They don´t reinvent the wheel, but they really are proficient in the black-and -white T-Shirt thing.

Last year Rome-based designer duo Emeli and Diego aka 5Preview came up with their first Chanel fake and took the urban crowds by storm. Now, they present the third 5Preview T-Shirt edition and although i think it´s time to refresh the designs, i still like what Emeli and Diego do. (more…)

Every Christmas, my dad sorts the manifold components of our Lego empire. Three children and one dad who is crazy for building and constructing – this fact bestowed a room full of small parts made of plastics on my family. Unfortunately, the Lego isn´t really used, besides the Christmassy sorting-meditation of my dad. My brothers and me, we are grown up now, but not so much grown, that grand-children might come in sight. I wonder, if it could make sense, to abet my dad to do street art actions like Jan Vormann. At least, our neighborhood would get a colorful make-over and my dad…he would finally have a REAL reason to sort his Lego pieces every single Christmas.

The shown Lego artwork occurred in Bocchignano, a village next to Rome as part of a group project calles “20 Eventi”. German Artist Jan Vorman started his studies in Berlin and moved to St. Petersburg in 2007 to work, live and study in Russia. Last, he was presented at St. Petersburg C.A.G. Gallery with „Vo chto my igraem zavtra? With what are we playing tomorrow? “.
