The poster for this year’s Soul Revue at Festsaal Kreuzberg, Berlin, is pretty hip. Last year’s is also worth a look.

Pirating vinyl – hard work, pretty pointless, but tres cool nonetheless.

There’s some striking album artwork on the Creative Review Blog. This vibrant, almost eye-watering design for Chris Coco’s album is particularly nice, even if his music is absolutely shit.

3D-Dot-Game-Heroes-1

We’ve just launched a cool Flash application that uses Papervision3D to create a simple yet fun 3D modelling environment.

Developed for games publisher SouthPeak Interactive’s upcoming launch of 3D Dot Game Heroes™ on PlayStation®3, the tool has been spectacularly well received by the games’ fans and has led to over 2,000 designs being created and saved in the first 24 hours alone!

So why not plumb the depths of your imagination and create your very own original 3D gaming sprite. Or, if you’re old enough to look back in fondness at the old Atari and NES games of yesteryear, try recreating your favourite 8-bit game character in 3D instead. Go on, try it!

I’d kill a puppy to own this poster, it’s so very, very lovely. A fantastic piece of work by the legendary graphic designer Milton Glaser.

If you’re unfamiliar with Dave or The Count, go hide in a dark room for a while and punch yourself in the face repeatedly, then go buy some records, philistine.

Steve McQueen = cool as fuck. Cooler than an eskimo bumming a penguin in the UK’s largest branch of Iceland, whilst supping on a Mr Frosty. We’re talking ice cold. He would have been 80 this week, and, to commemorate the occasion, Jalopnik have published a nice little article.

I’ve always been a fan of the graffiti-covered walls you see in pretty much any rehearsal studio worth its salt. The legendary Enterprise Studios on Denmark Street is decorated with some choice artwork (note the smoking penis in the above photo). I couldn’t help but take a photo…
