Henry Laufer is a fresh faced lanky 19 year old from LA. He's producing some amazing lo-fi dubsteppy, trip hoppy, 8-bitty, music. I'm kinda obsessed.

POLAROID!

This year, Urban Outfitters proudly presents a limited edition of 700 hand-numbered deadstock Polaroid camera kits. This exclusive Urban Outfitters special edition will include one pack of deadstock Polaroid Instant Film and one of the most sought after analog instant cameras: the Polaroid One600 classic, the last Polaroid camera ever produced.

Along with the kits, Urban Outfitters will offer additional deadstock original Polaroid Type 779 Instant Film saved from the last production runs made at the last Polaroid factory in Enschede, Netherlands. The film has been hand-selected, tested, and stored at low temperatures exclusively for Urban Outfitters.

In conjunction with the release of the special edition Polaroid film and camera kits, Gallery space at space 15 Twenty in Los Angeles is hosting a month-long group show of Polaroid photography. The original Polaroid instant photographs on view in Everything is Possible will reflect the unlimited possibilities of working with this unique format.

Portfolio Night 7

Y&R Toronto have announced they'll be hosting this year's Portfolio Night 7 in the T Dot, woot! Designers, get them portfolios all shiny! The fun kicks off on June 11th, 2009. For those of you who've never heard of Portfolio Night, it's the brainchild of our friends over at ihaveanidea; an evening where aspiring Art Directors or Copywriters [i.e. students] are given the opportunity to show their portfolios to 3 different Creative Directors. Each student spends roughly 20 minutes with each of their 3 CD's. This is a great opportunity to get some feedback on your work, and for potential recruiters to see what's out there, so please try to check it out.

Not in Toronto? Don't worry. Portfolio Night is happening all over the world. For more information, click here.

Oscars, We Salute Thee

Ah, the Oscars. From Tina Fey falling in love with Steve Martin to Sean Penn shaming anti-gay protesters during his acceptance speech and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button [thankfully] not winning much, the 81st Academy Awards was a show not to be missed. The Oscars are back, baby, recession or not. Top marks go to host Hugh Jackman for his dancing skills while performing "The Reader", Gus Van Sant's sneaker + suit combo, and of course, Ben Stiller's hilarious take on Joaquin Phoenix:




We've even picked out next year's outfit for Goldie Hawn:


We still love you, GH.
Good show, Academy.
