The Dulux Own a Colour website is a great concept, well executed (a rare sight these days!). It’s all for a good cause too, so Everyone’s a Winner. The fact that they’ve managed to spell the word colour properly is also a Brucie Bonus.

Have some spare electrical tape to hand? You could do worse than emulate this extreme home interior, one of a set featured in the New York Times Magazine.

I’m often inclined to pour scorn over things like this, but I’m genuinely impressed by the application process for Carsonified’s job vacancy. If nothing else, the digital industry is an absolute meritocracy – what better way to highlight the fact? We follow the same philosophy here: if you can demonstrate your ability to do the job, and have average-or-better personal hygiene, your qualifications, criminal record, height, shoe size etc. are immaterial.

Jock designer Linzie Hunter’s portfolio boasts a wealth of beautiful illustration and hand lettering. Her broad client base includes a host of household names including The Guardian, Orange, Nike and Sainsbury’s.

Her illustration for World Poker Tour magazine, above, almost makes me hanker for a game of poker myself.

Is the anything hipper than a gorilla in a suit? Possibly not, but this owl sporting a monocle, hat and fetching moustache comes a close second. There’s more nice stuff in this Etsy store too.

It breaks my heart to hear that the legendary Sylvester Stewart, better known as Sly Stone, is living out of a caravan in Los Angeles.

Sly – in the unlikely event that you read this – my spare room is yours any time, in the unlikely event that you fancy Eltham in south east London in preference to LA.
