Have a wonder over to the Media Molecule blog for more behind the scenes action. I believe Rex is involved with this bunch on the development of Little Big Planet, which looks like it’s going to be one of my favourite games of all time. Animation sketch vid of SackBoy the main character. Watch the work in progress trailer below. It’s pretty good! Kind of excited about this lil fella. Action packed and busting with fun stuff. I own a Wii but i might even get a Playstation for this one.  SackBoy wallpapers available from the Little Big Planet developers Media Molecule.  

Wow there’s an amazing array of robot technologies on show over at Time. A wine tasting robot, football playing robot, a rubik’s cube solving robot, dancers, weight lifters, camel ridding jockey robots (yes!), violinists, conversationalists, and super dexterous robot hands, surgical microbots that work inside your body, and last but not least Robo Parrot! Brilliant. Where can i buy mine ? I want a robot that can tell good jokes, make good margaritas, and maybe fury in texture rather than shiny.

( Well until Cookie comes home that is! ).

Our big day out was recorded in style by our very own Making Things Club JayPeg. More tonight! And we’ll leave the kit out for you on Friday and Saturday night if you wanna get stuck in Some Rex Felt Tip Tattoo action above too.

I’m having an exhibition! Come down and oggle the monsters.

The creatures have been gathered from miles around, preparations are being made… and here they are tucked up in my suitcase ready for the big day out. An exciting trip to Art in Industry!

Come down and get your hands dirty - along with the chaps from Making Things Club we’re doing a Sock Monster Workshop. So don’t miss it! Wednesday 16th 6pm onwards, at SHUNT - a bar, club, theatre space in some creepy creeeepy catacombs.

Artists’s on their day off….
It is a week showcasing the art of professionals in the creative media industries. Participating are over 25 artists from the worlds of video games, web design, film and tv, illustration, motion graphics and design. The only stipulation for the artists was to contribute pieces not created in their day to day work. The work presented ranges from fine art to nu media; images and sound; analogue and digital: presented on amongst other things canvas, screen and your body.

Showing are creatives from Poke, Framestore, Iris, Sony, Kuju London and loads more. And of course the highlight - Rex will be revealing for the first time his top secret animation series for MTV - Nice one! Here’s a video of the space, it’s reminiscent of the Titty Twister bar from From Dusk til Dawn ( but with less vampires ). I’m quite excited.

I’ve got this tea towel at home. I wish i hadn’t used it, and had made a bag out of it or a pillow case. If you don’t know London too well i could imagine it might be a handy bag to have on you There’s so much detail in the hand drawn type, it’s great. I love this green table cloth as it reminds me of sticker sheets with all the stickers missing. There’s something quite satisfying about that for some reason…

You wouldn’t catch me on that! 

While we’re on the subject of guitars… Marshall should make these. Get one here. Link Via Nerd and Fffound

Gibson - ready to rock. Turned out better than i thought. From this distance you can hardly see the magic tape, foam board, stickers, cardboard knobs, and felt! Those knobs actually twiddle. Sweet!

Lovely lovely necklaces made from vintage jewelery mixed with lost and found charms. Each totally unique and recycled. I love the plastic dinosaurs and soldiers contrasting with the painted china and jewels. So Nice! Giving life to old objects, recycling them in creative ways always seems to give exciting results. I love it. Via Tres Plus Cool

I really like the idea of a piece of furniture you can manipulate to suit you. It looks very cool, but not sure how comfy it’d be until i get to sit on one Love that it looks like a gaming environment. Each cushion block, coming in 5 heights, is removable allowing you to create divisions, arm rests etc where ever you like. The Scape Modular Seating System is designed by Joe Doucet at Bond NY, who’ve got their launch party tonight! So if you get to sit on it - let me know what you reckon!

I love this. It’s so simple and elegantly done. It will be replacing all those annoying plastic foldy chairs you’ve got under the stairs that fall out and catch on things, or won’t fit in in the first place. Why didn’t i see this before now! ? It’s brilliant. Design by Hannu Kähonen of Creadesign. Link Via Design Boom.

Check out what’s under the elastic! Haha. These are custom engraved leather moleskin notebooks. You can get what ever you want put on there. Such a good surprise present! ( And extra especially a surprise when it’s a naked picture …… ) Although i wouldn’t recommend that for everyone ; ) Get yours from Joe, here!

Update 27/05: We just got Design of The Month over at EngraveTech. Wicked - Thanks Joe!

Be Nice To Mice is the flickr stream of Nicole Gastonguay who makes all manner of miniture animals and food stuffs… check out the jar of girkins, She looks popular - her shop is totally sold out!

Kaza Razat makes these bespectacled Geeky Cushions in Harlem NY - also available in a gold colour for Premium Geeks Heh! Or if you’re after Super-Plush then there’s a 100% cashmere version for you posh cushion lovers. He has kind of an accusing look don’t you think ? Cheers for the pic Kaza.
