Before & After • My New Master Bedroom and Bathroom

I nearly burned down the house because I couldn’t handle working with my dad anymore. I had to let him go (aka fire) and hire someone else to finish the shower because his presence really impacted my well being towards the end.

Mappe Of’s new video is an escapist fantasy

Creative Review

With the news remaining pretty bleak right now, a bit of escapism can go a long way. Inspired by the fictional lands found in works by Carl Jung, J.R.R. Tolkien and Joseph Campbell, Mappe Of’s latest album The Isle of Ailynn takes listeners to faraway places that feel particularly enticing amid the current circumstances. “This record has always been about leaving our world to visit a fantastical one, full of amplified versions of questions we’ve asked ourselves for a long time.

A Collage of Overlapping Videos Creates a Wild Rube Goldberg-esque Motion Sequence

Colossal

Beginning with a man blowing his lips, an impressive compilation by Donato Sansone merges short clips of car crashes, fiery explosions, and punches thrown during a boxing match into a believable series of consequences. Ranging from nature to sports to destructive events, each seconds-long bit appears to lead right into the next in “ Concatenation “—seemingly, a rocket launches straight into a pool ball that then causes a diver to jump into the water.
