Beautiful New Album by Bon Iver

Hailing from Wisconsin, Bon Iver is back with a self titled album that will make you swoon. Contrary to his beautiful “For Emma, Forever Ago” album, this new release is full of positivity and upbeat instrumentation.

Amazing Hair and Hat Etchings by Albin Brunovsky

I was browsing Evo’s blog the other day and came across a great set of images by the Czechoslovakian artist Albin Brunovsky. I’d never seen his work before but was immediately taken by his intricate etchings. His fantastical hair and hat illustrations are so powerful and somewhat distressing. Brunovsky is apparently considered the greatest Slovakian […]
