Watch minimal and ghostly Producer Shlohmo and Jeremih work together on their new track Bo Peep from Yours Truly. I’ve been a fan of Shlohmo since tracking down one of his songs from a Youtube video where it had been used. Since then he has become a regular on the speakers at mine, this newest track sees him collaborate with artist Jeremih after the success of his remix of Fuck U All The Time. Yours Truly seemed to be at the right place at the right time and managed to capture these two writing and recording Bo Peep (Do U Right) and provides an awesome insight into the making of a record. A true reflection of creating music rather than those terrible script shots of a band in a studio – this film captures the hard work and late nights that you don’t see. Watch it and enjoy. www.yourstru.ly

We’ve all seen coffee art – the kind anyone can now create easily with a set of stencils but this guy takes it to a new level. I think this guy can claim to be the world’s only coffee portrait artist, that’s quite a title to have. Taken from Tumblr’s very own Storyboard blog barista Mike Breach creates speedy and impromptu portraits using bamboo paint brushes and pictures from his iPhone in NY Soho’s aptly named Smile To-Go. Take a look at the video above, I have a feeling this is going to be everywhere soon enough. Study this film and try your hand at it if you think you’re steady enough.

Neat little look at how a recent cover of the New York Times was put together by photographer Craig Cutler. I always like to see behind the curtain of artworks, how an artist has solved the problem of making an idea physical this short piece from on Craig Cutler’s cover. Initial sketches and a pre-edit shot of the back of the burger shows an image reminiscent of models with their clothes pegged tight behind them. Take a read on the NY Times blog here.
