Go Buy These: "The Night You Left" Mirrored Coasters by Nir Hod

“Inspired by his series of oil on mirror paintings entitled The Night You Left, Hod bottles the recurring themes of introspection and longing contemplated in this body of work into a functional object: a set of four mirrored coasters, lined with digitally printed white powder. Decadent and eye-catching, the coasters are backed with black velvet and are housed in a sleek black box.”

“The Night You Left masterfully captures a heightened and ephemeral emotional state; a moment of solitude and self-revelation. It is a meditation on love and love lost, on pain and catharsis. “There is a certain magic in loneliness,” Hod explains, “you have to be alone to create,” adding, “It’s not about drugs or glamour—it’s about the inside world, where you can dream and love and seek a greater truth—it’s about a feeling of being connected to something so human.”

The edition will be available for sale at PK Shop on September 13, 2012.

Doc Ellis & the LSD No No...

Former pitcher Doc Ellis played 11 seasons in the MLB in which he was an All-Star and was part of the 1971 Championship Pittsburgh Pirate team, but was best known for being a bit of a thug. He beaned Reggie Jackson in the face with a pitch during an All Star game, maced a security guard in Cincinnati during an argument and purposely tried to nail every player on the Reds for an entire game before being kicked out. But alas... his legacy remains due to one moment, pitching a no-hitter while on acid. This animation does a good job explaining the situation....
