What a beautiful idea this is. The Design Auction was set up by some tutors and students of Lincoln School of Art & Design back in 2007 as a way to make some cash for their third year graphic design end of year degree show. A few phone-calls and emails later and the great & good of the design world were offering them rare and beautiful bits and pieces of loveliness and gorgousnessness. It’s a simply brilliant idea, a great website and a showcase of some truly ground-breaking bits of design. So grab yer’ mouse, a cup of tea and a pack of Digestives and enjoy…

If there’s one thing I hate more than anything else (well, that’s not strictly true as I hate most things, but y’get what I mean) it’s animals in clothing. For me, there’s just no need to dress your pet up like a fool; cats in hats, dogs in coats, canary’s in toupees and fake beak hair…madness. If the good Lord had intended Spot to wear a Hugo Boss suit he’d have made Hugo Boss a dog and canines would rule the world in an horrific re-visiting of Planet of the Apes, where over-sized poodles lead mangy human beings around parks on the end of twine and wait patiently while the whimpering homo-sapiens defecate in all the wrong places…

Floppy discs.
A thing of the past. Barely existing remnants of a bygone era. London artist Nick Gentry has turned his into art. I turned my old ones into coasters….
Shows how creative I am.
Perhaps you’ve spent the last several weeks with superglue in your ears and lying unconscious at the bottom of a mineshaft full of cotton wool – somewhere on Mars. If so, then you’re probably the only human left who hasn’t heard: Michael Jackson died.
The King of Pop’s final curtain-call came as a surprise to most of us, apart, it seems, from the tribute documentary makers who, within 12 minutes of the shaky LA ambulance videos being aired, had rustled up enough memorial TV reminisces to fill a couple of weeks worth of broadcasting…

I love to see the creativity of outdoor media. Some of the most intelligent and inspiring work I have seen has been clever outdoor.
And then I found this which adds humour into the mix. Pure class.
Take part in our fun summer survey.
Rather than running some serious survey we thought we’d have a bit of fun and ask: ‘What’s the best thing since sliced bread?’
Read the comments below to see what the team at Offshore International think, then add your quick fire response.
The best answer, in our opinion, gets a loaf of the finest white (or brown) plus a treat delivered direct to their breakfast table, wherever they may be in the world.
I’ll start things off…Google.

I think this is genius. Sara Watson, a Bristol art student, set out to make her car invisible by camouflaging it in to the surroundings. What looks like some clever Photoshop work actually took three weeks of painstaking, real-world painting – amazing…
