TUGBOAT PRINTSHOP
Was browsing the net looking for ideas and inspiration for an upcoming exhibition I'm working towards and found these. Tugboat Printshop are, to quote their profile splurb a "printshop, frameshop, and studio space located in Pittsburgh, PA. We specialize in woodcuts and etchings but also make drawings, gardens, renovations, and dinner." Love the way they look on the wall above.
FLICKR FIND 4: BIRD IN THE HAND
Love the little collections San Francisco mixed media artist and illustrator Lisa Congdon's got going on. Thrift store junkies and flea-market fiends this is for you. See her website, etsy page, gallery and blog links here. Oh wow just saw now there's a similar post about collections on the Elle decor blog here, check it out.

WHALE I NEVER
My mate Wok, who is a regular supplier of all links cool sent me this yesterday. Created by Alessandro Beda this ( yet to be produced ) two piece flower vase/holder is just fantastically designed and so well thought out. Just beautiful. Read more here.
ANIMAL FAMILIES
Maaike found these cards from Abbatt Toys online at things magazine. I presume Animal Families was a kids game from years gone by. I love the simple, bold quirkiness of the illustrations.
IF LOOKS COULD KILL
Great type treatment, simple colour palette and quirky imagery make for a great poster for the 2nd Fashion in Film Festival. Found here.
OOH ORIGAMI
A friend Maaike is somewhat of a pin-badge addict. She recently made this nifty little origami bird pin-badge. Read more here.
OFF THE WALL 3 - UPDATE
Some of my pieces from the Off the
Wall 3 Exhbition which opened Monday 28th April and closes this Saturday 10th May at 1pm. If you haven't popped down, try make it before the closing date and scope the local talent. Many thanks to Lee Scott Hempson, Danni Diana, Tyron Love and Kelly Crawford for buying some of my art.
DEMAKERSVAN
It's been quite some time since my last post (today has been one month exactly) and this is my attempt in spite of current demands to get back to regular posting.
Translated as "themakersof", Dutch trio Demakersvan is comprised of brothers Jeroen and Joep Verhoeven and Judith de Graauw. With a highly enviable and crazily fast rise to stardom in their related field, the group seem to have miraculously maintained a humble attitude regarding their new found fame, and all this at 29 years old and straight out of college. Read more here on Behind the Scene.
JOHNNY LOCO
For a while now I've been trying to check out the Johnny-Loco site but have had hassles for some reason (url error). But today, my friends I hit a bit of luck.
So I have a question for anyone reading this. When last did you ride a bike. I think the last time may have been when I was in London in 1999. I might have ridden one since, oh yes the little cycle race in 2002. Well anyway, in my opinion not much beats hitting a long, slow hill on a bike. It really is such an awesome experience. So to those whining about the soaring fuel price. Hop on a bike the next time you head down to your local café for some bread and milk. See my choice above. The Classic, City, Extreme and Cargo Beach Cruisers.
MADE IN CHINA
A while back I posted about some bamboo products I found while browsing. Well, the informed will know that bamboo is growing in preference to other mediums, across the board, from furniture to lighting and more. Last year a bunch of Israeli students from Shenkar College, took part in a bamboo toy workshop in China hosted by HaPe international Ltd. One month later and these are some of the results. Discovered on DesignBoom.
AIR BEAR
Okay it looks more canine than bear-like but this is without a doubt one of the COOLEST things I've found in recent weeks if not in the last long while. Joshua Allen Harris you're a genius!
Harris decided he'd make animals out of plastic bags and tie them to the ventilation grates of the subway, in what I presume must be New York. A train passes by underground, sends air rushing up and Voila! the creatures come to life. See pics and more info on Wooster Collective and the insane video of these beauties on Youtube here.
