Eyeliner & Bamboos

I’m begininning to love this guy. Spike Jonze just put out a new short film featuring Kanye West. It was originally shot as the music video for See You in My Nightmares but yeah, whatever.

Check out Spike Jonze’s We Were Once a Fairytale.

I know you’ve heard about the new children’s movie, Where the Wild Things Are, adapted by Spike Jonze (if not you need to re-evaluate your priorities. Lol.) so lets skip to the merchandise!

Probably best capturing the book/films’ childhood element is this new set of Bearbricks and Kubrick from Medicom Toy. Featured is a Black Max Bearbrick in 400% format along with a set of the same design in a 100% scale, paired with the actual silhouette of Max in Kubrick style. Both are now available through various Medicom Toy retailers, including Colette.

Yeah I know it’s childish, sue me.

Thank the heavens for director  Spike Jonze and his desire to give the world my favorite book, in the form of a movie!

If you never read the book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak I’ll give you a little synposis now. This adorable little boy named Max who is sent to bed without supper (which I guess was different from dinner back then?) so imagines this ultra-super cool imaginary forest where he meets the “Wild Things”. Well he becomes the King Of All Wild Things and they dance and yeah and whatever…

But I love it, and I’m kind of wiggling with joy now.

sorry.

I mean I read enough at school so when I heard about this I was just like “uhhhh…” but Kanye‘s new book, Glow in the Dark, is a picture book! Yes! Lol. It’s 288 pages filled with 400 pictures, a CD with unreleased music and an interview.

Along with on stage and behind-the-scenes shots, the book includes conceptual sketches by West, costume designs, and stage models. The book comes with an audio CD featuring the previously unreleased live instrumentals for Hey Mama, Touch the Sky, Jesus Walks and I Wonder, as well as an interview with tour collaborator Spike Jonze.

Kanye, wether you think he’s and asshole or deserved the #4 spot on MTV’s Hottest MCs List, does some pretty creative stuff so I’m looking forward to flipping through it in my local Barnes and Nobles store because $50 is a little to expensive for me. The book is set to release this month; you can pre-order it on Amazon.
