Ryan Woodward’s ‘Bottom Of The Ninth’ is probably the worlds first animated graphic novel – probably. The project will be launched exclusively for the iPad & iPhone with a HTC version to follow suit. By animating key panels in the book, the serialized comic comes to life and blurs the line between still & moving image.

The first app, Prologue, will set up the characters and the world of Tao City. Candy Cunningham is an 18 year old girl, born with a phenomenal athletic ability, and a hot head! Her father, Gordy Cunningham is an aged major league player who’s athletic abilities have diminished over the years, but his ability to put on a good clown show always draws a crowd and ticket sales. Throughout the story, Candy faces some serious identity issues. The fame and glory of being a Tao City hero conflict with the true meaning of happiness taught to her by her father.

Can’t wait till it launches in May? No problem, check out the preview video below and for more info visit bottom-of-the-ninth.com

Part biography, part photo journal, world renowned DJ Diplo has just dropped his debut book ’128 beats per minute’. The book is a collaboration with photographer Shane McCauley and documents the superstar DJ’s adventures around the world, from Tel Aviv, Jamaica and beyond.

The book is a comprehensive guide to the world of Diplo. With two introductions, one from Diplo himself outlining how he got his start in Philadelphia and the evolution of Mad Decent – and a full foreword by fashion designer Alexander Wang giving Diplo a glowing introduction.

The book is split in sections, each division represents a country and contains photos from the country along side personal accounts of his time their – giving both a deep look into Diplo’s world as well as the sexy, dark & clouded nightlife industry in which he inhabits. One of the most interesting parts of the book is the playlists that accompany each section, documenting the tracks that shaped his sets in whichever country his tours took him to. The 10 track playlists have a greater relevance outside of Diplo’s world, they provide an in-depth look at what tracks have dominated the clubs over the last 10 years.

Millions of air-miles, thirty two countries and seven years later, this is what Diplo has been up to & this is what shaped the musical landscape.

A few days ago we posted about a video from Squirrel Monkey in which the creators concocted a retro 80′s version of twitter. Well this time, its Alfred Hitchcock who’s in line for an 8 bit make over.

Artist Joe Spiotto has created his vision of what the boxes of Hitchcock films would resemble if they had been ported over to the Nintendo Entertainment System – for a cheeky shameless cash in. Speaking on the project Spiotto explains:

In the 80′s Nintendo was a dominant force to be reckoned with. Had Hitchcock been just a few years behind I’m almost certain that Nintendo would have jumped on the chance to make video-game adaptations of some of his most iconic films. I’m almost certain that their game boxes would have looked a little something like this

Manchester based Lee Jeffries had a chance meeting with a young homeless girl in the streets of London in 2008 it changed his artistic approach forever. Lee Jeffries recalls that, initially, he had take a distant photo a young homeless girl huddled in a sleeping bag. Jeffries say the girl and spotted him and although his first reaction was to run something made him stay and chat with the girl. His perception about the homeless completely changed. They become the subject of his art.

All the models in his photographs are homeless people that he has met in Europe & the United States: Situations arose, and he makes an effort to learn to get to know each of the subjects before asking their permission to do their portrait.

This week The Fix debuted 4 recently unearthed paintings & 1 drawing by the late Kurt Cobain. Fix founder Maer Roshan discoverd the trove while reporting for ‘Courtney Comes Clean’, the first e-book in the Quick Fix series.

“Painted in 1993, during the recording of Nirvana’s last studio album, In Utero, they illustrate the young genius’s fascination with decay, conception, nourishment, and waste. We’ve seen the figures in these paintings before: An image of a birthing sea horse was the cover to an early single; a figure resembling a puppet’s skeleton was the cover for Incesticide, a B-side collection released after 1991′s Nevermind, with liner notes by Cobain detailing a search through the London back alleys for one such doll. The same figure in another painting has flared green wings closely resembles In Utero’s front cover”

Painted at the height of Kurts addiction, the disturbing and morbid images give a deeper insight into the tortured genius that was taken from us 18 years ago. You can check out the images below and find out more at The Fix.

Interview: Alie Cuomo – Photos: Yougo Jeberg – Edited By: Martyn Cooling

Capturing youth at its best and its worst, Yougo Jeberg is still young in the photography game, with only 3 years under his belt. Re-blogged thousand of times on Tumblr and intriguing the fashion world, his spontaneous style remains sincere, yet fearless. Next month, Yougo is going to expand his work by finally circulating his much anticipated first short-movie, “Crusin’ is the answer”. The movie, an ode to teenage abandon, made of friends moments, happy and sad, glorious and disappointingly fleeting moments, is going to be presented in Paris on the 19th of April at the launch party for the webzine YOUNGWILDFREE.

Alie Cuomo recently sat down for a chat with Yougo, to find out more about his recent rise to prominence.

How long have you been taking photographs for now?

3 years.

Do you always look for particular moments in people’s life or do you also stage them?

I do a lot of photos in the moment, to keep the truth of the situation. You can’t reveal all the daily moments of the youth without capturing the instant. Sometimes I stage photos but it’s more for my fashion qork, if I have to choose I prefer to keep the fleeting moments.

People let you take all these intimate pictures without any worries?

I think a lot of people know my photos because they are on the internet, they know what to expect, they know my way of living and how I deal with intimacy. They are already my friends because they know me without knowing me, so it’s easier to take photos of them. It’s why I love my work!

Do you think of the nudity in your pictures as being erotic?

Ahaha no. There is no sexuality in my photos, the nude on my photos is rough ! I prefer to take pictures of the imperfections of the body, I try to show the prettiness in the ugliness.

You have also made a series of pictures with models (Taylor Warren, Bradley Soileau, Marcel Castenmiller,…). Usually your models are your friends. Did working with professional models change your artistic process?

The professional models I chose are close to my age, so we are in the same state of mind. But during the shooting it’s not too professional, we talk about cool things. At the end of the shooting we are always wondering when will be the next time we will meet.

From all the people you shot, with whom was the experience most interesting?

I don’t know, every time it’s a new experience.

A lot of your images are overexposed and there are often light leaks, sun flares, shifting colors, and double exposures.

Working with analog cameras is a privilege, you don’t need to retouch the digital image to transform it as an analog one. At first those kind of lightleaks were mistakes, then I tried to find out how I made it. I experiment a lot with analog cameras, it’s a game of tricks that never ends. I like those mistakes because the image looks rough and it’s interesting to stare at the image for a longtime, there’s a magic inside, sometimes some drawings appears within the lightleaks, it’s creepy ! I think I’m some kind of wizard !

What are you working on currently?

I’m finishing my short film “Cruisin’ is the answer” that will be screened next month in Paris.

The film shows a happy generation of youth, radiating a living feeling of energy and optimism. Does the camera present a reality only wished for? How does the principle of cruisin work for you?

The film shows an actual reality, everytime time I can I film what we do with my friends. It’s a film about my friends but I’m also behind the camera, I do the same things as them, we are all in the moment. It’s a story about friends having fun, having fun is a therapy to hunt our devils, it’s a typical case. Cruisin’ means traveling, escaping reality.

Your first exhibition is coming up soon. What can we expect?

You can expect to see exclusive photos and videos – I’m really looking forward to see what people will think about my work.

What is one thing that you most want to accomplish in this industry?

More fashion campaigns and music videos.

Best piece of photography advice?

Think quickly and push the button.
