We hope you’re not a birthday party clown now because this guy may leave you feeling a little deflated.

If you’ve ever been to Munich, you’ll know that this very cool stop animation by Yo Man is pretty much completely accurate. Except for it being way small. The Tumblingerstraße is a street in the German city where graffiti is legal and artists from all over Europe show their skills. And while it’s weird to see graf artists working in broad daylight, it’s fairly easy to see the benefits of having such a venue for street art. Enjoy the vid.
Are you a girl? Here’s a tip. Girls on bikes rule. Know what I’m saying guys?

Higher Arc is a new magazine that some freakishly talented and discerning friends are conspiring to put out later this year. From all reports, the content is blistering hot, covering bleeding edge design, high end fashion, art that makes you think and music that doesn’t suck. Basically, the Higher Arc kids want to make the magazine that they would like to read, and judging from their amazing taste in pretty much everything, we’re certain the rest of us are gagging for it too.
To help get this show on the road, they’re throwing a fundraising gig at the Grace Darling Hotel in Melbourne this Friday night.

So get on a higher plane of cultural existence and come along.
