All I want for Christmas is a butterfly…

Butterflies

So not being able to stretch to 4 grand for a Damian Hirst butterfly print, inspired me to look for a more affordable version. These are just the job from Rocket St. George… the blue one is called “Papilio Ulysses Telegonus“. I know someone who might who might quite like that Mr. Ulysses.

The “beautiful” Souls

The Souls

I wouldn’t say I am a fan of Damian Hirst, but I am a fan of foil blocking and butterflies… so therefore his work The Souls is ticking lots of my boxes. Several different layers of printing and blocking to create 15 individual works of stunning colour and texture. Then add the title “The Souls” and the theory around beauty and death and you’re reminded way Damian Hirst can be so good.

Refreshing approach at Knock Knock

Breakup Recover Kit

Refreshing approach to stationery and gifts at KnockKnock. Particular like the Personal Library Kit and the Breakup Recovery Kit. Can imagine many a teenage girl wearing the “heartbroken” bracelet with pride.

I’m Still Here

I'm Still Here

Some what belatedly we watched I’m Still Here last night. As a “hoax” I think it’s a pretty creative concept, building a film around what’s real and what isn’t and what happens if you “play” with your role in the media. If it was real, then it would have made pretty sad watching…. not that this film is by any means a hoot. Anyway. Wicked film poster. I think this kind of typography is brave, bit like the film.

Boarding Pass / Fail

Boarding pass

My degree was in Graphic Information Design, so nice to stumble across this boarding pass project where designers have had a bash at re-thinking the standard old boarding pass. Pretty tidy stuff.

Birds, birds, birds

I’m getting increasingly obsessed with foil printing and I’ve always loved birds since I was a nipper. Especially the common garden sort, so these cards by Paul Farrell are right up my street. He has a website with lots of other bright stuff, but I get mine from ARTWORDS in Hoxton.

Al Murphy print

This is one of my favourite prints we have at home from illustrator Al Murphy. We’re all drawn to stuff with humour, rather than just the usable or beautiful and this made me laugh out loud when I first saw it!

Designer: Kyle Poff

Some elegant stuff coming from Kyle Poff, especially liking the FIVE brand and the wine packaging. Good work.
