SPACE ODDITY
A day like any other, you’re browsing through the explore section of Instagram and see dozens of various images at a time, photography, design, art, you name it, and your algorithm names it. Suddenly you see this strange looking human, you’re thinking ‘aaaah, Burning Man, gotta get the tickets this time’, but no! Wait a minute. Fortunately, by complete chance, you notice the caption!
It says:
“A Fortune-Matador poses for a photo right before entering the stadium to compete in this year’s Lox Fight.”

Now, let us play a bit of a Morpheus here… “You take the blue pill… the story ends (…) You take the red pill… you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” Fancy going down the rabbit hole?
Crandall Solarian, a wombat wanderer, sharing the burrow with the bravest of the bunch has “traveled” to a very distant dimension and it’s a weird one. Check a snippet of the incredible work of Crandall below, but make sure you go along for the ride with that guy. A true wayfarer.

The deeper we go the weirder it gets, Elmo Mistiaen, an artist working at the intersection of weirdness (as he puts it) and biomorphic outdoor fashion and biomorphic jewelry @miosis.design. Gotta love it!
