Until the end of summer Tom Hamel (Tuhdeh) is doing his half year internship at our studio. We just want to congratulate him for being featured at Behance today with his intriguing series of Ghettobots paintings. If you yourself want to be intern at Momkai for the next period (September to January) just send us an email.

Father’s Day is coming up here in the Netherlands. Don’t know what to give yet? Be original. Give him a tie!

In the future information is expressed in 3d. So what would that look like? In Johnny Holland Magazine they showcase some ideas.

No matter how nasty the word manhole may sound, these Japanese painted manhole covers are pretty nice. They are not street art, this is the way they were originally made.

Digital artist Lukasz Karluk and sculptor/painter Maddi Boyd did a museum project where you can interact with the different layers of graffiti on one canvas. Shot using time-lapse photography.

The comics by Peter de Wit are great. Like the ones he used to do with Hanco Kolk, for instance Gilles de Geus and Mannetje & Mannetje. His solo work is just as good with comics like Chef, Familie Fortuyn and ofcourse Sigmund. An expo about this cynical character just opened in the Strip Museum in Groningen.

This made me laugh. A blog with awkward family photos!

A great topic on cult cinema forum Cinehound about VHS covers which were designed for a surprising long list of action films that feature the combination of machineguns, a jungle and soldiers with feelings of vengeance. Classic titles like Heroes For Hire, Terrorist Commando, No Blood No Surrender and Movie In Action.

Here & There is a is a pretty smart horizonless map project by S&W. These maps show Manhattan from an uptown and downtown point of view. At the bottom the buildings stand upright in front of you, and the farther you go the flatter the map gets. Nice! Prints from a limited run are available for purchase.

Some crazy experimenting with the ultra-wide fisheye lens by Heiwa 4126 from Japan. If you like this, also check out Monsieur Gadl’s “Wee Planet” set.

You’re gonna love the stunning photography of Stuart Gibson! Especially all you surfers and skaters out there!

Take a camera. Put it on a tripod. Invite people from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s or 90’s. Style them with glasses, bow tie, bowl cut, moustache or top nice sweaters against a tasteful background of bricks, ladders, lasers, books, grills or roller blinds and you have yourself a celebration of sexy people.

New Yorkers as seen by Danish photographer Peter Funch. He stakes out street corners in the Big Apple and takes pictures of the wild array of people that pass by. He stays on one spot and shoots a serie of photos. Back in the studio he creates intriguing compositions based on a specific theme.

Just hit the stores today: the new Aarsman collection entitled ‘Ik zie ik zie’. Every week Hans Aarsman writes a column in the Volkskrant in which he analyses a photo. Every time it’s a joy to read all the info and meaning his sharp eye collects out of one photo. I love it when people are good observers. The book is in dutch by the way.

and he shoots really nice pictures! I especially like the break dance series.

Yesterday I was packing my stuff because I’m moving, and I found some old surf magazines. It reminded me of a photographer called Clark Little. The position in which he shoots the waves is really dope! Today, I saw my girl blogging it on her website. Now ain’t that a coincident!?

Strange site. Strange photos. Explainthisimage.com is all about those images where you can’t wrap your head around. A growing collection of pictures from the far corners of the web that make you say ‘hmm WTF’.

All those contests where you could choose popstars, musical stars, cooks, even politicians… After all that there’s finally a public jury contest that makes sense. Choose who will be in the next issue of Playboy.

Some funny photography that looks great.

There are some spending fanatic arabs around. No credit crunch for some. A Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren, already one of the most expensive cars around, has been spotted in the United Arab Emirates fully built in white gold. Estimated to cost around 50 Million dollars.

Old trick but very nice executed! Check this Ice piece on the sidewalk done by Edgar Müller.

Click and drag your way through High-speed footage of four Heineken products.

Close up portraits and compositions of action figures and other toy dolls, by Daniel and Geo Fuchs. Somehow it makes them look more alive. Btw, who the hell created a Hitler doll?

Due to all my posting enthusiasm I sometimes forget that this site is also about presenting your new work. That’s what reminded me to post this branding and design of software cases by us for Vabi Phinix and Numex software.

Boring billboard promoting albums of Ms. Aguilera, Lewis & Spears has been made into a funny work of streetart by the FTW crew (Mr.Tailon/ Baveux Prod/ Kone/ Epoxy)

The classic Dutch comic magazine Eppo (ah.. good memories) will make a comeback on the 29th of January with new adventures of among others Storm, Dirkjan, Franka, De Partners and Agent 327.

If you’re fed up with christmas cheer and joy to the world, have a look at Boogie’s gritty photography portfolio. This Brooklyn-based Serbian also keeps an interesting photo blog.

To stay on topic, but keeping the homepage of New Work a nice place: Here’s the 2009 Pirelli Calender. Sorry Pascal, but Pirelli does it better.
