The trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film The Master was released yesterday, and though you can’t see much, there’s still a ton of potential. I’m definitely one of those people who doesn’t like to know anything about a movie, but here a tiny blip of what it’s about.

The film stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, and Laura Dern. The plot involves a religion called “The Cause” which has been compared to Scientology.

Based on the clip above, I have no idea what to expect. Joaquin Phoenix though seems like he’s going to give a pretty fantastic performance, so that’s exciting to look forward to. It’s not really surprising though, as P.T. Anderson tends to bring the best out of his actors. Is it too much to say that Paul Thomas Anderson is the best living director? Maybe The Master will seal the deal on that topic.

Boing Boing is arguably the go-to spot for culture on the Internet, the grandparent website to such culture destinations like Neatorama, Mental Floss, and Buzzfeed. We had the chance to meet up with and interview the man behind the Boing, Mark Frauenfelder, who co-founded the brand as a zine with his wife a few decades ago.

Mark is an extreme maker, someone who is constantly working on writing and editing and designing and even building little items from electronic devices to musical instruments, all of which he showed us. He’s a person who has an insatiable fascination with things and a need to share those things, hence why Boing Boing and MAKE (which he edits) are so exciting to read. And, equally as fascinating, the story of Boing Boing is one that maps the history of recent technology and how the Internet has enhanced magazines and journalism. Check out our interview with him on Los Angeles, I’m Yours, where he shares his story and shares tons of cool, crazy gadgets he made.

A couple weeks back I was browsing around YCN and admiring the really nice illustrations they have on their Case Studies page. This led me to discover Damien Cuypers, an illustrator who’s style I’m completely jealous of. There’s an expressiveness to his work. His lines are quick and rough, almost naive seeming, but there’s definitely purpose behind each one of them.

The images above ate from a series of two minute portraits he did at the Frieze Art Fair for NOWNESS. There’s something genius to me about John Baldessari’s green pickle-esque nose. If you enjoy his illustrations you should also check out this series of sketches he did for London Fashion Week over on T Magazine. A lot like the pieces above but with a fashion edge.
