Sack Boy MontageHave 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 characterSack Boy ChewsWatch 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.

3 Colour Monster

This is probably my favourite Monster illustration of all time. Quality monsters and hand drawn type abound in Andy’s portfolio of screen prints, and his shop. Cookie had this on his wall until he started the walk .. so i stole it! ..It’s mine now ..MINE! hahaaaaa

Unitypeg TeaTowels and TableCloth

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…

Lost And Found

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

JoeDoucet's 3D Pixel Sofa

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! :)

2F Flat Folding Chair

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.

Kates Monster

How awesome is this fella! ? He has a super flappy interactive mouth ;) And a brilliantly deranged set of eyes. He looks as though he’s having a right moan! heh. He’s the first sock monster creation of Kate ( MrsKnotty ), and very monstery he is too. It was Making Things Club last night - and make things we certainly did : ) Nat cranked out an unbelievable Nu-Rave chicken with bling gold eyes and fluro pink mohekan ( send me a picture! ) truly ground breaking stuff going on here i can tell you. Keep ‘em coming monster makers!
