RAT FIGHT


There's a story about a rat fight and a feathered killer. What more do you need to add a little cheer to an otherwise dreary Monday then this story at double fine.

WHATISBLIK


Do the walls of your home or office need a trendy make-over? A fresh coat of paint to permanent? Well they can be all that thanks to these creative cats at whatisblik.

HYPNOTEIS


Beautiful, super cool and enviable work by Dutch firm Hypnoteis.
So much of colour.

FACE HUNTER


Facehunter features looks from sultry to sensastional full of fashion pioneers the world over. Some of the clothes are wack, but it's a great idea and highly amusing to see the extent people will go to, to stand out or make a statement.

GET A GIRLFRIEND



Gotta love these ads by Lowe Bull (CT) for Axe. They have to be pretty stoked with them themselves. They picked up a Gold Loerie for their efforts.

ALL ABOUT ALBERT



This is Albert. He is an old bloke in Wales who became the subject of photographer KayLynn Deveney's PhD in photographic studies. Amazing story.... great idea... sad ending.

REE TREWEEK


Soon to be discussed with expected and increasing frequency in design and ilustration circles alike, is the work of gifted illustrator Ree Treweek. Whether teaming up with other local artists and working across mediums on non-commercial projects or, producing commercial visuals for the corporates like Virgin Airlines, Ree's work rocks for lack of a better word.

RED STAG



Was browsing Flickr and found this pic of an apartment. Okay...the red stag on the wall is hot...and it's a light as well but that's not it. It's the feel of the space. I walk into some rooms or see one in a magazine and it's love. Can't-put-your-finger-on-it kinda love.

SIMPLE THINGS



More than often the simplest things bring the most joy. Like riding your first BMX down a hill you know you shouldn't. Winning a flippin cool prize in a colouring-in compo and of course drawing on a wall.

TAM TAM TRADING



Spans of nifty interior and decor goodies at tam tam trading. Seems like all the stores I love are in Cape Town.

TASTY...VERY TASTY



Tons of mouthwatering free recipes for those bachelors and bachelorettes who haven't quite found their cooking feet yet but still feel the frequent urge to rustle up something a little new and different. Let's be honest here you can only eat spaghetti bolognese so many times in a month. Jamie provides some fairly simple concoctions with his usual flair of yum. Try some and let me know how they turn out.

TINTOWN












Many of you guys may have seen Tintown's work at The Space, NSA Gallery Shop or in an issue of Elle Decoration. I think they deserve a spot on my blog, purely for their simplicity and great sense of design. So check them out online when you get a free moment between all that facebooking and so on....

adrian johnson



Adrian Johnson has some great work displayed on his site. Full of dry and quirky humour.

know hope



Quoted below are details on the artist as posted on wooster collective.

Know Hope is an artists from Tel-Aviv who creates handmade drawings out of paper and then lights them up with candles.

The artists tells us:

"What I like about the lanterns is that it deals with the frail temporary aspect of putting up art in street. If I take the best case scenario (that nobody takes the piece after a short while and there are no extreme winds or rain) then the longest life span of these pieces will be that of the candles, which is probably just a few hours. Therefore, when someone runs into it on the street they know that it was placed there not so long ago and they, by coincidence, got there in the small time frame that the piece was "active", hopefully giving them the feeling that it was placed there especially for them, and maybe guiding them, following them home and subtly lighting up their way."
