The work the artist known as Roa has done in the streets of London has amazed us. And as sharing amazement is one of our hobbies, here it is.

land art

The Balde has given many of its pages to the concept of combining art and nature. As well as being spectacular, the link that this type of art creates with nature and the idea of nature seems interesting and modern to us. We'll be able to see the work of artists who move in this area at an exhibition at Koldo Mitxelena. But no, it won't wash if you tell the police that your marihuana plantation is land art.

el estafador

El Estafador's website proves that the world of comics can be adapted to new technology in an appropriate, natural way. Each number is about a particular subject and the authors draw their comics and strips about it. As we're subscribers (it's free), we're looking forward to the next number of El Estafador.

makala tour

Our most important DJ has announced that he's going to be on tour over the next few months. And it's not going to be easy to follow his steps as he's going to be travelling hundreds of kilometres before the summer. It's just as well. Once the weather gets better and the sea water warms up, he'll be swapping his turntables for a surfboard. Makala's tour's going to be a good one.

botanic postcards

We mentioned land art and received this shortly after. A beautiful botanical postcard made by A studio. Water it a little and, a couple of days later, you'll have a mini-garden on your table. Marvelous!

pythagoras' chocolate

The chocolate maker Enric Rovira, helped by the mathematician Enrique Zuazua, has created Pythagoras' chocolate in Santos Bregaña’s Laia studio. What's special about this chocolate? A block made of pieces of the same weight but different shapes.

Debolex productions has brought out a fine series of short documentaries during the last few months. They're brought together many people and projects from our surroundings in these short pieces: Orain. Thanks to the rhythm of the reporting and narration, you're glued to the screen.

pneumatic-art

The Korean artist Ji Yong Ho uses car and motorbike wheels to make spectacular sculptures. According to the artist, “This material helps me to capture the animals' spirit, because their muscles and skin are highly elastic¨. We quite agree, Mr. Ho!
