Golden Arrow

How beautiful is this arrow necklace by Erin Graves? Amazing. I'm currently slightly obsessed with arrows at the moment, not too sure why! Check out the rest of the products at this Etsy store, filled with other lovely sparkly things. First saw this at the always-awesome Lucky Pony.

Holding thumbs for one of these in the near future!

Took these this evening, while walking around my neighbourhood, gathering reference for this year's big research project. Just love the colours.

hello again!

Hello! So I've been neglecting this blog again. Things have been so crazy busy lately I've hardly had time to breathe, but it's been a great couple of weeks, busy in the "good-busy" kind of way!

I have a bunch of cool things to paste up here, but in the meantime here are a bunch of douchey-looking guys wearing some pretty sweet jerseys! Wish I knew how to knit properly...

How cool is this colourful paper mobile? Would love one for my home studio!
Found over on As Ink Remains.

Two Door Cinema Club

Some photos from last weekend's madness. I was super lucky and won two tickets to see Two Door Cinema Club live, at the 5 Gum concert in Philippi. Amazing venue, awesome music, wonderful night!

StudioPod visual identity

An exciting brief for the first project of my BTech course. Our class was approached by the client, who designs modular housing units that have been made from reclaimed shipping containers.

The client was looking for a new target audience and visual direction, so I came up with this concept.

Due to their interesting design, clever use of materials, modern finishes and clean simple spaces, these modular units would make great work-spaces. Combine this with the fact that the Modupod can be built practically anywhere and leaves hardly any impact or scarring on the land, and you have the perfect solution for an outdoor office, studio or exhibition space.

A modular unit (or cluster of units) will be set up within the forest and marketed as “creative space for rent". Rentals will only be on a short-term basis, allowing more individuals to experience this unique concept. This would be perfect for people who are in-between leases and are looking for a new but temporary location, or those who simply need a fresh perspective and a break from the city.

I'm in love with these silkscreen and gouache portraits by William Hatch Crosby.
Found via the always-awesome Lucky Pony.

white ink

Take a look at this clever use of designers colour and rubber stamps by Eva Black Design. I think I'm going to give it a try, but with other colours as well...

and the work keeps on coming...

These books weigh more than a small child and have about 100 000 pages between them. I need to read through all of them before the weekend. So right now, I'm feeling slightly terrified...

the creative process

This cartoon by Matthieu Barrère made me smile to myself. It's so easy to head straight for the internet instead of doing things properly from the start.

Found this piece of wisdom over here.

ultimate storage

How amazing is this? mini shipping containers that make the perfect desk organisers.
Found this randomly while researching the use of shipping containers as offices (for our first live project of BTech)...

These little containers come from an online store called Cool Material - definitely worth checking out the rest of their stock, especially if you live overseas and have a fat credit card.

good advice

just a little thought for a friday
