No piece of art can get me wet like a good collage. These works by Albert Cano and Michelle Rafferty for the brand oki-ni really excite me.

As fantastical as I think this song is, can someone please confirm the season for me? The trees are saying Autumn, the bikini bitches are saying Summer, Eminem is saying Winter and the bicycle is saying Spring (you see what I did there?). This just reminds me of how annoyed I get at people who wear beanies to the beach.
This is the lead single off Skylar's upcoming debut album "Don't Look Down" due out early next year!

I've been getting really annoyed with it lately. More often than usual, I've considered getting a full chop. And then I watched this video of Travis Cannata cutting his hair and it turned me right off the idea. He looks so much better with his curls!
At the very least, my hair definately needs some trimmage.

And her name is Matthew McConaughey. It appears the star of Magic Mike has cast a disappearing spell for his role in the upcoming film "Dallas Buyers Club." I didn't think I'd be so upset about this day but without his bod, he's nothing more than an irritating noise.
Not to worry - he does plan on gaining it all back after filming. Phew!
Is this a music video or an advertisement for all of Will.i.ams new products? Jesus.
I can't believe Britney bitch isn't dancing! She redeems herself with her hotness though. There are actually moments where I'm in disbelief that this is the same X Factor judge who's constantly pulling screwed up catching-a-whiff-of-something-funky facials.

I love simple imagery like this. Makes me want to run at a wall, and do a back flip off it. I've always wanted to be able to do that.
The lighting and shadows in some of them is so realistic that it steers me away from thinking they've been put together solely in photoshop. Maybe they took two photos - one with no model and then another with the model resting on a platform and then put the two together, and obviously removed the platform. Whatever they did, they look great.

Two Summers ago I made the transition from board shorts to trunks. And I've never gone back.
Today I'm off to Parnell Baths and when I was packing I realised, shit, I need to get some new ones for this year. I think I'm feeling this belted ones. How San Fran are they?! Rocked with the mo, they could be so 80s stud.

I love the exaggerated, cartoon bully shape of Thom Brownes FW12 pieces but I think wearing clothes this big would scare me. It's like when I see a bump in my bed.. it couldn't possibly be a pillow under the duvet, it has to be a serial killer or some other creepy Grudge like creature coming to get me.
A yes for the tartan and a hell yeah for the puppy print blazer!

My smile appears a little fake, but trust me, I am over the moon about the year being over. It's just taking a while to sink in. What am I going to do with all this free time on my hands? Drink, tan and make some art without a due date!
These pictures are from my exhibition which took place on Friday 16th November. Thanks to my beautiful family and friends who attended and supported me! It was so nice to see strangers liking, loving and even tilting their heads at my work. Good or bad, every response was interesting - especially some of the stories about the meaning behind the showers and ladders painting.

Another successful clip by the Royal Family, but I reckon it's the camera man who deserves the biggest pat on the back! It's a hard enough task just seeing in the dark as you run around a laser strike building without also having to film a continuous four minute dance video.
My favourite part is at 2:40 when the girl is bitten and dragged away. It's like horror movie cheese but so effective. Gaga-esque Paul is another highlight.

At any moment, Nigeria's parliament could pass one of the harshest anti-gay laws the world has ever seen. What's the big deal? If you are gay – or even support someone who is – this new law could send you to jail for up to 10 years. And, if you get married – it's 14!

Sorry to sound so excited about that. He releases new music all the time but these are some mega jams! I was going to add a naked picture of Pitbull into the mix but they're hard to find, and probably for good reason.
Tonight: "Have Some Fun" featuring Afrojack and The Wanted. Has that typical The Wanted sound.
Tomorrow night: "Last Night" featuring Afrojack and Havana Brown.

| Jason Richards, 2012. "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon". |
This is a work I created using hundreds of Photoshop layers. I think I underestimated just how many it would take when I began. It references one of Picasso's revolutionary works (Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, 1907), which shocked and angered society at the time. The confrontational depiction of five prostitutes, their tribal masks and the cubist painting approach were all part of the debate. It was also inspired by the awesome images I've seen at HMN ALNS.
I wanted to assemble a bunch of superhumans, mutants, whatever you want to call them and display them in a similar unnerving way.

This is the image I started with.

All comparisons to Rihanna were temporarily shoved under the rug when Rita Ora opened the MTV European Music Awards in Frankfurt. Singing her
Regardless, it's much too soon to be rocking the red lace. She might as well have come out in an egg, covered in meat offcuts. The worst part is - and I dare not put them on here - she completed the look with a pair of Jordans.

If ever there was a time to get away with vocalising the creepy thoughts going through my head about Becks, I figured now would be the perfect time as I stare at this new fragrance ad of his. Hot damn - I just want to smell you! Super slick, so dashing.
The bottle reminds me of the steamy bathroom of the hotel room you've booked for just the night... if only the showering Becks came with it too. At least we have the new set of H&M ads. Merry Christmas!

Last day was spent finishing up my giant expressive painting then enjoying a few beverages at the sunny rose gardens. All the hard work is done. Now it's time for exhibition week!
