A series of oil paintings by Japanese artist Sashie Masakatsu, depicting Man of Steel-ish gravity-defying spheres of compacted urban detritus floating above ruined landscapes.
The works envision a future where environmental disasters have made the cities depicted uninhabitable.
Is that what you want? ‘Cos that’s what’ll happen.
Australian graffiti artist Sofles painted two dozen pieces inside an abandoned warehouse somewhere in Melbourne. Part of the process was captured in timelapse by editor and filmmaker Celina Mills.

Saw two old ladies doing this chalk graffiti on east Essex street this afternoon. They ran away afterwards!
Chalk. Bless.
In 1991, sports car enthusiast Ken Imhoff started building a Lamborghini Countach in the basement of his house. In 2008, he ‘excavated’ it.
He’s since sold the Lambo and ‘given his life to Jesus Christ’. Sez he:
The car started out as a mission without GOD in my life. It was an exercise of human self-centered, egotistical, selfishness that just about ended my marriage and losing our home. The car at this point was a constant reminder of what I have done and I just wanted it out of my life.
Ken is currently building a 1953 Studebaker.

Dublin based stencil artist KEMP is having an exhibition in Vicar St. tonight prior to the Breeders gig from 6-8pm.
No invite required and you don’t need to be going to the gig to gain entry.
KEMP synopsises the night thus:
Chances of hipster presence- nailed on
Chances of tay – slim but wouldn’t totally rule it out
Chances of a bike being stolen- worth a punt
Chances of art featuring lost or cute pets, weather or things that look like Ireland- unfortunately nil.
Can only be defeated by the Lids of Love.
