Bear Hug

In need of a bear hug. Decided to head north for one...

Liberty

Liberty is one of my favourite shops, mainly because its like walking round an art gallery. Everything is displayed in a way that would make Mary Portas very happy. Not only are the way the items displayed absolute genius but the building is beautiful with wood panelling everywhere and lovely old windows and doorways. The only way this shopping experience could be improved? If they closed the shop for me...
These are some of the new prints they are doing collaborating with musicians like Florence Welch.

Genius....

Some marvellous stuff by Ben Braithwaite. Follow him on twitter @benjiham

Rare Love

Installation in Kent. Rare Love. A really clever idea because although the installation and it's surroundings aren't very beautiful the sentiment is. I'm an old romantic at heart...

Another marvellous illustrator

Found. Sketchbook magazine. Ali Pye.

'Somewhere in the Middle East of Nowhere'

Latest discovery from Creative review. Just read a life changing book...A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini. It's about the war in Afghanistan but written from the perspectives of two local Afghani women. Truly an incredible read. Not much more I can say apart from...read it.
