It’s Monster-Munch’s 1st birthday today! I’m pretty chuffed i’ve kept it going for a full circuit, and it’s mainly due to all the lovely comments you guys leave me. I just wanted to say a massive thanks to you, for popping in everyday, and making looking at my blog stats pretty exciting! Hope you’ll be popping over to see us just as much this year too : ) Here’s a round up of the year in numbers - Cheers you lot, Nicky. 

Some lovely illustration and paper cuts to be seen here by Jean Jullien. I think everyone’s felt like their Sleep Working at some point or other. I like that the time handcuffs remind me of the Mac clock cursor icon. Lots of good tshirts to find on his site. Have a flip through :)

With these skinless socks by Estonian design Anton Reppone. Can you get a t-shirt as well ? Would be amazing to see the whole body done like this. Thanks to Estupipedia for the link :) Read Anton’s blog here.

Slip in between those lettuce leaves to become the midnight snack of Homer Simpson’s dreams. Love all the little details inside. Cheers Eran for pointing me to Walyou. Check it out for more comedy, gadgets and geekery :)

Lovely idea to promote a kids hair salon - beautiful visual idea. Spotted over at Estupipedia

Tasty Vans - Via Hypebeast. More info here.

Update: If you fancy a pair you can buy them here

Cheers for the link Tom! Update: See the outtakes  ;)  Ad by Superfad.

Nessie hoax revealed - Sighted here… Update: Design by Ross Zietz originally as a tshirt on Threadless.

I was really happy to see this when it plopped into my inbox. Joe used to make some amazing engraved moleskins. Turns out that laser engraving the surface, although it looked fantastic, produced fairly toxic gases! So Joe’s been cooking up a new plan - customizable leather moleskin slip covers. Which are of course reusable, and age beautifully. Choose from a selection of hot illustrator’s designs or upload your own. ( Very excited about getting a Monster-Munch one! ) See the range of artists here. Details of the covers, their materials, and neat features here. Go on, treat yourself ;)

“A love triangle between common kitchen utensils yields an epic tale of life and death. Told through the magical world of stop go animation, created by Jason Rosenberg and Jon Barth.” Visit Behind Closed Drawers and Jason’s blog.

Spotted on Ffffound.com. Such a good picture!

Shoot the Baddies! Much more fun. Baddie targets by Olly Moss. For more, check his Flickr here. Also - if you’re brave, check out Olly’s brutally honest, but very funny Do Not Disturb signs … Olly’s portfolio is jammed with good stuff.

Graphic Designer / Illustrator Anthony Burrill & sculptor Michael Marriott are in the midst of nailing together their exhibition in reception. It’s open on Thursday 15th in the Biscuit Building reception, Shoreditch. To come down for a peek, please RSVP, guestlist{at}siobhansquire.com. Looking forward to seeing if there’s prints for sale. I’ll find out more and get back to you ;)

Little Big Vice is a mini magazine collaboration between Vice Magazine and Playstation, that came out at the end of the year, featuring our hero Sack Boy!

Sack Boy features in his own fashion shoot with hot models and the latest in designer outfits. There’s a run down of the top worst games characters in history. They asked a bunch of creative types, musicians, illustrators, and designers to come up with their own levels and have a quick chat about creativity, and their sources of inspiration. Seems like a nice way to showcase the depth of flexibility in the game’s Build Your Own, level making tools. I made it into the mag - yey! The Monster-Munch level is stuffed with my handmade Monster geezers. They’ve even rendered me a special moustachioed Sack Boy complete with his own sock puppet! Awesome!

A big massive thank you to Paul from Crowd DNA for hooking me up with the very nice freelance journo Bob Foster from Vice magazine. And a of course super special thanks to Rex for designing Sack Boy in the first place : ) You can read Bob’s full interview with me here.

I love tshirts. And this is a good’en! If your New Years Resolution is to find some new t-shirt inspiration, then i have the perfect spot for you to cruise around for a while - ButThisTshirt - Nik’s Tshirt Blog. Ram packed with inspiration apparel ideas, it makes you want to take a screen printing course. ( I did actually ;) i’ll post about that once i’ve printed something, but don’t hold your breath! ). But if you do get a sudden surge of creative thoughts, and you’re in the East London area, i’d get yourself down to PrintClub London. A wicked studio up in Dalston where a jolly fellow named Freddy will walk you through the ins and outs of emulsion-ing and exposing a screen, and you’ll be rolling in no time. A great day out on a grim January Saturday. In the meantime - you can get this fried egg gem from Nixon. Yey.
