- Stanley Kubrick’s Boxes - Jon Ronson’s documentary on Stanley Kubrick’s archive that aired last night as part of Channel 4’s Kubrick season. Items of interest were the amount of location photography that Kubrick had shot by various assistants including his nephew Manuel Harlan - roughly 30,000 in one year for ‘Eyes Wide Shut’, the sinister hat test footage from ‘A Clockwork Orange’ and the creep letter archive. So many boxes, too little time.
- Evan Hecox - Arkitip have a rapidly diminishing collection of Evan’s prints for sale. Grab them while you can. Also check out their ‘curated‘ section for some custom ‘Apple’ product designs.
- Kill Spiders, Buy Art. Support Matthew Woodson aka Ghostco by purchasing some of his excellent artwork.

Last weeks’ Sunday Telegraph published a four page special supplement on Stanley Kubrick. Featuring an interview with Kubrick’s widow Christiane Kubrick, extracts from his letters and images from the Stanley Kubrick Archive, it’s now been published online. There’s also a short interview with Stephen Berkoff on working with Kubrick. Next Sunday they’re running a photographic gallery of props; ‘Stanley Kubrick: a props odyssey’. Something to watch out for.
