“A mystery artist, dubbed a ‘bottle Banksy’, has been delivering amazing artwork to the doorsteps of suburbia,” writes the UK-based Telegraph. Yep, apparently an unknown artist has been removing empty milk bottles from folks’ doorstep and then returning upgraded versions of them with elaborate pictures etched into the glass. We didn’t even know people still got milk delivered to their doorsteps, but if we had the chance to get etched bottles back, we’d be drinking milk ‘til the cows came home.   (via Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine Online)

Truly pithy chroniclers of the modern condition are few and far between. Osbert Lancaster was one such man. Waspish, moustachioed and superficially a paragon of the British architectural establishment, Lancaster was an illustrator with a sharp eye and even keener wit. Click here to see more of Osbert Lancaster’s work Cartoons & Coronets, an exhibition at The Wallace Collection in London as well as an illustrated biography of Lancaster’s work, demonstrates his aptitude for snappy social pigeonholing, able to name a sub-section of architectural style or new political affiliation with accuracy (it was Lancaster who coined the memorable term ‘Stockbroker Tudor’ to describe the ersatz medieval mansions that studded the Home Counties, pride and joy of the newly moneyed professional classes). As well as skewering the architectural profession and its pretensions, Lancaster evolved into a famed political cartoonist, a household name in the post-war years.

A series of new work by photographer and British Vogue Creative Director Robin Derrick, currently on show in London, offers a visually stunning take on a relatively mundane, albeit beautiful, subject – floral arrangements. Click here to see more of Robin Derrick’s photography Set against stark black backdrops, the meticulously composed portraits are a careful exercise in raw aesthetics and technical mastery, strikingly clear, hyper-real blow-ups that you almost want to touch. The post-production phase on each image took around 100 hours, and it shows. Up to 15 original transparencies were shot and then combined, in part, to elicit the sharpest elements for the final print. The exhibition, at The Old Train Depot, closes 8 October – well worth the rushed trip if you happen to be in town.
