I am a rather kind soul without a penchant for violence, but I must say... I LOVE THIS NOTEBOOK. You can buy it via CoolHunting. . . .
The Art of Death
Is it morbid to thoroughly enjoy looking at de(re)constructed skulls in all shapes and sizes? I guess not, beauty comes in all forms. Ali Gulec from İkiiki created a series of amazing skull illustrations, each one composed of experiments combining different items to form the ubiquitous symbol of death adding another level of complexity from the last. They are created using digital and . . .
Blur of Lights & Colour
I do enjoy living Shanghai. Well, for the most part at least... Just the other week, I tried to catch a taxi on a Friday night (quite a feat) - finally flagged one down and an elderly lady rushed ahead of me. I politely told her that I was actually standing there first, and she looked at me and yelled "but I have children!" and proceeded to slam the door in my face. Just note that her children . . .
A Cocktail in Your Pocket
This is a 100% appropriate post for a Friday evening. It is about cocktails, convenience and awesome vintage design - is it ticking all the boxes for you? Keep reading... Cody Petts created handy kits for classic beverages such as the Old Fashioned and Daiquiri that fit right into your pocket. They each contain the necessary ingredients to prepare the beverage and a little recipe card. . . .
Art on Chocolate
How many of you buy products that have great packaging, despite whether or not you know anything about it? I'm putting my hand up in agreeance to that. UNELEFANTE is a gift shop with a team that includes a tea sommelier, a botanist and a poet. With this eclectic and certainly unique team, they strive to "transform the ordinary into extraordinary experiences" with a variety of whimsical items . . .
Adding Fun through Colours
Being the first day back from our week-long public holiday (I love China!), we definitely needed some colour in our day. ...and I certainly found it when I came across the rebranding of London-based design agency Dalziel&Pow. Their logo was first created 15 years ago and it was finally time for a fresh new look, so they made it all about bright colours, patterns, and expressive . . .
Triangular Entertainment
Triangles are synonymous with Toblerone when it comes to confectionery. Using the knowledge of this iconic shape, Artistic director Maxime Damo and copywriter Gilles André created a series of four prints using the headline “the main piece of your films”. Can you guess which movies these posters are portraying? [Answers in white, highlight for a sneak peek] - Titanic, Taxi . . .
Hip Hop Dudes
These little guys are so great. Created by graphic design studio FOREAL and inspired by hiphop culture, their hairstyles and styles are reminiscent of the rappers across a range of different eras. They bring back memories of the days when I was driving around in my yellow Celica with blonde streaks in my hair, blasting R&B and hiphop from burnt CDs. A time . . .
Fruit Rainbows
Okay, who of you knew that bananas could ever look like this? I am a fan of the banana (no sexual innuendo intended) and have one for breakfast each day - and even I had not seen it in its full potential. Romanian artist Dan Cretu takes the ripe fruit and carves patterns through its skin, the paints them to give each one its one unique character and personality. . . .
DRIFT With Me
Spotted this gem this morning - minimalistic perfection. Amongst the charming galleries, live music and a delicious foodie scene of San Jose del Cabo’s Historic Art District sits DRIFT, a boutique hotel aimed for young independent travelers. Inspired by “traveling without a destination”, it is a simple accommodation with a social atmosphere. "It is the prototype for a series of hotels that . . .
