Australia's often forgotten, being so far away from everything else. However, I've seen a pretty decent portion of art, culture and design news flowing out from our borders over the past few years. Just came across this 15-year-old girl who did an amazing rendition of David Bowie's song 'Space Oddity' on The Voice. In other news – check out this incredible Australian artist Joshua Smith, . . .
Coffee Prints
After a week of continual feasting (and food comas), it seems that coffee is a much-needed addition to the following week. Indonesian artist Ghidaq al-Nizar does something completely different with this beverage - he doesn't just chug it down like the rest of us.
