Johan Theeuwes who is a illustrator and graphic designer decided to come up with this idea of using blocks that are painted on every side. The idea is that you can play with the blocks to make your own story with them. He stated he decided to do this project because it forced himself to not work with the computer and practice/experiment more, each block is 40 x 40 cm. If you get a chance you should check out some of his other works on his site.

I had to do a post on Mark Weaver and his works. I have been enjoying his colorful collages while enjoying the textures and styles in which he portrays his works. His works combine geographic landscapes and architecture, along with scientific and found photography to create some interesting stories. Weaver has done a lot of work with Wired Magazine, New York Times and many more. He was just recently in an article called "Overcoming Creative Block" written by Alex on ISO50 which is a good article by the way. Mark is definitely on the high mark for being one of my top favorite graphic designers.

MGMT will be releasing their new album Congratulations on April 13th. Unfortuanlty the album is already floating around on the internet due to a leak. So the psych-pop duo Andrew WanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser have gone ahead and posted the entire album as a free stream, and you don't have to fill anything out to listen to it.
The band has left a message on their site that states Hey everybody, the album leaked, and we wanted you to be able to hear it from us. We wanted to offer it as a free download but that didn't make sense to anyone but us. The band is trying a new tatics on this release in which they will not release or promote any one song from the album. They are requesting that listeners and radio stations play the songs that jump out to them. From listening to this release it is not like their old stuff with the fun, electro-rock singles.This release is more of a psychedelic, space inspired CD.
I have also added a cover track by Jonsi from Sigur Ros who I think does an amazing job on covering "Time to Pretend" by MGMT.
