A fascinating exhibtion currently exhibiting at the Wellcome Collection in Euston, exploring drug use throughout the ages in art. It aims to look at the role of drugs from 16th century tobacco to twentieth century MDMA (ecstasy). Well worth a visit, highly recommended!

JEREMYVILLE
Have loved the work of this crazy Frenchmen for a while now. He produces prints, posters, skate decks, books, toys.. to name a few. Everything he touches is very loud, vibrant and beautifully laid out. The content of his work is evidence of a very active imagination, you can spend ages interpreting his visual 'stories' and personally, i dont get bored of them.
To me Jeremyville is one of those illustrators who has bags and bags of creativity and has nailed down his style... the result of this is copious amounts of quality work. Check out his website www.jeremyville.com
Hello Kitty collaboration.
Typically packed with energy.

Searching made easy
In this ad for the search engine Yahoo!, a real haystack pierced with a giant needle was placed next to a motorway, to show that Yahoo! makes it much easier to find a needle in a haystack.

Put your dukes up
Sometimes things just work. This simple piece of graffiti is a great example of someone seeing something in the most mundane of objects and bringing it to life. I defy you not to smile.

Worth a watch
If you've got a spare moment I highly recommend spending it watching this. These guys have bags of talent and combined with some well edited time lapse they have produced a wicked little video. Really nice to see the process aswell as final product.
Got to start somewhere
This is for all of us who have had what seemed to be a ground breaking idea only for it to be completely belittled when you put pen to paper. Dont lose faith, ideas grow, evolve and blossom. Here is the original sketch for social networking site Twitter, not exactly the most intruiging visual spectacle or for that matter complexed equation, however turned out to be not such a bad idea in the end..

The History of Brands
These photos were taken at the 'Museum of Brands' in Notting Hill. It shows package re-branding from the 1950s, after world war 1, up until a year ago. You can really see the similarity within all the products as they evolve through each decade.
Golden Voice
This is a must see. Ted Williams a homeless man finds a job and home after viral video success.

Little people in the city- Slinkachu
Fixie bikes
The fixie bike has not only become a fashion statement but it has evolved into a contemporary piece of design. Through the simplistic use of line, shape and colour the bikes have become sculptural pieces of art in themselves. Seems a shame to ride them.

Beards are back?
This multi-media illustration by Jonas Bergstrand contrasts the ancient history of the beard with it's on going struggle to become a fashion accessory. Personally I think they are dated, some stubble's fine but after a while you got to ask yourself, what am I hiding?
