BiC® Cristal® http://www.challengebic.co.uk unveils the results of a challenge to artist James Mylne, to recreate a well known masterpiece using just one BiC® Cristal® pen. The reproduction of The Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer, took artist James approx 90 hours to complete, but thanks to its long writing length and oil based ink, just a single pen was needed to finish the work.
…and I suppose maybe one for the guys too? But definately a bit of Julian Casablancas for the ladies.
Hello, you are a babe.
Jason Munn is originally from Wisconsin but now calls Oakland, California home. Arising from a love of independent music, design, and making for the sake of making, his posters soon became a fixture in the local independent music scene.
He started The Small Stakes in the fall of 2003, and it has since unfolded into a successful independent design studio, producing nationally and internationally commissioned work in a range of print materials, including book covers, album packaging, T-shirt designs, screen-printed posters, and illustrations.
I would just like to express how hard it was to only choose 4 posters to blog, these were shortlisted from a list of 13, which were shortlisted from a list of 21. Yes, that hard. And they’re all screenprinted. This guy has most definately got the skillzzz.

“Tilt-shift photography” refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniture scene.
Sooo, I just looked into buying a Tilt-Shift lense myself, and why helloo, at £900 a pop I’ll have to think about it. Maybe next month.
Most people do what on a Friday night? Go out?? Nah mate, we at these peöple are all about home economics. Crack out the iron and get gliding away…
All in preparation for our stall at Free Tea tomorrow, woop woop.
Right team, so an opportunity has come up to maybe potentially design some tshirts for an online tshirt store. ‘We Own The Night’ , are a newly running, UK based tshirt company, with the likes of Annie Mac sporting their shirts.
Here’s what we need to do:
Basically, they’re looking for a 2 colour design, which will then be put on to a batch of primarilly 50 tshirts. If they’re any good we’ll get a tshirt each and potentially some dollar, our name will also be credited on the site. They liked the look of the ‘Died Young Stayed Pretty’ posters, so something with that kind of feel.
There’s already some hype about their shirts on various music forums including Erol Alkan’s… so this could be a good opportunity!
Let’s get to it, woo hoo.

Cup of tea, a paper, pyjamas, and the above playing, mmmmmm.
