Introducing the Hitler-as-a-bear-skin-rug rug… Creepy, macabre and not entirely original this new piece by equally creepy and macabre artist Richard Stipl is on display in Prague until January as part of the Decadence Now! Visions of Excess art exhibition. Urgh…

Everything you see in this advert for Silestone (counter tops) is unreal – it’s entirely CGI and totally mind blowing. We’ve seen a lot of big advances in digital video this past year but honestly this is simply stunning. Production took Alex and Juan of The Mushroom Company 2 and a half months from concept [...]
