The other night I stumbled across this nice resource: thisisdisplay.org a collection / shop of mid 20th century graphic design books and periodicals. I got the images from there. xxxx

Art by Design 6

Here's a group exhibition I'm in at Kinokuniya books in the city. The artwork I put in it is a revamp of the poster I recently did (post below). There's a larger image here. The show is on from the 17th October to the 13th November and organised by Naomi Solomon from happyend designs. Thanks Naomi xxxx.

Digital lace

Here are some 3D works I made for a recent competition submission. Sometime in the near future they should exist as silk scarves. Larger versions of the images here. xxxx

Some new work things

Here's a CD cover I did recently: Tim Rollinson, You Tunes. Also some patterns I did a while ago have been published in this book: Estampados Padroes, by Spanish publishing house Mao Mao. xxxx

Paul Schuitema book

Here's some images from a book I got on the holidays: Paul Schuitema - Visual Organiser, and a link to it's review by Eye magazine. xxxx

Nice artist and a colourful graphic

Above is a hibiscus graphic I'm drawing inbetween jobs, and below is a painting by Gina Ruggeri, found via Commmunity Bulletin. xxxx

Nice Cards and a library of old books

My friend Anna has started making clever, handpainted gift cards called 'Cards for complicated people' which are available on Etsy (images above). I also found a good graphics resource of historical book covers and design examples at Photobibliothek. The pics below have been sourced from there. xxxx

Posters

Here's a couple of great posters I found looking through both Balladora and manystuff. I'll put more specific details about who did them asap. xxxx

Colourful times in BKK

Lots of fun at Reflections hotel in Bangkok. (see post below). xxxx

Market Stall, Thai fashion and some zines

Next Saturday I'm gonna do a market stall at Glebe, selling clothes from Hey Pilgrim, a Bangkok streetwear label I found a while back. I'll also sell second-hand clothes, and if I get time to finish them, some zines I've been making. My friend Anna is gonna do the stall with me selling handmade cards.

The clothing images above are from Hey Pilgrim (you can see more on their website). And the images below are the cover of a zine I'm making about plant cuttings and a previous zine that I'll convert to black and white (and perhaps spot red). xxxx

Eric Nitsche's Flickr Set

Via AceJet 170 I found this beautiful Flickr Set by Eric Nitsche. Above are a couple of my favourite images from there. xxxx

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year

Hope everyone has a great Xmas - and a lovely New Year too! I found these retro catalog images here. xxxx

Back from a long blogging break!

Almost a month off line - that's a record. Moving house, renovations, phone line problems etc etc. Here's a couple of pics for an upcoming exhibition about collective animal nouns. I chose ' a kaleidescope of butterflies' and my friend Anna did 'a tower of giraffes'. You can see a larger view of the butterflies here.

PLAY Comme des Garçons

I'm usually not one to buy a product based on it's logo, but I did make an exception the other day when I found one of these on sale. The above t-shirt has the logo for PLAY, Comme des Garçons on it. I found out via Sakato that Filippa Gowski, who did the artwork, has also done some textile prints for Comme des Garçons, as well as lots of other logo and print work. You can find the above t-shirts here. xxxx

More album sleves

Here's a couple more 7 inch record sleeves from the 70's found here. xxxx

Cool record sleves

Via Hi & Low I found about this incredible on-line library of record envelopes. I got so excited I did an image search for 'geometric record covers' which brought up the Vivaldi cover (below) which was posted at Grain Edit, a groovy blog that specialises in graphics from the 50's - 70's, and contemporary design that's influenced by that era. It's now on my list of daily reads. xxxx

More Triangles

These fantastic dresses were shown at Paris Fashion Week by Korean designer Lie Sang Bong. I found the images on the SMH website and the invitation via Lie Sang Bong's official site. xxxx

Triangles

Shoes by Cesare Paciotti and packaging design by Niels Fryst who I came across via Balladora Typographica. I found the shoes in a fashion mag. xxxx

Toko

I was doing an image search the other day and stumbled across Toko an amazing graphic design studio that began in Rotterdam, Netherlands and relocated to Sydney in 2006. They do really interesting work for clients such as City of Sydney, New York Times, MTV and Playstation. Here's a couple of images I got from their website. It's really worth looking around as there's heaps of great stuff there. They also do a blog called EnvironMental which is about site specific design and architecture. xxxx

Yurio Seki

I got this beautiful book called Yurio Seki, a graphic designer from Japan who also makes homewares and fashion objects under the company name Salvia. I've put some photographs of some of his beautiful bags up which I got from the Salvia website. xxxx
