These are ridiculously awesome, bicycles fitted with massive sound systems. Article here and gallery here. I’m afraid I can’t remember where I saw this so sorry for nicking it!

This is something I think Alan Fletcher would be proud of, a bench made of 1600 pencils that can all be removed for use. Via Boing Boing

There has been a distinct lack of posts of my own work for a while so here are some images from a series I’m working on at the moment.

A fantastic thing, hang it on any empty wall and it makes it look like you have a blind with sunlight streaming through it. Operate it like a normal blind to change the level of light! Via Swiss Miss

I have nine illustrations about the Madeleine McCann case in the next issue of Bad Idea magazine, i’ll post them up once it goes to press, but if you want to see how they’re meant to look then go out and buy it!

Wouldn’t you just love to see someone run some ink over that and make a print? (It’s not letterpress really of course, it’s “just” the front of a car park).
