Guns, gangsters and bleeding pigs…what more could you ask for?

Maybe it’s something to do with being Russian but Alexey Titarenko has a very bleak style of photography. His streets of St Petersburg are stalked by apparitions as are his pictures of Havana, though we’re not quite sold on the bleakness of the latter.

Mike Sacks is a serious writer, hell, he’s on the staff of Vanity Fair. Nonetheless he has enough spare time to photograph what’s on his TV. What a job that must be.

While this does sound insane, one Jamaican company is marketing prefabricated igloo-style homes. Apparently they’re a practical solution to hurricanes and require little maintenance, claim Caribbean Tropical Igloo Homes (CTIH).

Born in 1955 Birmingham, Alabama, but reared in Chicago and inspired by Goya and comic books, Kerry James Marshall built his reputation in LA as an artist who bridged the gap between black American culture and African diaspora folk material.

For those of us who still rent, we can still dream. ArchDaily is architectural pornography for those of us who dream of one day owning a plot a piece of land, building on it…and then get robbed for having too conspicuous a home.

We’d hope that urban planners in Jamaica seek this guy’s advice, whenever they get the funding that is. Enrique Peñalosa was the Mayor of Bogotá, Colombia credited for revitalising the capital city’s architecture and environment.
