First 4 images : Old photos of beach bits from this year's Philippines trip
Last image : Experiment fabric I designed last year

My 6 year old cousin created a new word that I would like to introduce to the world. Bat00tski (the 00's are for effect), meaning fart. I bet those Oxford dictionary people are ready to pounce on this gem...

This year I wanted to try and learn how to design patterns on my own which has been really tricky (who am I kidding... totally frustrating at times) but I'm tentatively getting the hang of it. Sorry the pics are so small, for some reason blogger cuts pics that are larger than 500px.

Lots of ideas running through my head like making wrapping paper, large scale posters, prints and other things but my thoughts have been leaning towards tinkering with my new Gocco... more about that soon. :}

It's fricken freezing (and I've gone sans heater just to have an enviro-y green-y night) so i'll keep this short.

Curse of the Golden Flower = Banquet for the eyes. :}

Polysics - 'I My Me Mine'

This morning I poured my cereal onto a plate.

...prepare yourselves for a truly seamless segue...

I thought I'd post this video because it is super nutty. Just like my cereal. Har har har.

No but seriously, this is worth the click. And strangely infectious too... I still don't know why this song has got me hooked.

This is a must-have book in my... book!

Commercial design of Japan is an absolute joy to flick through on those rainy uninspiring days. Not that I'm complaining. Bring it on mother nature, our farmers need it especially!
