Skulls & Bones
3rd September 2010
I ♥ skulls. I think it’s a result of when we were in Mexico. Next week I think I’ll have a week of skulls…
This beautiful shot is by photographer Jay Harrison. The one underneath is a snap I took at Sculptures By The Sea in Bondi last year as well. Maybe I should’ve gone back at sunset…

Martín Satí GraphicWorkshop
2nd September 2010
Martín Satí is an amazingly talented illustrator and designer from Spain. His graphics are complex and beautiful and make me want to be a better designer.
I’d love to see what they’d look like lazer cut, like Claudia Ongaro mandala in yellow.
The Wilderness Downtown
2nd September 2010
The Wilderness Downtown is an interactive interpretation of Arcade Fire’s new song We Used to Wait.
Directed by Chris Milk this cool little film uses custom rendered Google maps, choreographed pop up windows and a beautiful flock of digital birds to create your own version of the music video. Add in your hometown, write a postcard to yourself back then and watch the letters grow. The wilderness will do the rest…
R.I.P. Corinne Day
31st August 2010
After a weekend away with no phones or computers I was so sad to read this morning that Corinne Day passed away last Friday.
I was about 12 years old when I first discovered something called fashion, and that there was a world where all the beautiful girls had their photos taken by cool photographers and looked wild and pretty and exciting. I loved it and it was all because of Corinne Day. She was always my favourite photographer and because of her I fell in love with Kate Moss and London and Vogue.
Her photography has influenced, inspired and launched a thousand careers and she’ll always be remembered through her beautiful, grungy fashion photographs.
Adam Hill
20th August 2010
A sunny Cape Town Friday inspired me to post these. Capetonian Adam Hill makes wicked posters. Posters for bands, posters for gigs, posters for clubs. I’m on the lookout for one stuck to a wall somewhere so I can grab it! I especially liked these 2 – There’s something quite cool about birds in graphic design.

I love these Marimekko covered studio chairs by Inoui Design Collective…and these are just ones they use for their studio! Too cool and such a beautiful change to your average office chair…
One day, one day!
