The Little Printer is oh-so-pretty. It would grace any home, desk, toilet, airport lounge… you name it. Reading the news on a till receipt is definitely the future. I for one will be binning my iPad and iPhone as soon as I get home.

I discovered the wonderful work of Kozo Kakimoto yesterday in a second-hand bookstore. It’s a shame there’s so little of his work online – Mr Bear’s various adventures are well worth seeking out.

Benetton’s campaign for the UNHATE Foundation presses all the right non-nuclear buttons, even if it is unoriginal. It’s a shame that they withdrew the picture of the Nazi Pope’s inter-faith love-in, but they’ve yet to drop the picture that puts further pressure on Israel to bring an end to apartheid.

As well as being a very talented illustrator, Eric Barclay is also a dab hand at transforming mundane, everyday items into works of art, such as this Nescafe jar. High fives Eric – digging your work!

Brian Flynn’s Imperial Forces Wallpaper is appealing as it is hideously overpriced. Brian – send me some free rolls and I’ll put this in my hallway.

A run-of-the-mill, nothing to write home about interior, with the exception of the lovely typographic print behind the sofa. Via Apartment Therapy.

I love this rug. I want this rug. It seems appropriate that it’s designed by someone with a suitably excellent name – Sonya Winner. Who knew names could be so excellent? Sonya – I salute you!

Listening to the soundtrack of In The Heat Of The Night today reminded me how good the original poster artwork is.
