Music: Random Recipe

Posted by French Blast on 7/24/2009 06:01:00 PM 0 comments
Music is not really well represented on this blog. We preferred more visual stuffs but we are not unsensitive to music and we just discovered Random Recipe. And when we have seen their inspirations on their my space we understood why we liked their music. Names which came first were Gotan Project, Portishead, CocoRosie... They have also lots of references we are fan of!


Thanks MMB

Photo: Technomades exhibition by Christophe Beauregard

Posted by French Blast on 7/16/2009 04:49:00 PM 1 comments
Christophe Beauregard is a french photographer. I like his set of photos called Technomade, exhibited at Alcatel-Lucent Fundation. Christophe made portrait of people who are taken without their favorite electronic devices. I like the interpretation how cell phone or laptops are just an extension of our body or our brain.

Street art book made by a french two headed unit, Kanardo

Posted by French Blast on 7/14/2009 06:50:00 PM 0 comments
I just discovered Kanardo, which is a small agency based in south of France at Guethary. This area is very well known for its surfing culture. By the way, these two guys are very inspired by the street and surf culture. I like their work which is very diversified, they are both photographers and illustrators but you'll find on their blog, myspace or official website all their inspirations from music to graffitis.

You should also look at their book on street artists:

SG doesn't stand only for Singapore

Posted by French Blast on 7/06/2009 04:14:00 PM 0 comments

You may have already heard about SuicideGirls or SG. I digged about this community of women ( and also men) a little bit deeper and I found a very interesting project but also a profitable company. According to wikipedia: "SuicideGirls is a website that features softcore pin-up-style photos and text profiles of goth, punk and indie-styled young women (although styles reminiscent of the 1940s and '50s pin-up models are also incorporated) who themselves are known as the Suicide Girls". I understood that the aim of this community was to represent the image of woman in alternative ways that people are used to. And I found this photoset called fight club made by Missy, which is a kind of tribute to the legendary movie. You'll be able to see better what they mean by saying SuicideGirls is a community that celebrates alternative beauty and alternative culture from all over the world.

Extract of 60 other tatooed, sweaty and beautiful women pictures:

The fight club photoset featured some nude photos. So if you are under 18, don't click on links of this article.
