A Science Adventure

Magna is a Science Adventure Museum/Exhibition - not often you get to look around inside a disused steel foundry - so i made the most of the opportunity..

I often used to wonder who read blogs, let alone who wrote them.. now i find myself doing both i love it, constantly inspired and up to date with the goings on of the creative world (well at least that that makes it online) Here is a graph showing the traffic of this modest blog... Ive never had lofty expectations for it, infact the idea that someone wants to see what ive posted is quite odd - but very heartwarming. To those who've stopped by, and especially to those who check back often - big thanks.


Biggest blogging related success so far has to be the feeling i got the other day when exploring one of my long-held design heros (Brian Ewing) site and behold there in his 'them' list appeared my very own blog! stoked 100%.

To Do

TO-DO TATTOO
the perfect solution for your shoddy short-term memory

A tongue-in-cheek tribute to anyone who’s ever
scribbled a reminder on their hand or wrist. Err, that would
be about everybody, right?

Sweet

Go check out this awesome piece of transitory type Marian Bantjes produced for Stefan Sagmeister. Explore more cool work on her site.

Her cover for the Guardian magazine is wonderful..

Dining in 2015

‘This spoon makes us softly feel that we live to be given the blessings of nature. It is designed with the wish that we think a great regards of dining more and more as human’s essential workings in the future’ - Shuhei Senda


Above is Leaf Spoon, designed by Shuhei Senda from Japan, one of the 3 first-prize winners of Dining in 2015. This contest, organized by designboom and macef, challenged designers to design a food-related product that would be useful in 2015 at work, in travel, or at home. No less than 4843 creative individuals and institutions from 98 countries have participated.

Creature Comforts

Invisible Creature is the bomb. Seriously people, they have consistently kicked out some of my favourite design work for years - under various guises and in varied places (Asterisk Studio etc) Ryan and Don Clark (brothers, not lovers) who form the 'Creature also play in a band called Demon Hunter. More info on the band here Ryan somehow also manages to squeeze in Art Directing the Tooth & Nail family. Busy busy boys.

You can check out lots of their work and thoughts on The Creature Speaks, their blog.

I'm in the process of ordering some signed screenprints from them. Excited much? YOU BET. What follows is a varied selection of some of their beautiful output (click to make it BIG)

Rules

Thanks to Gui for this one..old news to some but a classic site well worth wasting hours on once you've exhausted Wikipedia and Dictionary.com

Global reach

The guy above is Bobby. Bobby lives and works in Los Angeles, USA. Today he blogged about some work i did last year that took his fancy. It really is a small world.

Go check out his piece! to see what he had to say about Advice To Sink In Slowly.

His blog on the project was featured on NOTCOT.org, a web portal of sorts where people can post finds of visual interest - its awesome and i now check it daily. If you're not onboard - get with it people. Click the image below to go looksee for yourself.

Immaculate Renovations

Thanks to the Coolhunter for this one.. check out the article here some amazing examples of renovated church buildings for residential and private use.

Telegrammtastic

Bobby and Chris, aka Telegramme, are my favourite image makers bar none. I had the pleasure of Bobby's friendship while at uni and have since worked with him on a couple of things. They produce piece after piece of excruciatingly beautiful work and I am always uber jealous of their skills. BIG things will happen for them, especially seeing as they've just moved to a space next to the old Big Breakfast house - a peanut factory! World domination is one step closer. IF you're clueless to who im on about please go and explore every single part of their lovely website and maybe order something from their webstore - i know as soon as i get paid i will be! Here is a small selection of their recent work that particularly caught my eye..

Slime

Famous Stars and Straps (of awesome belt buckle fame) Limited Ed 2007 BOH slime pillow...how i would totally blow $60 if i had it spare right now! Reminds me of all the gruesome things House Industries come up with and also Gui's gnarly surf-board graphics..

Drowning in a digital sea?

technological find of the day has to be this awesome glow-in-the-dark product Litroenergy" -

"The Litrospheres™ are not affected by heat or cold, and are 5,000-pound crush resistant. They can be injection molded or added to paint. The fill rate of Litroenergy micro particles in plastic injection molding material or paint is about 20%. The constant light gives off no U.V. rays, and can be designed to emit almost any color of light desired."

Getting Creative

Thanks to CR for this one.. check their posting to read more.

Cooked

This is epic and stolen from Gui.. thanks!

"Croatian creative agency Bruketa & Zinić have designed an annual report for food company Podravka that has to be baked in an oven before it can be read.

Called Well Done, the report features blank pages printed with thermo-reactive ink that, after being wrapped in foil and cooked for 25 minutes, reveal text and images.

If you are not precise, the booklet will burn, just as any overcooked meal. If you have successfully baked your sample of the annual report, the empty pages will become filled with text, and the illustrations with empty plates filled with food."

Mentor

Bryan Clark. Giant. Heavyweight. Superstar. All accurate when describing my former mentor. Now Grafik agree..

When i wrote to the Bryman about his most recent accolade he responded "rather pleased that Paul Rand is finally
getting off my patch!" genius. legend. hero.

Balls!

Father Guido Sarducci lays down some quality advice that would've come in handy during my happy years spent 'tossing the orb' on the beach in Falmouth. Skits on the HBMS album are h i l a r i o u s.
