Check out ‘Courtship’ a new limited edition print by the always awesome Kozyndan. If you fancy some cool new art, get your fix here.
CommentSky Series
10th January 2012
O.
That’s me with my mouth wide open in amazement at how unbelievable Eric Cahan’s Sky Series is. I have fallen completely and utterly in love with his sunrise and sunset shots.
The cool thing is that most of these amazing colours are captured using coloured resin filters, rather than in Photoshop, which Cahan says he uses only for toning the photos to match the paper colour and occasionally to add a bit of colour curve.

Taiyō Matsumoto
10th January 2012
Here’s a poster by super cool manga artist Taiyō Matsumoto to brighten your Tuesday morning…
…and if you haven’t seen it already Tekkonkinkreet - based on Matsumoto’s manga by the same name is well worth a watch.
Alexander Girard
9th January 2012
A couple of months ago I signed up to Fab.com. They feature and sell all kinds of awesome things. They do daily updates of products from prints and furniture to clothing, jewellery and homeware. I love this Alexander Girard print on wood. Love. Love.

Zander Olsen
6th January 2012
Zander Olsen creates amazing photographs. The top image is part of his Tree, Line series. Clever, simple and beautiful – the perfect combination.
“These works, carried out in Surrey, Hampshire and Wales, involve site specific interventions in the landscape, ‘wrapping’ trees with white material to construct a visual relationship between tree, not-tree and the line of horizon according to the camera’s viewpoint.”
They reminded me of Andy Goldsworthy, one of my all time favourite sculptors and artists. The bottom pebble image is one of his.

Jordan Metcalf
22nd December 2011
Sigh. I spent a good 20 minutes looking through Cape Town based designer Jordan Metcalf‘s site this morning and I am completely in love with this lightbox he made for a group exhibition at Salon 91.
I want it on my wall. Please.
BLANK {space}
22nd December 2011
The other day I discovered BLANK {space} – an sweet little store-cum-gallery that is literally on my doorstep. It’s tiny and hidden away behind big black grills, but inside it’s light and pretty and full of gorgeous letterpress stationary *sigh*, unique prints and limited edition works of art.
Another awesome Cape Town find. Yay!
Alistair McClymont Studio
21st December 2011
Here is the extremely talented Alistair McClymont’s most recent offering – a water droplet hovering above a vertical wind tunnel.
Gorgeous.
Playful / Pablo Alfieri
19th December 2011
Whenever I see new work by Pablo Alfieri I can’t help but sigh. It’s so beautiful and I’m always inspired by what he produces. His ideas are quite simple on the whole but he executes them in such a polished way. Colourful, bright and bold and usually with a little twist. Amazing.
Check out more of the Argentinian designer’s work on flickr.
Sarah Frost
16th December 2011
Have you ever seen a wall made up of keyboard keys? No? Well neither had I until now and how beautiful does it look?
Debris, QWERTY by Sarah Frost was on at PPOW Gallery in New York early this year, and you can check out more of her work here.
Cartoloji
1st December 2011
These maps by Cartoloji are interesting. I thought they looked a lot like camouflage. Did you guess that was Australia at the top and South Africa on the bottom?
They’re available in a wide range of countries, colours, sizes and 10% of each sale goes to the country that was bought through GlobalGiving.

Sketchtravel
30th November 2011
I never heard about Sketchtravel before, but after reading about it this morning I fell completely in love with the project.
The red sketchbook was passed between 71 artists in 12 countries over 4 and a half years. The list of artists and illustrators is impressive (Quentin Blake, James Jean, Taiyō Matsumoto to name a few) but it’s the idea that this little book was travelling for all that time that makes me smile – and that they managed to auction it off for $96,000, all of which was donated to Room to Read, a awesome charity that helps kids learn to read. Sold.
The beautiful video was put together by Sketchtravel and is totally inspiring and well worth a watch.
You can read more about Sketchtravel here or buy the book from here (which has just been added to the top of my christmas list).
