Well, there I was the other day, minding my own business, wandering around Glebe Markets when I stumbled across Das Monk who have some of the freshest tee designs I’ve seen in a long time.

Pingmag – No More

Pingmag

It’s a sad day when decent design blogs die and Pingmag was one of the best of them. Brilliantly written stories covering the fields of art, design, architecture, fashion and many other categories all with a Japanese twist were what made Pingmag so special. Hopefully the site stays up so you can browse the archives (which I highly suggest doing). Farewell Pingmag.

Cuprocking
