Dima Rebus

Umm. Wow. Amazing, unsettling, beautiful watercolour work by 24 year old small town russian. Check out more of his work here.

Call Parade - Brazil

What happens when you give 100 phone booths to 100 artists in Brazil? You get amazing!
From beautiful to bizarre. Strange to surreal. Sponsored by Brazilian telecommunications company Vivo, this is a fantastic public art project that could easily be done in many countries in many formats.

To see the full 100 booths check them out here.

Luxury

Doing a reno? Got a spare $15,000 for a bath? Yes? You should definately get ones of these copper baths. Truely amazing. I can only imagine how nicely it would age too. In 10 years time with a nice verdigris edging. Nice.
I have put a few other images of my most liked products, the porthole bath, super cool for kids, or adults. The cast iron cistern toilet is amazing. I'd love to have one of these. Plus they even sell old fashioned thunder boxes, who would have thought.

Check them out here: The Water Monopoly

Letterpress

Lovely, textured letterpress. Check out the video of the process by Mr Colt Bowden. Makes me want to clear a space under the house & get pressing those letters. Though if I did everything I had a want for then we would have no room in the house, or no house.
Anyway, check it out here: http://vimeo.com/35937251

Wonderwall

How exciting, interior design firm Wonderwall have done some truly beautiful work. I really dig the Godvia Chocosite in Harajuku, the roof and the walls. Yum. A Bathing Ape store, the Ice Cream Store in Hong Kong photos are great. I went to the NYC store & this is very similar. I would love one of those couches for Ivy's room.
They have a great website interface too. Definitely check them out!

Garden in the sun


Happy Fathers Day to me. I got the grand haul this weekend. Lovely day with my Wife, Daughter & Pug.
Plus I scored all these plants for an excellent price. 2 x Nikau's, 27+ adult Ligularias & a 3.5m Brazilian Tree Fern. All for $100.

Anyway, all are planted & fingers crossed they stay happy. Might just have to install a watering system now...

Arran Gregory

Fantastic polygon mirror sculptures. These are amazing. I would love the rhino head at my place, would look excellent. I wonder how these are made, would be into seeing a construction video.

Check out some of his latest exhibition work here. & this is his website: http://www.arrangregory.com/

Strings and nails

Great typography/text work by Martin Pyper here.

Some serious dedication/spare time going on with excellent results. I'd love to see a full shop signage made like this. Or maybe a centrepiece behind a counter. Hmmmm...

Time flies

I can't believe that it has been this long between posts. My how things have changed.
Between having a house requiring mass DIY, a super cool pug, a baby girl, a high maintenance garden, a lovely wife and a sapping job, my blog has taken a back seat. I feel that now the focus will change slightly, as I have changed obviously.
