DESIGN – Half A Conversation


I Love Boxie... a mint graphic language t-shirt website has launched 'Half A Conversation' where you can have a custom tee made from your very own life experiences, worth checking out the tees and reading the stories behind them. Jennifer above has a few, all to do with Falling in Love with some hunk or something...Cute!. I've just thought of my own Tee Slogan..."Big Jammy Bakewell Tart, Bright Yellow Custard" The story goes... I went to the gym today, burnt loads of calories, when't for a nice roast beef and yorkshire pudding diner, had a little dip in energy and spotted this sexy little Bakewell Tart winking at me, so I poured custard all over her and munched away. Simples!

FASHION - I Made You a Beard


Women and Beards? Knitted Beards even? You might think that's a little odd!... Well if you studied in Taunton, UK like I did back in the late 90s and shopped in the local Sainsbury's, you will have seen it all before. There was one fine specimen who used to scan my Barcodes, she had a lovely flowing silvery/grey beard that glistned under the strip lighting. I digress... Check out Erin Dolla Blog IMadeYouABeard.blogspot.com she is trail blazing the under 30's beard movement. You go girl!

WEBSITE Tweenbots | Kacie Kinzer NY


I Love a Robot me... Just received an email with an article about Tweenbots, a Robot/People art experiment by Kacie Kinzer. "Tweenbots are human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal." There is a great Lo-Fi video showing Mission 1: Get from the Northeast to the Southwest Corner of Washington Square Park / time: 42 minutes / number of people who intervened: 29. Enjoy! I did. Na nu, na nu...

Yes! that's correct I said "Augmented Reality" Using a webcam and flash, Boffswana took ‘Proto’ (an ugly blob of green snot) from their desktop to the desk.

Typography + Alphabet Cities (by Craig Ward)


Apart from sleeping, surfing and jack daniels, typography is up there as one of my favorite things. The inter-character spacing of Craig Ward's prints are getting my typography juices flowing, as a friend of mine would say "Sex and Typography are my two favorite things" you know who you are... Why not go purchase yourself one of these sweet Large scale typographic maps of the cities Craig has visited at www.wordsarepictures.co.uk (£70, it's a steel).

Dad joke I know, but they are the best kind (well that's what my dad says). Check out some more of these really cool 'Roger Rabbit' style illustrations from Portuguese artist Ana Ventura.
