Wet Magazine (1976-1981) was a Santa Monica based publication with a distinct graphic style and typically strange features from LA (e.g: dribble, places, non-human life forms…)

To celebrate its 150 years, the Royal College of Art extends this year’s show to Kensington Gardens for an overwhelming display of creative ideas and items. The Great Exhibition 2007 - 15 to 28 June, RCA, Kensington Gore, London Sw7 2EU.

Visual make-over of the Nouvelle Star logo (Nouvelle Star is the French version of Pop Idol) to match controversed cutting-edge winner Julien Doré, who happens to be related to XIXth century French illustrator Gustave Doré. Everyone is going nuts over the new idol in France. Americans are outraged by his victory. His style is an odd mix of vintage rock, disco, cha-cha-cha and humour all capturing the attention of both mass media and underground artsy types.   Links: Dig Up Elvis -  Jean d’Ormesson Disco Suicide -  Nouvelle Star
