A Queer Collage 

First brought to our attention by London-based graphic designer and illustrator, Joanna Zawazdzka, the collages of Deger Bakir made an indelible impression. His twists on scale and form are remarkable and arresting, warped and beautiful. Arms reach out of cityscapes, withered legs traipse along carpet-like wallpaper, celebrities of yore kiss against artificial backdrops. Deger’s work feels almost as though surrealist Salvador Dali and cubist Pablo Picasso got together with some old magazines and scissors and went to work on a collaboration, the kind of arts and crafts project dreams are made of.

Mission Impossible

By Sade Lythcott

The Impossible Project (previously credited as changing the plight of Polaroid) has announced their latest venture: Instant Lab.

Designed to seamlessly connect analog and digital worlds, Instant Lab transforms your digital images into the real deal, with the convenience and immediacy of a Polaroid camera. The Lab features an iPhone cradle and a specialized lens that focuses the phone’s Retina display. The base then exposes the film and, just like a Polaroid camera, produces the photo.

The Impossible crew set out to make this dream a reality by starting a Kickstarter campaign to raise $250,000. During their month-long quest for cash, they actually raised more than twice their goal. Thanks to a group of loyal fans and generous donors, everyone will get to benefit from Instant Lab when it hits the market in early 2013.
