☼ César Manrique was an artist, sculptor, architect and environmentalist from Lanzarote. Between the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s, he designed a number of spectacular buildings and resorts. See some of them in this wonderful series by Hamburg-based photographer, David Alrath.




☼ Props to whoever purchased this excellent painting of “Gaugin’s Girl” for a mere £25 on Thursday.
☼ I was sad to discover that this 1960s pop-up bar was just a render (until I found the real one it was based upon).

☼ This new camera from Instax is the lovechild of a Polaroid, a digital camera and a digital photo printer. (Instax fam please do send me one. Very open to camera-related bribes & solicitation)
☼ Need some plans for Valentine's Day? Nothing says romantic opulence like the all-pink Jackie Gaughan suite at the El Cortez Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, complete with gold swan faucets over a blush marble tub. Here’s a full video tour.
