Photographer Milan Vukmirovic expresses his nostalgia on the past boyhood in his new L’Officiel Hommes spread dedicated to heroes, role models and boyish fantasies. Perfect match for the shoot is model Arthur Sales whose juvenile looks make the imagery look like vintage shots collected from grown-up kids or some garage sales in a town so unpopular it wouldn’t appear on

Grateful Grapefruit ♥ homocomix

We are proud to announce the beginning of a sexy nerdy collaboration between GRATEFUL GRAPEFRUIT and homocomix.

Caribou: Swim: Odessa

First came Tomorrow, In A Year by The Knife (which I am utterly incapable of reviewing, in the good sense); then came the news about the new Johanna Newsom Have One On Me album and now Swim by Caribou (release date April 16) – the new music decade is unstoppable and explosively inspiring.

Made in BG: KiNK

KiNK is a decent modest boy from Sofia. He is also one of the few DJs that will ever make it in MADE IN BG or in any other related post on Bulgarian club culture, scene or whatever not just only on GRATEFUL GRAPEFRUIT. The mixtape you find at the bottom of this post is the pure evidence for that

Nick Gentry: Floppy VHS portraits

Nick Gantry was a bit annoying as a boy. He used to collect all those floppy disks and VHS tapes – even his mother didn’t know what is wrong with her most beloved. Until one day he became famous for recycling his whole stash of old data carriers into art (see the gallery at the end for a detailed brief

Build Google car step-by-step guide

You definitely have heard about the Google Street View car visiting Berlin a week ago. Well If you haven’t, I can tell you that you have missed a lot. The guys from F.A.T. and their Fuck Google! week made it to an internal discussion during a meeting at Google according to a source in the internet giant. I have to

PLAN59: DESIGN DER 50er

Nennt mich traditionell und konservativ, aber ich muss mich jetzt outen – Ich habe eine geheime nostalgievolle Beziehung mit dem Design und der visuellen Kultur in den USA der 1950er Jahre.
