Tasty visuals...

Love fast food and fancy a bit of wedded bliss.....well last week we found out that for £250 you can get chicken nuggets and get hitched at the same time at McDonalds in Hong Kong! The lucky happy meal couple gets to share their day with all their normal customers to and meet the original hamburgerler himself, old Ronald.

I'd rather have a tasty visual....

Aldo Lanzini's beautifully crazyily mad looking crochet masks most recently made an appearance at Missoni's Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show when the 30 ushers wore them to seat people. While the riotous colors and fantastical faces make compliment the Italian label's renowned knitwear well, their bold expressions and strange forms of the maskes are a spectacle of their own. His work is diverse and his website is very honest and inspiring, it  definitely pays to be different...

We ♥ shapes

especially when its in the form of paper crafted graphic design. ♥♥ Yulia Brodskaya ♥♥

Dreamscapes 2010...digital manipulation....

Currently exhibiting at the Caphe House Gallery  in London, Central Saint Martins graduate Joshua Datu has produced a series of conceptual digital images by manipulating others.  Having had a nose through his work here are some of our fav's...

Jaeger v Julie

JAEGER has recruited the artistic talents of Julie Verhoeven to create an exclusive illustration to be displayed in its soon-to-be opened Boutique by Jaeger pop-up store.

Verhoeven's new artwork will be used as the wallpaper for the store and in many of the label's shop windows. Elements of the illustration will also feature in a three dimensional form - as standees and hanging mobiles.

The Boutique by Jaeger store will open on Foubert's Place, off Carnaby St on August 7.

Recycling Decks

Here's a recent exhibition- Harvest by Haroshi: Skate and Destroy Exhibition recently shown at plsmis gallery in Tokyo,  All the artworks have been created with old worn, or snapped, skateboard decks.

“Skate decks eventually see its life shortened by snapping, cracking and/or wearing out. Purchasing new decks is a never ending cycle and this was evident by the tower of old decks that were reaching to the ceiling of my room. We can’t throw away these decks because they hold sentimental meanings to us. I looked at these unusable decks every day and thought there must be something I can make with these.
.....
We see the care and effort that a skater can have for his/her deck and we also acknowledge the origins of a skateboard. We believe that if the small things we do can connect to sustainability then we’re doing something right. We’d be satisfied in our effort when people look at products and start thinking of ways to recycle.”
