UPROXX Video has created a great seven-minute supercut video of Sterling Archer’s best one-liners. The season five premiere of Archer aired on FX Monday, January 13th, 2014.

As we close in on the Archer Season 5 premiere, it only seems fitting to pivot our coverage from what will be happening this season to why we fell in love with the show to begin with. And nothing says that like a supercut of all the awesome things Sterling Archer has said through four seasons of being the world’s premiere womanizing alcoholic super spy.

Cuban Cigar Box, 2013

Hush Money 22, 2013

The subject of Randall Rosenthal’s artwork at times seem inconsequential. Stacks of old newspapers and magazines, a comic book collection in a cardboard box, envelopes stuffed with various stacks of currency. And then you discover that you’re really looking at only two things: a single piece of Vermont white pine and skillfully applied acrylic paint. These are the only materials Rosenthal requires to mimic the look and feel of flimsy newsprint, worn trading cards, translucent pieces of tape and deteriorating cardboard boxes. What’s all the more amazing is that he doesn’t work from a photograph or model, but instead creates each object as he goes, using only an image in his mind as a guide.

After graduating from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in the late 1960s Rosenthal opened his first exhibition of surrealist paintings, a direction he pursued until the late 80s. His focus then shifted to architectural design and next into the realist sculptures he creates today. You can read more about his process and inspiration in this recent interview in rh+artmagazine.

See much more of Rosenthal’s work over at Bernarducci.Meisel.Gallery, and he’s been updating this message board thread at Sawmill Creek since 2011 to show some of his ongoing progress with different projects.

After spending a week photographing various areas of the Canadian Rockies, photographer Brian Donovan decided he wanted to focus on getting some interesting train shots against the wintry backdrop. Dovan shares via email that over the course of two days he endured nearly 13 hours of sitting by the train tracks, where he saw only 6 trains coming from the wrong (less scenic) direction. As the weather rapidly changed from better to worse a final train came roaring around the bend. Donovan quickly setup and captured the engine as it neared and then adjusted for a long exposure of the boxcars rushing by. The train was loaded with several long segments of different colored boxcars, each giving the shot a unique feel, but the red boxcars instantly stood out, resulting in the amazing image you see here. You can follow Donovan over on 500px.

Just a few weeks ago we shared Sarah Schoenfeld’s visual interpretation of recreational drugs, and today we have a cinematic interpretation of taste courtesy of filmmaker Chris Cairns titled the Sound of Taste. Created as a commercial for Schwartz Flavour Shots, the slow-motion video pairs musician MJ Cole and pyrotechnician Paul Mann in a carefully orchestrated firework show of exploding spices, what they describe as a “sonic flavorscape.” You can learn more about how it came together and watch a behind-the-scenes clip over on PetaPixel.

It’s the last day the Your Best Shot 2013 pool is open. To celebrate your contributions over the past 6 weeks, we will feature a handful of Samplr posts throughout the day.

If you haven’t done so already or simply needed some time to think about it, seize the day and share your favorite of 2013 with us. The group pool will close shortly after midnight PST.

The Maratus speciosus, also known as Coastal Peacock Spider is one of the most striking species in the genus Maratus. Their name derives from their colorful abdominal flaps that they display during courtship. The tiny spider, only a mere four millimeter in length, can be found in metropolitan Perth.

Studio Sitges (2010) by Olson Kundig Architects

Design Principal: Tom Kundig
Structural Engineer: Francisco Mendez
General Contractor: Carbonell Freixas S.L.
Metal Fabricator/Installer: Metalisteria Mecrimas S.L.
Photographed by Nikolas Koenig

Location: Sitges, Spain

Studio Sitges creates a dual working and living space for two artists. A large below-grade photography studio anchors the building, with several floors for entertaining rising above, culminating in an intimate private space on the top level.

Large panels of steel arch from the ground over the entrance, curving to create part of the building’s roof. Materials with a strong industrial aesthetic, including untreated steel and cast-in-place concrete, are used in the entry sequence, while the rear of the building opens to the landscape.
