MPFree: Hello Skinny - Smash + Grab Mixtape

Been enjoying this mixtape from Hello Skinny (via Audio Overdrive). Here's the er, Hello Skinny skinny:

Hello Skinny is the brainchild of drummer Tom Skinner, who's other current involvements include Sons Of Kemet, Mulatu Astatke, Matthew Herbert, Finn Peters and The Owiny Sigoma Band amongst many others.

The project is Skinner's first as bandleader, composer and producer [playing most of the instruments] and sees him exploring areas around and between psych-dub, electronics, downtown jazz and folk stylings.

The Smash + Grab Mix Tape features contributions from Shabaka Hutchings, Trudie Dawn Smith and Rowdy Superstar.

Sketch! A Visual Tour of Silver Lake and Los Feliz

Great short portrait of sketch artist Stéphane Kardos from Kauri Multimedia (via @forksandtorches)

"Sketching has a sense of urgency that I love, the energy, the life that can come out of a sketch amazes me. It’s about spontaneity, enthusiasm, confidence. It’s giving the feeling of a place, the illusion that every element is here."

Re-Enter Sandman

Neil Gaiman (aka @neilhimself) sent this over to Comic Con to announce the return of Sandman later in the year. Really enjoyed reading (and re-reading) the series the first time around (can't believe it's the 25th anniversary though...). Here's the first new Sandman art from JH Williams III (who did a great job on Alan Moore's trippy Promethea series)
