Birdies

Have taken an interest in stylised bird illustrations ever since drawing the creatures in the trees on the St John wall. This picture f-f-f-found at FFFFOUND!

We be the judge

This year, I am most excited to have been invited to sit on the judging panel for the DIA (Design Institute of Australia) GOTYA (Graduate of the Year) awards. I love seeing the work produced by wide eyed, passionate students: I always find it really inspiring to see their fresh creativity, and interesting to see what trends are working their way through design schools.

Water for Elephants

This book was the last one we read last year and was enjoyed by all. It's the story of a young Polish man, Jacob Jankowski, who after short series of unforeseen tragic events, finds himself working for the circus. Being a veterinarian student, he works with the animals and makes himself two particularly special friends: Rosie the elephant and Marlena, the prettiest girl he's ever seen. Marlena also happens to be the wife of the header trainer, August.

I watched the recently released film version of this story after reading the book and it was just as spectacular. Both book and movie come recommended from Team Boheem. Next book: Catcher in the Rye.

Typeface

Think I'd like to see this film. I don't think this is the official poster, but it's nice eh? Check out the trailer on youtube.

Cut it out

Kicking off 2012 with a focus on a charming little design studio in the UK. Cut It Out has a great online shop with limited edition prints of hand-made collages and what not.
