Interiors

I am enjoying more before / after interiors at design*sponge

On the same vein I badly want this poster:
The original cover design for the book "les enfants terribles' by Jean Cocteau. Drawn by the author himself, the book is littered throughout with these fluid basic drawings which just seem to go with the book's atmosphere.

It is avaliable from the V&A shop for £15!

There are more classic covers for the same price:

10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job

I am enjoying many of the articles on stevepavlina.com particularly this:

I wish I had an extensive veg garden too!

Packaging lights.

I enjoy the idea of being able to transform rubbish and the old into the new, but to be honest I find that it is rarely done well or totally surpasses the point of rubbish.
But these lights by Anke Weiss are totally beautiful! Originally biscuit boxes then pin-pricked around the graphics to allow the light to get through.

Great idea, perhaps a bit strange with the lights on though!

Craft project!

New idea for personal branding images...
Jane said that there was too much of a difference between my work and the image i had set out for myself. I thought that the mountain drawing i did for one of the tape covers would lend itself well to a header image .

Also no 'yellow and black' which says DANGER instead a nice calm and collected green.

Small Stakes interview

Interview with Jason Munn of The Small Stakes whose work I think is wonderful!

Wowee

'Silent World' by Michael Kenna. These photographs are amazing!




They have such a dreamlike quality to them, such as the ones in the forest, then the photographs showing the towers seem to turn into nightmares. The contrast in the two tones is also really something, I can't imagine them working so effectively with colour.
