Creators Inn

What better place to stay while in Stockholm than the Creators Inn. Plus you can stay for free if you are creative... How bizzare. I'm sure that there is a long, long, long list of people wanting to stay here already. Super cool. View a few more pics here. And visit their website here.

Coffee Cup Art

Excellent drawings onto styrofoam coffee cups. By Boy Obsolete. Such an original idea, it would look so great to have a shelf along a whole wall with these lined up. Fantastic. I can imagine that it is quite a challenge drawing onto these cups too, very soft and unforgiving. View lots more here.

TasteSpotting

Great site here from Jean Aw, the maker of NotCot. So for all you foodies and food inspired folk out there, this will most likely become your next source of food related inspiration. Enjoy & indulge here.

Fundies?

Anyone for the ultimate in fun filled, action packed underwear to date? Well, Fundies is where it's at. Strangely enough I stumbled across this by doing a google search for a fried chicken box. Not too sure how this relates... Maybe you could throw some chicken in there, could be kind of like playing hot potato.

Go Blaine Fontana!

One of my favourite artists, Blaine Fontana has branched out and done something special. I have been seeing some of his wood working projects take shape over the past few months, and he has released this tiny little photo of his latest. I love the colour over wood grain and little trees are super super cool. I'd simply love to have this on my wall. I'm very jealous. If you can find out anymore information about these pieces, please let me know.

Wicked, the London Bape store has had an overhaul. I wish I was in London right now, I'd be right there soaking it all up, loving the shoe display especially, so clean and fantastic lighting. I'm jealous. Time for Bape NZ I think. View a couple more photos here.

Oh how much I want you...


Oh, to see a toy that makes me hurt so much inside, I know the likelyhood of me ever owning this is so so slim... Being released in very limited numbers, only as the San Diego Comic Convention... So not fair, this is guaranteed to be appearing on ebay shortly after the release for mega inflated prices that I will not pay out of principle. Oh how I wish I was going to SD.

On the upside, it's great to see some decent releases from Kidrobot, I've not been overly impressed with what has been coming out of their toy factory as of late.
