Glennz Tees

Every so often one should take a moment and go have a peek at Glennz tees. I check it out very sporadically ( thankyou clueless!) but every time I come away from it wanting to show everyone all these clever illustrations. I can see why they work so well as tees, they're exactly the kind of things you have to share!


hehehehe.

DEN:

As the years rolled by Christopher’s priorities changed. He decided he’d like a rug in his den and a nice warm pair of slippers.


CASTAWAY


People have been searching for him for years, but he’s still waiting to be discovered.

Um. Yes please. thankyou

Subjective Measures

I dont wish to keep doing wishlist posts, I might lost control of them.
But i cant go past these spoons!
My kitchen is mostly vintage op-shoppy stuff, its all mismatch. so at first thinking of these spoons in my kitchen just wasn't working, so clean and shiny. But then i realised that doesn't even matter! they are the perfect mix of mismatch+clean+awesome!
 I love picturing them at dinner parties as serving spoons. then using them as my own personal dinner, dessert and tea spoons. just perfect.





Lara de Greef's (Netherlands) beautiful collection of products are just so unique, along with the beautifully designed website. I highly recommend you go look.






and i quote..."Using the rigid typology of spoons and measures as vague and subjective as 'a cup' and 'a teaspoon', Lara designed a playful line of spoons. The spoons vary in form and size and thereby are, at basis, highly differing. By using the same clay as material for the line as well as by usage of a similar glaze in a specified and recognizable color line, the line becomes one. This highly communicative series explores our experience of a series as well as our usage of measures while cooking."

Yellena James

For those of us who just enjoy finding a new artist to browse through, just to feed our eyes, this is exactly what you need, (as are all of my artist posts...hehe)
Yellena James
is something else.

I've had one of her drawings as my wallpaper on my phone for quite a while now, I found the image in my 'inspiration' folder, but I had never actually wrote down or saved who the artsist was! what a dill.
But since all this blogging business I've been slowly going through all my very old bookmarks, (and having marvelous fun) and there she was! I had to blog her right away!

When i'm working lots next year, Yellena James is definitely going on my wall. no. doubt.

Annual Report!

I recently finished this rather extended class brief, the Atelier Gallery annual report!
and boy! does it feel good to be finished!

here are a couple of spreads...




For this particular assignment i set it up as a two colour design, just so i could have a go at printing it on our risograph!
(which I certainly plan to tell you more about .. soon.)  These are some examples of the kind of qualities you get in the printing... i just love it! I know those photos arn't particularly good, sorry about that. But i do plan to do alot more risoposting. I hang out with my riso alot so its bound to pop-up left right and centre.
