Benny Goodman was a Smirnoff man, if the Vintage Ad Browser is to be believed. Either way, it’s a great resource.

City boy turned illustrator Simon Page is interviewed on Grain Feed. The interview itself is far from gripping, but his portfolio contains some pleasing experiments with geometry and type.

We’ve all experienced the anger and frustration of being stuck at what seems to be a never-ending red light. Mr Stankovic is eager to change the status quo.

Bloody hell, this is fantastic! I dread to think how long it took to create, but the end result is most definitely worth it.

Jorge Rodriguez Gerada must be a patient bloke. I mean, Christ, to paint something this big on the side of a building…

Berlin celebrates (or, in some cases, commiserates) the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. There’s loads of information on the official website, but the Berlin Twitter Wall is a fun spin-off idea that’s worth a look.
