Everyone loves stickers! Wallspankers is a free quarterly zine with hundreds of stickers that you can print off yourself. Issue four, the summer edition is out now. So go and grab yourself some free art to decorate your space with.
Bone Socks
Considering fashions continuing fixation with skulls and skeletons, these (anatomically correct) bone socks come from an unlikely source. All Heart is a supplier of medical gowns and uniforms and is also the place where these socks can be found. For the low low price of only $19.98 you too can show the inner workings of your body on the outside!
Readymech
Those of you who read Wired magazine may have already seen this but I think it’s worthy of a re-post. Readymech are a series of flat-pack cardboard toys ready for you to download and build for free. There are some really great designs there by artists such as Dro and Jules and the whole series is brought to you by the wonderful designers over at Fwis.
Surrealien: Warping Wallpaper
Fancy living inside a Dali painting? With this amazing warping wallpaper from Surrealien you can. Using technology that applies a grid to warp around the elements in your room they can produce this mind blowing effect. Just make sure you don’t eat any mushrooms before entering!
Candy Issue 8
Candy Issue 8 is out and it’s their second birthday! This issue is the no theme issue. Filled with goodness from Jeremyville, Tiffany Bozic, The Designers Republic among many others.
for those who are unfamiliar, check out our previous post here. Or from the official Candy website, this is what they have to say:
“CANDY is an independent venture developed to showcase exceptional creativity worldwide through original innovative formats.”
Go. Read. Enjoy.
Blog Action Day
So this is quite a good idea, Blog Action Day invites blogs worldwide to unite and blog about one important issue on October 15th, 2007. I think this is a great way to raise the profile of world issues and the reach of this could be phenomenal. With some big names in the blog world like lifehacker among others (it was a big damned list and I couldn’t be bothered scanning it all to find another big name blog, but they’re in there!) this has the potential to be very big. Needless to say this blog will be participating, and if any of you guys have blogs then it’d be cool if you did too!
Domestic
Domestic are a French company who create designer ‘wallpaper’ made from vinyl to create unique patterns for use in the home. These funky designs really break up the room and have the potential to create beautiful feature walls in any environment.
Last Exit To Nowhere
Being a bit of a film geek, Last Exit To Nowhere is awesome. As they say on their site:
“home to a collection of unique shirt designs which are inspired and pay homage to some of the most memorable places, corporations and companies in 20th century fiction – from the sunny shores of Amity Island (Jaws) to the frozen climes of Outpost #31 (The Thing).”
I especially love the Tyrell Corp & Weyland-Yutani (from Bladerunner & Aliens respectively, and shown above), which are two of my favourite movies ever.
Banksy vs Warhol
Damn, this is a treat. Two modern contemporary artists together in the same space, juxtaposed against and even imitating each other. Located in the Hospital Gallery in Covent Garden, London, this is what they have to say for themselves:
Campbell’s or Tesco? Grace Kelly, Muhammad Ali, Winston Churchill, Mick Jagger, Queen Elizabeth, The Beatles, Smiley Man police statue, Andy Warhol himself and others make for a potent cocktail of celebrity, satire and voyeurism. Upon contact opposing pictures are explosive for their contrast, even of the same subject.
Definitely one not too miss if you’re in Ye Olde London Towne. Check out Banksy vs Warhol…
Oslo Stil
In the same vein as Hel Looks (which we’ve covered previously) comes Oslo Stil, this time as the name suggests, showing street fashion from Norway. I’m undecided as to whether the Finnish or the Norwegian have the best dress sense so it’s easier just to say that these Scandinavians have style!
