Portable home for a hamster

I found this woolworths bag on the floor in bethnal green yesterday, it will be worth something one day :)

moving house

A drawing I did of a lovely house I would like to moving in to, but I'm very happy with my new Kingston home :)

I found this cute ribbon in the Albert Cuyp market in De Cuyp, Amsterdam, I would love to live there after my degree. I went to the most delicious Moroccan restaurant there called 'Bazar' - you have to go if you make a visit!

this would be a good trim to photocopy onto a 'house zine'

Juxtapoz

Juxtapoz is a cool graphic + art magazine, I have only bought it once, but there was so much in it. Recently I have been checking out there blog:
http://www.juxtapoz.com/Home


On it I came across Mark Whalen, a brilliant illustrator - his work speaks for itself!


I love this picture if him, I know that if I was painting that line now I would probably smudge it, I want to get back to that calm state of drawing/painting.

even better graphic design

This is the business card for a social network inspired restaurant in Gran Canaria. I think it seems a bit off-putting to eat at a place that makes you think about cooking faces. The 'natural'  & 'fresh' vibe they want to give off isn't really shown here, but it's a cool manipulation of the trademark facebook.

a great piece of graphic design

Just because it's got my name in it.

TYPE

My friend posted The Kooks' 'Is It Me' music video on my wall, because she knew I liked typewriters. For a long while there has been an up in the use of typewriters in illustration and graphic design, but in recent years it seems they have become more commercially used. I was walking in Carnaby St the other day and I saw a shopfront with the company's new range and the information coming out of a typewriter, I think it was Diesel.
This also reminded me of the printed t-shirts of machines and the typewriter necklaces that Urban Outfitters do.


This necklace of a gold replica with a print sample has evolved into a simple graphical representation:


It seems quite fitting at this time as the world's last typewriter was made this summer by Mumbai based company 'Godrej and Boyce.' Approximately 12,000 machines were being produced up until 2009 - when they were still commonly used in India, and now the company is down to it's last 200 for sale.
