I love Bob Kolar – he’s possibly my favourite illustrator, in no small part due to Big Kicks . Nice work Bob, nice work!
I’d have cast someone much more evil-looking to play the pope, but it’s a nice ad nonetheless .
Red-hot, vintage calculator pornography .
My latest acquisition, a mounted badger’s head, looks wonderful on my lounge wall.
Digging the new photos on Miles’ official site.
I haven’t encountered Don Brun before, and his death a decade ago would have had a serious impact on his creative output, but his back catalogue is tastier than an Eddie Murphy sandwich.
Today we discovered Bottom & Co’s “Do A Funky Thing Together” from the album “Rock Bottom”. By jove, it’s a motherfucker, you should track it down A to the S to the A to the P.
Bing Crosby was such a dude, they named a search engine after him. His gorgeous 1966 Aston Martin DB5 is up for auction , a car I’d happily trade for my 1994 XJS.
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.
I’m going through something of a stag phase at the moment. Don’t be alarmed, it’s entirely natural, even healthy some might say.
The Nate Bear Art website has been updated. I have a tremendous amount of time for any illustrator happy to use the term “sucks balls” in his work.
I like Umbro’s new campaign , really, I do, but I can’t see it encouraging pimply youths to buy football boots.
Nice illustration work on Flickr from some obscure Russian chap. Bravo I say.
Pointless and fun, like most things online, the mini-paper-moog is the perfect desk adornment if you can find a cheeky 10 minutes to make it.
Mr Old Spice just gets better and better .
Who would argue with the suggestion that everything is better with a gorilla ?
Circuit Bent Furby by Ormin Factory is a curious beast indeed, half toy, half sound generation unit.
Topical stencilling at Wooster . I’ll wager a pound to a penny that this will be coming to a T-shirt near you very soon.
The unnecessary italicised text at the head of the page is upsetting, but Studio David Hillman’s Olympic stamps more than make up for it.
Illustrator Jan Feliks Kallwejt’s portfolio has plenty of nice work in, with the added bonus of profligate use of the letters x, w and y, owing to his Polish background.
A wonderful concept for retro-themed shelving, available here .
Taxidermy is hip, but far from child friendly. … Etsy to the rescue …
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.
Cooler than an eskimo bumming a penguin in the UK’s largest branch of Iceland, whilst supping on a Mr Frosty. … He would have been 80 this week, and, to commemorate the occasion, Jalopnik have published a nice little article .
Nina Maria Kleivan’s photos of her daughter dressed as various dictators are as compelling as they are shocking.
My daughter’s first painting, Untitled #1, is a sophisticated exploration of colour, with bold, confident brushwork and clever use of negative space. Or something like that…
