Mike Kelley recreates Superman's birthplace 'Kandor' at the Gagosian Gallery, Kings Cross.
Kandor was apparently shrunk and bottled by a villain...
Loved the sculptural elements - interweaving comic book/sci-fi references with coloured resins, glass and miniature sci-fi worlds. Contrasted with monumental dark boulders, a cave and slabs that depict Superman's Fortress of Solitude.
Couldn't stand the Vice Anglais video - well it did focus on a group of sadistic perverts... - Kim

Dan Clowes' Mister Wonderful
The central character, Marshall, has been set up by his friend Tim on a blind date with someone named Natalie, and has been waiting nearly an hour...
He’s long since given up hope, when Natalie appears - and she seems too good to be true: attractive, young, intelligent, and engaged with what Marshall has to say.
There has to be a catch. And, of course, there is.
A beautifully paced visual novel, the imagery draws you into the character's tussle with uncertainty and the search for closeness. I particularly liked the visualisation of Marshall's inner dialogue, in addition to the character's dialogue. - Kim

The Mighty Boosh: selected characters
Carrots with Character
An acupuncturist living in Sussex, England, was surprised to find this carrot when gardening at her home in Burgess Hill.“ This is very cute, I have named this carrot Kevin,” Yvonne said.
Previous odd carrots include one shaped like the character astronaut 'Buzz Light Year' from Toy Story, found in Oxon. Meanwhile in Shropshire, a hand-shaped carrot with five fingers was found by a 66-year-old man called Peter Jackson.
