Once upon a time, there was a man named James Lillis, and he was poor – until he started making some of the sexiest leggings known to the world of fashion. Lillis is the brain and hands behind Black Milk Clothing. He makes leggings, dresses, swimsuits, bodysuits and skirts out of exclusively nylon fabrics. But this is no tacky-disco 80s trash. Black Milk Clothing is like works of art you can wear. A lot of pieces are very limited release, so super-fans know to check religiously for the best new styles and patterns. I’m particularly into the galaxy leggings and skeleton/skull wear. This stuff isn’t cheap. The leggings start...

Kathryn Carr’s Fantastical Magical Paper Wor...

Sometimes in art, the simplest methods create the most striking images, and although “simple” is not the first word that comes to mind when viewing Kathryn Carr‘s paper cuttings, her basic methods leave us with images we can’t get out of our heads. Since 2008, Carr has been turning black sheets of paper into fantasy-scapes straight from the story book in her mind. Inspired by the German paper cutting artist Scherenschnitte, her work embodies the playful mystery of old fairy tales and far away imaginary lands. And she’s totally self-taught. “I turned my attention to this art form because I was drawn to the...

Soft, warm colors are out this year. What you need to kick-off 2012 on the right foot is a pair of bright red pants. When I say red, I am not talking about a faded red, or a burnt orange-ish red, I am talking about Big Apple Red. Bold. Strong. Vibrant red. I know you might feel like you are...
Wet Paint Presents: Coyote Kisses

I’d like to introduce you guys to some superstars of Soundcloud, Coyote Kisses. This Florida-based duo is already a rising force in the scene, and guess what? We’re hosting them live in Gainesville this Friday. Coyote Kisses is the brainchild of two longtime childhood friends, Bryce Bresnan and Joseph Sussingham, both hailing from Lakeland, Florida. Their production style allows for some epic remixes of masterpieces such as the Star Wars Binary Sunset Theme. Also really feeling the tunes Concious Pilot and Starchaser.
