Just what we need right now — someone to shed some light on the situation. Art director Kleber Matheus, whose graphic designs have found their way onto apparel from kingpin Brazilian labels Ellus and Neon, is getting props for his Neo Ornamental solo exhibit in Sao Paulo at Galeria Polinesia all done with neon tubes. Rather than be twisted into words that tell us whether a place is open or if it serves beer and pizza, he’s arranged them into geometrical forms and placed them in different settings like against a garden backdrop to offer up the discussion between organic versus the posed/manmade and how they can be used together in harmony to give off good vibes. Nevertheless, is it just me or do you feel like eating a hot dog all of a sudden?

Wallpaper…it’s pretty much always on display. However, not all wallpaper on display is as eye catching as that which currently gracing the walls of the ground floor at colette. The Paris retail store has the honor of hosting an exhibition of Pottok wallpaper by famed designer Geoff McFetridge. The exhibition is made up of several of the artist’s prints and patterns created with water-based inks and recyclable paper on some serious hand made silk-screens. If you just so happen to find yourself strolling down the rue Saint-Honoré we recommend checking it out.

Each week we’ll comb through Rumplo’s pages and pages of of kitchy, artistic, and often hilarious tees, to bring you our picks. We’ve had a kind of a Tyler Durden week, which is to say we “wanted to destroy something beautiful.” Here are a couple that meet our killer criteria:

Scrap Metal: This is what would have happened to R2 had he gone with Luke to rescue Leia. That Death Star trash compactor isn’t very forgiving.

Chainsaw Killer Bunny: Did you know that if given the chance, carrots would kill you and everyone you loved? I don’t call this rabbit a murderer, we call him a hero.

Surf’s Up Dudes: What would happen if Dr. Strangelove met Johnny Utah from Point Break? This shirt.

Noah Butkus: Our old friend Noah Butkus puts his hooded killer on full display. This masked man clearly loves his work.

Many horror movies are extremely laughable due to the fact that the situations presented within them are completely unbelievable, allowing audiences to suspend their disbelief for the entire course of the film. However, Errol Morris’s latest film, Standard Operating Procedure is no laughing matter. The events it covers actually did happen. Opening April 25th, this feature length documentary from the director of The Fog of War and The Thin Blue Line, which is being billed as a non-fiction horror movie, takes an unflinching, in-depth look at the atrocities carried out at Abu Ghraib and the people behind them. With exclusive interviews with almost all of the principles in the now infamous photographs including Lynndie England, Morris probes for the context surrounding the photographs and explores the surrounding influences in terms of Post 9/11 Culture and the U.S. military and intelligence chains of command. In other words, it’s a must see.

Kitsune Noir has recognized the wallpapering genius of Spear Collective Dan Funderburgh. Fundy — as nobody calls him — is kind of a big deal with creating fun wallpaper designs that translate well in digital form. Don’t be surprised if the coffeehouse regulars start looking over at your laptop. And this time it won’t be for German porn.

When the calendar hits the vernal equinox our natural inclination is to rid ourselves of multiple layers and bust out the short sleeves. However, every spring season has it’s grace period. It doesn’t automatically get warm because a certain date has passed and often times the weather fluctuates so wildly between mildly warm and “let’s stay inside” that finding a happy medium as far as your outerwear goes seems nearly impossible. Thankfully, the folks at Spyder Freeryde have taken seasonal Schizophrenia into account to give you the ultimate option for dealing with the Spring weather’s multiple personality disorder. The Boulder-based active sports apparel company’s ultra-versatile Northshore Windbreaker is made from super lightweight wind and water resistant fabric and is equipped with two-toned zippered sleeves that allow it to be warn as both a jacket and a vest, making it an ideal option for when it’s just sorta warm or perfectly pleasant. We suggest picking one up and solving your seasonal coat quandary for good.
