The Deep MIKRO Sculpture
Earlier this year Sam Buxton created a new MIKRO sculpture named The Deep exclusively for the opening of the Wonder Room at Selfridges in London.
The Deep is now finally available to buy directly from MIKRO online!
Sam also exhibited a major new sculptural work at Kukje Gallery in Seoul in July, as part of a group show of British Artists.
The 4m long work depicts an intricate journey through a contemporary city environment of organisational systems, surveillance, machines and distractions that explores our relationship to a manufactured urban life.
You can find out more about MIKRO at MikroWorld.com

Calisthenics : Train without Weights
These guys, who call themselves the Bartendaz, use their own body weight instead of weights to train. Its a form of calisthenics and looks to be a creative way to exercise when weights and resistance machines aren’t an option. Pretty inspiring!

These posters (albeit on canvas and frame) make a refreshing change to the usual “action packed” movie poster design. They’re alot simpler appealing to the graphically include minimalist, and also state the brands integrated in the films.
Great to get a snapshot sense of the films “positioning”.
