LEGO Bird Sculptures by Thomas Poulsom
Thomas Poulsom is a Bristol-based avid LEGO builder with an affinity for birds. His penchant for the soaring, feathered creatures has merged with his enthusiasm for the toy building blocks to produce a series of 6 popular birds found in Britain constructed entirely out of LEGO pieces.
The detailed “birds” were made with close attention to shape, color, and size. Poulsom now has the opportunity to turn his creations into official LEGO products, if he gains enough supporters for the project through the brand’s website. The designer is also currently open to suggestions for future bird creations, in addition to his main six.

FRANCIS BOWIE (Live @ MATT 18)
No later than a few weeks ago we dropped by MATT 18, a gallery located in Vesterbro, Matthæusgade to be precise. There was a small delightful event going on there, featuring the vernissage of an exhibit based on contemporary art and steel sculptures. In program also the live act of Francis Bowie, acoustically performing some tracks from his latest EP.
”Francis Bowie is both a writer, singer, songwriter, painter, sculptor, designer and gallery owner. He proclaims himself as the founder of the new music genre called Intelligent Pop Music or IPM which is an attempt to put some quality, dignity and honor into pop music.”
We were there and this is a little mash-up video from the day featuring the live performance of him and some highlights from the exhibition:
”Bowie’s EP is perfect example that one does not need to sell their soul to make music that is incredibly catchy and impactful. He achieves exactly what he seeks, and hopefully is able to continue his work in improving what the genre of pop is all about. With a strong new wave influence coupled with modern day electronica, Francis shows some strong pop sensibility.”

Creative Future Issue #03 – Line Up
Great news from the CREATIVE FUTURE headquarter, the line-up for the upcoming issue has been released and it’s wicked as always.
”After serval months of hard work and numerous late nights in the studio, we’re finally ready to announce the official line-up of artists which will be featured in our upcoming issue, Creative Future Issue #03. With a willingness to learn, the Creative Project is constantly developing and evolving. We have certainly come a long way since we released our first issue in the fall last year. With an eye for detail and quality, we’ve tried to take this issue to new artistic dimensions – not only by exploring new and unknown paths within the arts, but also by attacking the content, quality and look with new creative approaches. With less than a month to the actual release”
Get ready to welcome an issue featuring:
New York-based artist and creator of the semi-biographical character Darcel Disappoints, Craig Redman, is this issue’s official cover artist and main-feature.
Pow Wow is a globally known street art/graffiti event, founded by artist and gallery owner Jasper Wong. Striving to engage with the broader community in the process and creation of art, Pow Wow gathers some of todays most talented and creative contemporary artists every year with the goal of turning an entire neighborhood into a contemporary piece of art.
New York-based photographer, Andre D. Wagner, is certainly an artist of contrasts who has already created an impressive portfolio of incredible photo-stories and creative journals, documenting the life and style of our generation’s future visionaries and creative thinkers.
Having worked professionally in art over the past decade by creating unique sculptures of old broken skate decks, Haroshi is today a globally recognized artist, known for his very controversial and characteristic signature style.
Kelsey Brookes is a scientist by training and artist by vocation. Using common motifs as animals, naked bodies, spiritual beings, and geometric patterns, Kelsey Brookes combines new and different elements in his paradoxical flowing paintings, which all leaves his audience behind wondering what the hell is going on.
Following tradition Creative Future Mag will produce a limited series of editions featuring a surprise from the artist that has been selected to be the main feature, the exact release day has not been announced yet but it will be approximately within a month.

Introducing FEJ Clothes
T-shirts never grow old, that’s what the trio behind FEJ Clothes must have thought when they started this colorful adventure. FEJ in an independent clothing brand focused on the screen-printing process of lovely t-shirts, every part of the process is homemade.
FEJ Clothes is run by Frida Lilja, Elin Lilja and Josefine Carlsson from just across the bridge in Malmö, Sweden. The designs of the tees are provided by this trio and some random guest collaborators that always bring good and fresh ideas into the making process. The project itself has older roots starting in Berlin in the summer or 2008 when they decided to mix their passion for graphic design and clothes in a playful and colorful manner. Future projects for FEJ include planned pop-up stores between Malmö and Copenhagen, so keep your eyes and ears open.
If you can’t wait the shirts are available also through the ArtRebels network and the Berlin located web-store Monoqi. Here’s some pictures from their latest lookbook to keep you happy, take a look to some inspiring prints and meet the team behind the FEJ project.
