When branding and design fits like a glove.

A large part of my art-making process consists of staring at objects that I find compelling. I find myself drawn to the physical presence of things. I’ve been staring at objects in this manner my whole life.

The Row Eyewear

With a handful of celebrities/actors trying to bite off more than they can chew when it comes to pumping out fashion lines, who would have known that the Olsen's would make it this far in the cut throat world of fashion? Then again, I wouldn't call their acting noteworthy so in this case fashion it's safe to say that fashion has always been their true calling. Based on these superb sunglasses, isn't it fortunate that they followed a different path?

P.S. I want them all.

McFancy

The question is, would you still eat it now that it looks this good?

Chillout Sessions XII

Chillout Sessions XII is an eclectic fusion of music during the 50s and 80s compiled by the Ministry of Sound Australia. The music pays homage to the lifestyle during that time period.

I don't have to listen to the music for me to be compelled to pick one up. If you knew me, I pretty much go bananas for anything miniature and this makes me want to do jumpy claps.

Sharon Montrose

The talented animal lover Sharon Montrose runs The Animal Print Shop, a place where you can purchase her adorable "toy story" like prints of such delightful creatures. I have a soft spot for her baby animal series. How cute is that baby deer? If you were to buy one, which animal would you choose?

no. 11

It isn't Halloween yet but I could be mistaken for one considering I have transformed myself into a greasy nerd monkey. I've been glued in front of the screen for the last 42 hours buried in CSS and PHP that I've forgotten (read: not bothered) to take a shower or let alone eat anything besides Mr. Noodles. It is now 1:28 AM and as much as I want to throw a steak on the grill right about now, I'm going to follow this poster's mantra instead.

Bas Princen

As if his work isn't already fit for a ruler, you can't deny his name isn't either.

See by Chloé

The unfathomable clogs situation is clomping its way back into the wardrobes of fashion aficionados everywhere but somehow not even Zara can make me jump the bandwagon that is until Chloé came along.
