On the 18th September, me and Rachel P from Tea & Crayons held our Postcard making workshop at the Domestic Sluts Paper & Penmanship Event, in conjunction with Homemade London! Beforehand, we both got involved in the Homemade London bookbinding workshop – so much fun! and so easy to do. Our finished books! So on...

It’s no lie that I am ridiculously excited about Tron: Legacy. It’s a bit of a childhood memories thing (Ok I wasn’t born when it came out in 1982) but I watched it when I was younger and loved it. Considering the time, it was a huge technological/cinematic breakthrough. And the story is immense. Let’s...

This is a bit of a curious one; it seems the rejection of bling has begun, and celebrities and artists alike are embracing the new way to do black: Matte. Shiny is gone and everyone wants their black understated, expensive and mysterious looking. First white was cool (remember the PCs of the mid 90s? Slightly...

An interesting thing happened today. Someone who we can only presume as Banksy (although no proof has been given) seemed to have hijacked The Cool Hunter’s twitter feed. I didn’t notice at first, until I saw some tweets come up from ‘BANKSYartist’ and realised that I don’t remember seeing Banksy tweet before, or even remember...

Back in the depths of July I went to the Ben & Jerry’s Sundae Festival on Clapham Common – see what I thought about it here. Basically, it was an awesome day out and I loved it – not just because of the cows and the free icecream. Although that helped. Well I was emailed...

On friday night, I went out with the girls from work for one of their birthdays, and it was suggested we check out this bar called Trailer Happiness in Notting Hill. One look at their website and we knew it sounded amazing: “Trailer H is a retro-sexual haven of cosmopolitan kitsch and faded trailer park...

If you don’t know Fifi Lapin, then you’re missing out; she’s a super stylish, super illustrated, furry fashionista! She’s got her own blog where she draws what she’s been wearing (usually some kind of amazing designer concoction), and now she’s got a book coming out featuring all her amazing outfit illustrations. Fifi wears Luis Vuitton,...

Another great discovery through Trendland; who knew cuckoo clocks could be so amazing? These are by Stefan Strumbel, who has moved from graffiti art to objects like these cuckoo clocks and traditional masks; relics and reminders of his home in the Black Forest, objects from folk art that refer to the clichéd notions of home,...

Fashionindie.com is a great site for finds like this, and what a find it is. I love fashion illustration, more than any other form of illustration I think, but it’s strange; I rarely, if ever, do it. I’m an illustrator, a (sometimes) fashion blogger, I work as a graphic designer at a fashion company (Yumi...

Just spotted this on the @Motelrocks website and love the concept. Motel have decided to do a Vintage range with a difference – firstly, (and quite rightly) there is only one of each garment – they are motel modern shapes, but in reclaimed and reused old vintage fabrics. Secondly, the prices don’t stay static –...

Click to enlarge. Central Station have teamed up with the NVA Glasgow Harvest festival, for an upcoming publication which is part of an ongoing project from NVA, culminating in The Harvest Festival on Sat 28th August in Tramway’s Hidden Gardens. The project aims to educate and encourage people to grow their own food, whether that be in...
