#106 Stationery boners

If you're anything like me and need a mop everytime you open the office stationery cupboard/walk into Gordon Harris, you've probs taken the quality not quantity movement. These two gems are my current stationary obsessions.

The About Blank notebook - no logos, opens fully FLAT, binding where you can rip pages without other pages falling out, opaque paper AND white lines printed on one side so you can write, or ignore and draw. *salivates*

And, Urban outfitters Get the hint adhesive labels.
I can't fucking wait till they arrive, back ordered for another two weeks, (FUCK THAT) I went nuts and bought three packs of the bastards (FUCK YEAH).


Effective office communication through bringing the office LOLZ. Genius.

#105 Rainbows

Now all I need is a unicorn.

#104 Back to the future

In case you missed it, Monday was 'the future.'

*sigh* Oh to still be a child of the eighties convinced that right now we'd be Tony Stark.

#103 Badge fun

We have one of those guys who comes into work with a different collection of books/toys/carseat organiser-esque type crap each week, that've been gathering dust at their distribution warehouse. They sit there, we have a nosey, and although I've totally banned myself from buying any more from him, in the last two weeks I've bought a badge maker set and a battery operated toy rooster that dances to music and squarks when you wring it's neck. *hangs head*

When I head to Splendour in OZ this month I'm missing out on a family reunion, so thought it'd be awesome to make my parentals and sisters badges with my face on them for the LOLZ. UNTIL I FOUND OUT I CAN'T GET REFILLS AFTER I'VE USED THE TEN. Which places me in a bit of a conundrum as all of a sudden the ten I have now seem real valuable and I wanna do something amazing with them...

#101 Digital Holga

Nice wee project by industrial designer Saikat Biswas, a digital Holga that retains just the right amount of quirky Holga-radcore-ness. Nice one.

#099 The Bare essentials

A self-initiated project by Ashwin Patel, the stereotypical ‘must haves’ of the graphic designer -from mind set and values to tools and appliances.

Get your hands on one here!

#097 Shredding it

Italian street atists Sten & Lex developed a shredded stencil technique, making stencils and pasting them on a panel of wood as a poster. They then paint the whole board black, when it’s dry , remove the stencil leaving some parts on the board, and rounding it off the stencil is destroyed and becomes part of the poster.
Nice one.

#082 What the font?

Answer four simple questions and find out 'which type are you?'

(Van Doesburg seeks like-minded typeface for open relationship/walks on the beach.
No time wasters.)

#081 Visual Mixtape

A self initiated project by Noe Emberson. 25 of his favourite albums, title/lyrics/shapes and pics from his Reaching For Imperfection photo series.

Ironic I post this after taking the piss out of the vintage formula but these are awesome.

Jump to the whole series.

#080 Hipstermatic

#067 Photobooth mask

Hahaha, this photobooth mask by Mark Pernice brought the lolz.

#062 Mac Book Book Book

I remember seeing these Book book cases a while back and salivating all over my Semi Permanent ticket. Handmade one of a kind leather hardback velvety soft interior goodness for your Macbook. I even contemplated a new mac just so I could get one and now I'm in the market for a new lappy I ACTUALLY NEED ONE!

*fist pumps*

#057 Up there

In a world of pixels and pantones, choosing a gruellingly labour intensive solution to visual advertising creative seems sooooo ridiculous.

This short film about large-scare hand painted advertising in New York makes me happy that even though it might seem nuts, there's still people working their passionate asses off making sure the result of such a dying artform is still feasible. Even if it is cheaper and faster to print on vinyl...

#045 Do not be scared

I love scoping round Etsy.com and mentally high-fiving crafty folk making money from making cool things and often get jealous I'm not doing the same.

Stumbled across Paul Revie's etsy page this morning, a signwriter and graphic designer who makes vinyl on glass boxes filled with 'had to be there moments', each with an eccentric stream of consciousness mental fart about where they came from.

(much like this really.)

#042 ♥

I see what you did there.

#038 Japanese town logos

If there was a support group for people 'bordering on obsessive behaviour towards a good symbol' I'd be totally be president.

And someone would show me these Japanese town logos on cards at the end of my rehabilitation period with wires attached to my body to measure a response...

#029 GILLES ET DADA Campaign
