Leonardo Rodriguez
I‘m blown away Leonardo’s work, full of painstaking detail and humour, I’m going to spend the rest of this evening painting with watercolours now :) He’s a freelance Illustrator from Barcelona, portfolio here and blog here.
Bureau of Communication
Here’s a fun little site, the Bureau of Communication has a load of ‘fill in blank’ stationary for everday correspondence. Everything from Formal Apology to Declaration of Romantic Intent, their easy-to-use forms will ensure that your message is clearly conveyed.
Garamond Powerlines
Interesting type experiment created out of a bunch of electricity pylon and powerline photographs. By a guy called Daniel, the rest of his work can be found here.

Phil Dobinson
My mate Phil has just uploaded his sketchbook of a trip to New Zealand to his Flickr. Lovely stuff, makes me feel guilty for not drawing more on my trip… You can see all his sketchbook travels here.

I’m Looking for Work
I‘ve been haemorrhaging money for the past 6 months, it’s about time I got a job again! So if you are in need of any design or illustration help then lets team up! I’m interested in hearing about fulltime or freelance work, but to be honest I only really want to work within walking distance of Shoreditch or from home, can’t stand the commute!
I’ve worked in a variety of roles in the digital industry for the past 10 years, I’d like to think there’s not much I don’t know about all aspects of web design, advertising and marketing. That doesn’t mean to say I only do online, I’d say I specialise in all kinds of visual & creative stuff. I’m not the sort of person that likes to work on concepts that are nailed down already or follow strict design guidelines, but I am the sort of person that likes to live and breathe a project and invest and good amount of myself into it. I feel my work is a bit like a performance and you’re only as good as your last show, I try to wring the very best out of myself each time.
• You can see examples of my Illustration work here.
• There’s some examples of Design work here.
Well if you think you might have some work for me, I’m available as of now, please get in touch at: cookie {at} made-in-england.org
Safe for work Porn
This is probably old news but I’ve been in the wilderness the past 6 months, so it’s new and impossibly hilarious to me! First off I can’t believe I haven’t seen this Safe for work Porn website before, it’s genius. Diesel has taken the concept and made this video for their 30th birthday party, love it.

3D piggy puzzle
There’s something quite comical and cute about these biological cross section 3D puzzle things. Shame they’re so small, there’d be awesome fullsize. You can get a whole load of different animals though, from snails to mammoths at kinderland.

Jesse Ledoux
Jesse Ledoux, formally art director for Seattle-based Sub Pop Records, now a freelance illustrator. Some great work, I especially like these watercolour blob characters.
