After a brief hiatus from his whirlwind New York residency last October, Banksy emerged with at least two new pieces over the weekend. The first depicts a trio of shady government officials crowding around a phone booth using analog recording devices to eavesdrop on conversations. That piece popped up in Cheltenham, a borough of Gloucestershire, England which is not coincidentally home of the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). The second piece which depicts two lovers basking in the light of their mobile devices just appeared on Banksy’s website and is also presumably in the UK.

The NYC apartment that Johnny Depp and Kate Moss used to rent back in the 90s (when they were engaged) has now come on the market, available to have for the price of $19,000 USD (approx. £11,500) a month. Located in Greenwich Village on Waverly Place, the building was originally constructed in the 1800s and has been converted in luxury apartments complete with fireplace, floating bathtub, heated floors, gourmet kitchen, and stunning 25-foot ceilings. The apartment also comes with private outdoor space on both levels. Check it out below.

Due to the timing of the announcement, everyone assumed that SHUT's $15,000 gold-plated skateboard was just an April Fools' joke. Turns out it's true, however, and New York skate shop have actually produced the board (we're assuming it's a one off) in collaboration with designer Matthew Willet. Measuring 31 1/2 inches in length, 8 inches wide, the weighing in at around 9 lbs, the skateboard is pretty much exactly the same as any other skateboard and includes fully functioning parts such as Independent trucks. To make sure you don't scratch it up, it even comes with cotton archival gloves. If you're keen to get your hands on this, it looks like you'll have to contact the store directly as it's listed as "Out of Stock" on the online store.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of iconic game Tetris, fans turned the 29-storey Cira Centre into an 100,000 square-foot "screen" which was controllable using a joystick. The feat was possible due to hundreds of LED lights embedded in the building's facade, which normally display colourful geometric patterns at night.

Futurecop! - Atlantis 1997 (a fuckyeah1990s video) 

Disco and house savant Todd Terje dropped a new single today via his usual stomping ground, Olsen Records. “Spiral” and “Q” are sprawling and dense pieces of dance music that both stretch past the 10-minute mark, though Terje makes it so easy to get lost in them that it always seems shorter. Listen to both below.

Boing Boing reader Hubertus shot these lovely shots of very neatly organized and labeled heirloom apple varieties at the Cambridge Botanical Garden in the UK, and shared them in the Boing Boing Flickr Pool. The organization hosts an annual Apple Day, which sounds fun for both foodies and botany fans. Apples are one of the most amazing things about Autumn. What's your favorite variety? I like my apples like I like my people: imperfect, easily bruised, and sweet.

Ecuador-based illustrator and art director Javier Pérez has been posting a fun series of photo illustrations over on his Instagram account. The simple ideas mix everyday objects with line drawings, creating balloons out of grapes, porcupine quills out of nails, or light bulbs out of balloons. These are a few of my favorites but you can see much more here. (via Behance)

A mais antiga marca portuguesa de cosmética, Muzas, está a ser relançada no mercado pelo grupo Canavezes através da linha de cinco sabonetes Canavezes Muzas. Trata-se de uma marca em que os sabonetes são inspirados nas cinco quinas do brasão de Canavezes, atribuído pelo Infante D. Henrique, e apresentam os nomes Art, Mystery, Romance, Nature e History. “A Muzas era a marca de luxo da Canavezes e foi a primeira marca de cosmética do nosso país. Só se produzia sob encomenda para as famílias mais prósperas do país e do estrangeiro”, explica Patrícia de Canavezes, responsável da empresa. Numa primeira fase, além do mercado nacional, os sabonetes Canavezes Muzas serão também comercializados em Paris.
