Kutiman is an artist that takes YouTube videos and turns them into musical magic.
He starts by sampling the various clips that users have uploaded onto YouTube, such as a guitar lesson or a drum demo, and then combines them, along with the videos, into something else entirely. It’s a bit hard to explain, so I suggest that you just watch and see:
If you liked that, he’s created six more tracks that follow a similar structure, and all are available through YouTube on his site. (Which features a fantastic, destroyed-YouTube design, and is worth a look all on its own.)
Theory11, the ‘underground magic & cardistry epicenter’ has created a line of playing cards that are simply unparalleled.
Lines include Propaganda (Playing cards uniquely engineered to military precision, with original, iconic style and unsurpassed quality.

Bicycle Centurions (the next standard in playing card design) Bicycle Guardians (The traditional Bicycle back design has been reborn.) and a collaboration with David Blaine called Split Spades, and each is more stunning than the next.

It’s also a heart warming and inspiring way to start off the week, so enjoy:
Wrecked Magazine put together a little montage of the action that took place during the recently completed Red Bull Drifting Championship in Long Beach, CA, and it’s a beautiful look at the current stars of this ‘slideways’ sport and the magic that happens when four wheels and a lot of horsepower tiptoe on the edge of disaster:
Daily Monster is Stefan G. Bucher’s quest to draw one monster per day for 200 days.
Each monster starts out as an inkblot, and then Stefan adds to that blot until it starts to take on a character of its own. Then, users can submit a back-story for the monster, and Stefan picks some of [...]
The De Grisogono Meccanico DG is possibly the coolest watch I’ve ever seen.
Scratch that; The De Grisogono Meccanico DG is the coolest watch I’ve ever seen.
Why?
Because it’s “the first all mechanical watch with a digital display integrated into it”.
Let me repeat: An all mechanical watch with a digital display. No LEDs. No digital parts. Just [...]
