Ooh, look. Five lucky people could win one of my lovely posters for the crazy Greek film DOGTOOTH.

These are beautiful. I spent most of my youth wondering if there was a use for the circuit boards I had meticulously extracted from old TVs. Finally someone with some actual skill has crafted them into something practical and aesthetically pleasing.

Absolutely beautiful illustration from the 50s, still so fresh and relevant today.

I find this kind of book defacement art inexplicably thrilling. I think it may be a combination of the delicate beauty of the final artefact, and the illicit wrongness of slicing up a book, albeit in a meticulous, craftsmanlike way.

Utterly bizarre. OK, I can understand the drugs and counterfeit merchandise, but… a pitcher of salami? Lard? And as for the animals / partial animals…definitely some sort of horror movie sub-plot going on here.

Shockingly misanthropic public space design here, but easily circumvented, surely? I mean, it's inconvenient for the general public to carry large boards around to place on top of the spikes, but if you spent a lot of time sleeping on benches (as this is presumably meant to deter) it wouldn't be too difficult. Perhaps the market will come up with its own solution, the PortaBoard. To be seen on Dragon's Den soon.

More and better pictures of the pencil carving. Impressive.
