Tiger Love is an indie UK band that plays some fun synth pop and, apparently, has a thing for eggs.

FKDL
Two summers ago, on a trip to Barcelona and Paris, we noticed several of these collages around the streets of both cities. Being a lover of collage, these FKDL (aka Franck Duval, a Parisian street artist) postings immediately appealed to me. Following up now on his work, I notice that he’s been adding more color to his paper cut-outs (à la Matisse) and QR codes as well. His work also reminds me a bit of Al Hansen’s Hershey collages.
Nike SB: Geoff McFetridge Paper Dunks
As part of the “Art in the Streets” Exhibition at MOCA in LA, Nike SB has created 24 unique pairs of Paper Dunks, each made from an original piece of Geoff McFetridge artwork. The shoes are on display at MOCA’s shop and will be auctioned on May 26, 2011 at 1pm. In addition, Nike SB has produced a series of specially packaged t-shirts by artists and skateboarders Neckface, Futura, Lance Mountain and CR Stecyk III.

Dosjotas: Escenas con Tiza
Spanish street artist Dosjotas has cleverly placed his Escenas con Tiza (Scenes with Chalk) in corners of Madrid. From top to bottom:

Trampolín mortal (Deadly Diving Board)
Haroshi: Future Primitive
“Haroshi makes his [three-dimensional] art pieces recycling old used skateboards. His creations are born through styles such as wooden mosaic, dots, and pixels; where each element, either cut out in different shapes or kept in their original form, are connected in different styles, and shaven into the form of the final art piece.”
His upcoming solo exhibition at Jonathan LeVine Gallery in NYC opens April 16th and runs through May 14, 2011.

Aakash Nihalani
Aakash Nihalani is an artist whose work consists mostly of isometric rectangles and squares made from fluorescent tape. He places these graphics around New York to “highlight the unexpected contours and elegant geometry of the city itself…For however briefly, I am trying to offer people a chance to step into a different New York than they are used to seeing…” via happymundane
Lego Lunch
Just when you thought there isn’t anything Lego-related left to come out with…
Lego Lunchboxes and Lego Drinking Bottles.

Classics in Lego
These classic photos recreated in Lego and photographed by Mike Stimpson made me chuckle. More here.
I’m No Banksy
iPhone photographer Aik Beng Chia created a series of photos he calls I’m No Banksy. He photographed people on the streets of Singapore and then used two apps (Blender and Cross Process) to combine them with Banksy’s images.

Chupa Chups
I found this advertising campaign by TBWA for Chupa Chups amusing.

Fun fact: the Chupa Chups logo was designed by Salvador Dalí in 1969.

Definitely has that percussion quality that I like.
The Duke Spirit – Don’t Wait
Dan and I heard this a couple of weeks ago (on a show that shall go unnamed) and really liked it. Still might not be rockin’ enough for the aunt, though…
