Spring is finally here though you wouldn’t know it where I live since the snowbanks are all over 6 feet high. This beautiful piece by Platon Sosnitsyi, from Kipod in Israel, makes me hopeful that we will actually see green around these parts again. I love the way that hummingbird pops and depth in the flowers. It makes me ache for some new ink. And for summer!

In a relatively short time, body modification seems to have not only grown, in terms of pushing boundaries but also in terms of mainstream attention, at least, that has been my observation. I can’t imagine some of the more extreme body modifications being covered in mainstream media (other than a purely negative piece) when I first discovered BME (however many years ago that was, shh, not telling).
Gelding sent me a link to an interview he did with Gawker. The interview itself is very professional and positive (I can’t speak for the comments). It’s refreshing to see this sort of extreme modification getting positive coverage from a more mainstream outlet.

We had caught wind via email that a Swedish film maker by the name of Claudio Marino has decided to make a short documentary about our old pal Little Swastika.
I have always been a huge fan of Marc’s work, and it has been featured heavily on ModBlog and in the galleries. There is a sort of a mystique around Little Swastika and his shop that I would be genuinely interested in learning a lot more about. The film will be a short 15 minute documentary about the four days the film makers spent in Zurich with Marc. You can watch the teaser trailer below, and be sure to check out the official website for the film! I’ll be looking forward to this one!
