I‘m lovin’ Think Geek’s April Fools today, but I tell you what, I would genuinely buy one of these if they were available, brilliant :)
Sanjay Patel
Pixar animator and illustrator Sanjay Patel has been keeping himself busy in the evenings working on his illustrated books. My favourite is The Little Book of Hindu Deities, those little deities are too cute, £6 from Amazon.
Also Ramayana, Divine Loophole looks pretty impressive.

Me 4 You, Threadless submission
It’s been a while since I’ve done any bloggin I know.. My excuse? Well I’m in Amsterdam and computerless in the evenings, I need to get a laptop but don’t want to buy one until they bring out the new MacBooks..
Anyhow, I haven’t been completely idle, I’ve also been working on a wedding invite for my brother who is getting married later this year. Which among other things led to this new t-shirt submission for Threadless, if you’d like them to print it, please head over and vote » Sadly it didn’t make the grade, voting has ended early..
Vík Prjónsdóttir
A while back I was repeatedly sent this Beardcap link, I never blogged about it at the time as it was all over the internet already. But the Icelandic company responsible – Vík Prjónsdóttir continues to knock out fresh stuff, in particular I’m lovin’ their new blankets.
The layering of this Shield of Wings (pictured) and the anchored Sea Blanket is mighty nice. Although the one that I really want to get shipped over from Iceland is Hidden World (bottom pic), it’s well wizard :)

Selleck Waterfall Sandwich
Ha ha, I have a bit of a soft spot for internet absurdities and Selleck Waterfall Sandwich delivers on that account. The man, his mustache, a waterfall and a sandwich for good measure, strangely entertaining..

Preserve – hand painted signage
Mark Spurgeon is collecting photos of old hand painted building signage on his site – Preserve. Most shots are from New Zealand and Australia so far, so if you have anymore, send them over »
Lots of great stuff on there, but I’m really taken by these massive numbers painted on doors above and below :)
Spot The Tiger
Normally I would have a blind spot to web polls like online advertising, but not these from Spot The Tiger. Each week a new poll is illustrated by a guest designer and put up for vote, there’s some great designs and interesting results.

Feltron’s 2009 Annual Report
It’s that time of year when designers across the globe check out what Nicholas Felton has been up too the previous year in his annual report. As always, meticulously recorded data and beautifully put together. Letterpressed print version available from his shop (only 2000 copies).
Amanda Wachob Tattoo
Stunning tattoo style from Amanda Wachob. Looks like nothing I’ve seen before, the colours, the brush strokes, doesn’t look like it could of been made with a needle?

Dogs are better than cats
Love that random note at the end :)
This fella clearly has some chopsticks up his sleeve:
