Wire Coat Hanger Sculptures By David Mach
World renown artist David Mach has recently created stunning works of art by incorporating wire coat-hangers. Born in Scotland and now living in London, Mach is known for his use of everyday materials in his work. The Coathanger sculptures are huge forms covered in metal coat-hangers, both building up the volume of the figures and poking out of the forms as well. He is best known for his ‘heads’ created from matches and is interested in making something striking out of the mundane materials found in the everyday experience.

First Poster for "Texas Chainsaw 3D" Unveiled
Lionsgate has revealed the teaser poster, via Fangoria, for Texas Chainsaw 3D
(looks like the "the" and "massacre" were chopped from the title). The
film is still on track for a January 4th release and we're told a
trailer is not too far off from being released either. “‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’continues the legendary story of the
homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror
classic left off in Newt, Texas, where for decades people went missing
without a trace. The townspeople long suspected the Sawyer family,
owners of a local barbeque pit, were somehow responsible. Their
suspicions were finally confirmed one hot summer day when a young woman
escaped the Sawyer house following the brutal murders of her four
friends. Word around the small town quickly spread, and a vigilante mob
of enraged locals surrounded the Sawyer stronghold, burning it to the
ground and killing every last member of the family – or so they thought. Decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a
young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate
from a grandmother she never knew she had. After embarking on a road
trip with friends to uncover her roots, she finds she is the sole owner
of a lavish, isolated Victorian mansion. But her newfound wealth comes
at a price as she stumbles upon a horror that awaits her in the
mansion’s dark cellars…"

Happy 69th Birthday, Robert Crumb!
R. Crumb, who took cartoons underground and then nudged underground closer to the surface, turns 69 years old today. While
he has worked entirely outside of the mainstream of the comic book
industry, his best known works - such as the hedonistic "Fritz the Cat"
and the "Keep on Truckin'" images that became hippie icons - have
certainly entered the pop culture. His "Mr. Natural" character became a
familiar figure, spouting philosophical aphorisms while almost tripping
over his beard. Crumb drew many album covers, including a famous one for Big Brother & the Holding Company's "Cheap Thrills." Fittingly, he was the subject of an underground 1994 documentary that went mainstream.

R36 Nissan GT-R Approved For 2018 Launch
Recently it was reported the future of the next-generation Nissan GT-R was in doubt.
But the latest news point suggests a successor to the current model is
still planned for production and might be launched in 2018. Only two months ago it was suggested Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn has not
given his support to design and engineer a new GT-R due to a lack of
profitability. Combined with the retirement of Kazutoshi Mizuno ‒ the
genius behind the GT-R ‒ there wasn’t cause for optimism. But Inside Line recently visited Nissan’s R&D center in Atsugi, Japan, and was told development is well underway. Initially it was planned that the second generation GT-R would arrive
in 2015, but was delayed due to Kazutoshi Mizuno’s absence. The chief
engineer for the Nissan GT-R suffered from health issues, but has
recently returned to head up the development team. He was also involved
in Nissan’s recent class victory at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, which served as proving ground for future GT-R’s. The development of the upcoming Honda or Acura NSX
is followed with great interest by Nissan’s GT-R team. It is rumored
Honda’s hybrid-powered supercar rounds the Nürburgring faster than the
Nissan. Apparently the upcoming and also hybrid powered Porsche 918 Spyder was of less interest to the Japanese ‒ Mizuno didn’t seem very impressed when asked about the upcoming German supercar. Because the launch of the new GT-R (R36) is still six years from now,
the current model will be overhauled by the end of next year. The
upgrade will feature a redesigned bumper and lights, as well as an
upgraded powertrain. The upgrade will mark the GT-R’s sixth year of
production.(gtspirit)

2013 Zeus Twelve Gold Rush
An acclaimed Swedish design studio with a focus on creating luxurious
uniqueness through beauty and visual extravagance, Gray Design, which
has earlier amazed us with its super-yacht Sovereign, Dartz Prombron’ Nagel,
and conceptualized luxury vehicles for the ultra-wealthy, has now
announced the launch of its new automotive division. Dubbed as Zeus
Twelve, it’s a fresh new brand that doesn’t bear the burden of
supporting years of antiquated values which allows it the flexibility
and space to create exciting new models. And, in an effort to present
exciting yet timeless creations in limited volume that will come to be
viewed as masterpieces with the passage of time, Zeus Twelve has
released three built-to-order supercar designs for exclusive automotive
collectors. And, for these exclusively designed supercars named Gold
Rush, Magnate and Sigma; luxury is the new speed. Specific details surrounding the Gold Rush have yet to be revealed, but
true to Gray Design’s penchant for panache, the Zeus Twelve Gold Rush
looks the part of an aggressively-designed sports coupe
with gold accents, gullwing doors, and a 5.935-liter V12 engine that
produces 510 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and a top speed of 188 mph.
AquaClimb Poolside Climbing Wall

with a Lexan climbing surface, the AquaClimb is available in a handful
of different heights perfect for any pool size. There are several
different climbing routes varying in difficulty levels, each of which is
indicated by one of four different colors. The best part is whether you
get to the top or fall off prematurely, you still get to land in a
refreshing pool of water.

Honda KT600 Bike By Classified Moto
Made from a mix of parts from different bikes, the Honda KT600 by
Classified Moto is a wonder vehicle. The bike was commissioned by
Battlestar Galactica actress Katee Sackhoff, who gave master craftsman
John Ryland and his team 100% creative freedom in creating one of the
most superb bikes yet. Parts used to make this vehicle include the front
end of a Kawasaki ZX6-R, the back end of a 2006 Triumph Sprint, as well
as the addition of an aluminum lower mount for the shock. The starting
point for the vehicle was a custom 1987 Honda XL600R, and having it
transformed into the Honda KT600 is truly incredible.

self-evident attention to detail.

2015 Audi Quattro Coupe
Volkswagen-owned Audi is preparing to launch a heir to the race-winning Quattro of the early 1980s, a report out of Germany indicates. Price-wise the car will fill the crevasse between the
TT and the R8 but aesthetically it will lie somewhere between the A5 and
the Q5. Loosely inspired by the Quattro Concept
that bowed at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the upcoming coupe will have
short overhangs, a completely flat roof and several hood-mounted air
vents reminiscent of the original Quattro coupe’s vents. An anonymous source told Germany’s Auto Bild
that the car will be powered by a supercharged five-cylinder engine
that will propel it from zero to 62 mph in a little over four seconds.
Audi will equip the coupe with a dual-clutch S-Tronic gearbox that will quite evidently send power to all four wheels. If the rumor is true, the Quattro is in the early stages of development and it is dubbed Q35 internally. Auto Bild speculates that the 35 means the car’s launch will coincide with the original Quattro’s 35th birthday in 2015. Introduced in 1980, the original Quattro was developed to compete in
the Group B category of rally racing. It was the first Group B car to
feature all-wheel drive, a setup that was not allowed prior to 1979.
The innovative system enabled Audi to capture first place overall in
1982 and 1984. (leftlanenews)

1971 Flat Cat Stealth Black Jaguar XK-E
Sporting the same blacked out color scheme as the recently featured Camaro Street Fighter, don’t let the beauty of this 1971 Matte Black Jaguar XK-E fool you as this vehicle is most definitely a beast. Ditching the standard V12 from the 1971 E-Type, Ken “Posies” Fenical
threw a more favorable small block Chevy V8 in this car, a ZZ383 crate
engine by GM Performance parts to be exact. The vehicle was built for
autocross, and competes regularly putting down 311 horsepower and 370
lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a Tremec five speed gearbox.
The vehicle was given the nickname ‘Flat Cat’ due to the DP50 flat black
epoxy PPG paint job. The 18 inch gloss black Dayton wire wheels provide
the perfect finishing touch.
The Cult Debut "Honey From A Knife" Video
"Honey From A Knife", the new video from The Cult, can be seen below.
Directed by Rick Rodgers and produced by The Cult's Ian Astbury and New York City-based film company Mechanizedmules,
the clip was shot on location in the Washington Heights neighborhood
of Manhattan on a RED Scarlet camera with Super Speed lenses provided
by ARRI. "Honey From A Knife", rooted in the seductiveness of addiction, was inspired by the following Buddhist precept, and Astbury states that the accompanying film reveals a "desperate descent into a fractured psyche": "Wealth
and beauty, to a man who will not relinquish them, are like a knife
covered with honey which, even before he has had the pleasure of eating
the honey, cuts the tongue of the child that licks it."
