his work. Also iri5 shows some collage related works. Check it out:

Ghost in the Machine: The Clash

Ghost in the Machine- Tom Waits

Muhammad Ali

Holy cow, are we in a boom time for mouth-watering box sets right now or what? (See: the news story directly below this one.)

Pixies superfans are in for a real treat with Minotaur, the previously reported gargantuan box set that rounds up the band’s studio recordings and videos with a live DVD, new artwork, and a book. Now, we’ve got the rundown of Minotaur‘s contents, as well as a glimpse inside the set, which is available for presale starting today at the Artist in Residence website. It will ship to buyers between late September and mid-October.

Minotaur will be available as a $175 Deluxe Edition and a $495 Limited Edition (not $450, as previously reported). The Limited Edition is pictured at the top of this story. Here’s what the Deluxe Edition looks like:

For the details of what’s inside the box set, plus video of what it looks like, click below.

In a Minotaur press release, Pixies drummer David Lovering says, “It’s beyond my expectations. I thought it was going to be your typical box set, but it’s monstrous, I’ve never seen anything like it.” And indeed, this thing is pretty astounding. Packaged by designer Vaughan Oliver and photographer Simon Larbalestier (the team behind all of the Pixies’ original artwork), with brand new artwork for everything, it looks like something that belongs in a museum, rather than a record shop. The Limited Edition weighs 25 pounds and stands two feet tall. 25 pounds and two feet tall! Be careful that it doesn’t fall on any small children or pets!

Here’s what’s in the Deluxe Edition, all stuffed inside a “custom dual-chambered slipcase”:

• Come on Pilgrim (1987), Surfer Rosa (1988), Doolittle (1989), Bossanova (1990), and Trompe le Monde (1991) on 24k gold-plated CDs, mastered for 5.1 surround sound
• Come on Pilgrim (1987), Surfer Rosa (1988), Doolittle (1989), Bossanova (1990), and Trompe le Monde (1991) on DVD/Blu-Ray discs, mastered for 5.1 surround sound
• DVD/Blu-Ray of a previously unreleased 1991 performance at Brixton Academy in London
• DVD/Blu-Ray of every Pixies video
• 54-page art book

Seems like a hell of a lot, right? Well, the Limited Edition includes everything that’s in the Deluxe Edition PLUS:

• Come on Pilgrim (1987), Surfer Rosa (1988), Doolittle (1989), Bossanova (1990), and Trompe le Monde (1991) on 180-gram virgin 12″ vinyl, cut from the original analog tapes
• Faux fur hardcover 96-page art book
• Two 48″ X 36″, double-sided, fold-out, four-color wall posters
• A 22″ X 14″ Giclée print of brand new Larbalestier photo

Whew! Only 3000 copies of the Limited Edition will be made, but all of them will be signed by all four Pixies and Oliver. Oh, and the whole shebang comes housed in a “custom clamshell container that resembles the Monolith from the classic film 2001: A Space Odyssey,” according to a press release. Good god.
