I remember watching this exactly a year ago and feeling like I had just done something very naughty. ACNE (Ambition to Create Novel Expressions) continues to deliver some of most supreme offerings in fashion, design, and publishing today. In this case, Acne Film and Andreas Larsson created a short film, which purely exemplifies the collective. It’s extremely understated and minimal (which I love) but still has the ability to have a cultish allure. The last fashion film I posted was Kenneth Anger for Missoni—ACNE’s comes in second, most of the other fashion ‘films’ are not as amusing. The Swedes have done it again.

The Magical World of Pen & Pixel
Houston, Texas-based graphic design firm Pen and Pixel are in a class of their own. Founded by Shawn Brauch and his brother in 1992, Pen and Pixel Graphics began by providing rappers from the south with very little budget the ability to create glamorous looking album covers that would stand out on record store shelves.
The Work of Tim Lahan
Tim Lahan is a New York-based illustrator whose work I’ve followed and admired over the years. Needless to say, I was both thrilled and flattered to receive a message in my inbox from him complementing our work here at The Bear Cave. Tim’s work is bright, playful, and smart, and I see great potential for a Tim Lahan/Bear Cave collaboration in the near future.
