I always feel a sense of happiness whenever I read about any cool news coming out of Australia. I know we are a massive country size-wise, but it doesn't really seem like much news seems to spurt out from beyond our oceans. The ones that do get spread revolve around the occasional shark attack (understatement), people drunkenly pulling off their pants in public, and how can we forget...the video . . .
If They Could Talk…
Berlin-based greeting card designer and freelance illustrator Charly Clements creates the most adorable series titled 'Real Life Lines'.

The simplest of doodles breathes life into each of them and certainly puts a smile on one's face. Other than the awesome . . .

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.
