The Stanley FuBar Demolition Bar ($20):

Forged from high carbon alloy steel, this ingenious tool features everything you need to strike, pull, pry, chisel, and chop down old material, including a P-shaped chisel, multiple nail pullers and strike-able surfaces, and a padded handle to reduce slippage.

Sure you could take down a house with it, but the best feature is the name.

Two sculptural lamps originally intended for London Underground’s current ‘Art Below’ exhibition, but subsequently banned for being too offensive.

UK artist Whatsisname is currently offering copies for sale. Each piece takes a month to make. Good Boy (top, the larger of the two) is £2,500 and Good Puppy is £1,000.

And yes, you step on the ‘turds’ to turn the lamps on and off.

The Tide is High But I’m Holding On.

By ADW who sez:

The original intention was to create a positive, hopeful piece of artwork depicting our capital city’s skyline set against a tiger-striped sunrise. The Tide Is High But I’m Holding On took over 120 hours to cut the six-layered stencil and is easily the most ambitious canvas I have painted to date.

 

The cover is part of a street art group show which opens in the Culture Box this evening (click here).
