You’re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack is the title of a new book by the British cartoonist Tom Gauld. Over the last eight years Gauld has been creating a weekly cartoon for The Guardian and this beautiful hardback book is a compendium of many of his best works. Released through the Canadian publishers Drawn and Quarterly, the book features plenty of cartoons which havn’t been seen outside of the UK before.

Brad Simon, a Portland based creative, can seemingly do it all. He’s a designer, a typographer, an illustrator, and he even has a pretty sweet Instagram. Today though, we’ll be enjoying is illo skills with a great wallpaper he’s made for us called “Camp Vibes”. I thought this little guy was pretty rad, seemingly found the place he’ll make camp, and I love the simplicity of this piece, lots of negative space for all the files on your desktop.
Be sure to check back every Wednesday for a new wallpaper!

Renaissance paintings on LSD. That’s the best possible way to describe the work of Christian Rex van Minnen. Born in Providence, Rhode Island and now living in Brooklyn, Christian takes the traditional notions of oil painting and twists them into some of the most bizarre and grotesque pieces of art I’ve ever seen. They’re brilliant (and you’ve been warned).

It might sound dumb to say that a particular photographer “flattens space” because that’s what all photographers do… well, at least that’s what all cameras do. But some photographers are better at framing the environment around them and producing geometric compositions, like these from Jared Lim.

Beat Making Lab is an incredible new PBS show devoted to music and empowering young people. Created by producer/DJ Stephen Levitin (aka the Apple Juice Kid) in partnership with professor and hip hop artist Pierce Freelon, who both teach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Beat Making Lab crew brings portable studios “small enough to fit in a backpack” to youths around the world. Their goal is to make a social impact by giving young people the tools to change their lives through making songs and beats. The first episode takes Freelon and Levitin—in collaboration with Yole!Africa—to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
