Lots of nice things going on over at SAUERKIDS, an artist duo based in Rotterdam. Love the Boggercar plush toy above, their paintings are amazing too, they’ve got a similar style to Brian Taylor (Candykiller).

Paintings in Progress
Thought I’d post a quick work in progress of what I’m up to at the moment, sorry the photos are shit… I’m currently in the middle of producing (with Nicky’s help too) a series of paintings to decorate the walls of Roome Consulting’s new office, they’re based on the work I did on Eleanor’s website. My bedroom is bursting at the seems with these 1 metre by 1 metre canvas’s, but they should look good, and very yellow!
Incidently a few people have asked me where I got the canvas’s from. I got they from Discount Art, who sell a box of 10 for £125 (reduced from £329) £12.50 each is pretty good value.
Animation Backgrounds
I’m in awe of the craftsmanship of animation background artists. Animation Backgrounds is a blog devoted to that art and I can’t get enough of it.
Friends With You
Friends With You are an art collective who make super cute installations like the rainbow valley above. Wow I wish I had a job like that.
Chris Gilmour
British sculpter Chris Gilmour make Bond cars out of cardboard and churches out condom boxes, I’m all for it.

The Pac Gentleman
Here at made in ENGLAND by Gentlemen I’m a big fan of all things ‘gentlemany’ is this Pac Gentleman custom model by Doktor A is definitely in that category. Just check out the taches on the ghost dudes, loving this.

Josh Keyes
Josh Keyes paints odd juxtapositions of urban-ness and nature, it’s surreal and beautiful.
Wilfrid Wood
Wilfrid Wood makes little comic sculptures which I like a lot. He’s a fellow east Londoner, learnt his trade on Spitting Image and he’s the guy who did Howies Fat Boy.

London Underground Posters
My mum and dad have this poster at home, it right out side my bedroom and I’ve always loved it. A friend just asked if I knew where she could get it, I did a quick search and it turns out it’s a London Transport Museum poster by Laura Knight, only a tenner too.
They’ve got a load of other great rugby posters, and much much more. Really nice collection of vintage design and illustration.
Tattooed Pigs
The artist Wim Delvoye does some pretty amazing stuff like his metal work churches and diggers, but I’m completely fascinated by the pigs he’s been tattooing!
