This is what a decade of Playboy centrefolds looks like. It's 1988 - 1997, in case you're an aficionado on such things, and it's a work by Jason Salavon where he's used "...point-by-point mathematical averaging..." to produce the image.

Pretty simple design, pretty simple purpose. The MoviePeg retails at just under a fiver and puts an end to the problem of having to either hold or find the right newspaper, book or beermat to prop your iPhone onto watch a movie.
Task: take image of old pin up or good shot of a lady. Add laser effects to her breasts. Lazertits. A totally pointless website, but worth a butchers.

A Beautiful Machine is a two-week event curated by McFaul Studio and howies and is running from the 26th March to 9th April. A combination of art, talk and ride based above the howies store in Bristol.
With over 50 artists from around the globe, 15 incredible speakers, a bicycle treasure hunt and a special bicycle auction it's going to be a whole lot of fun.
The preview of director Spike Jonze's new short "I'm Here" is online.
Great news about Min-Kyu Choi, winner of the Brit Insurance Design of the Year 2010, and his folding plug. Another example of an idea you look at and kick yourself you didn't think of it, which just goes to show we're all guilty of not spending enough time thinking about the world around us and how we can improve things. I can't believe we've been using the clunky big plug design, apparently the biggest household plug in the world, since it's conception in 1946.
I do hope Min-Kyu makes the money on this before a big corp finds a way round his patent... All of the entries are on show at the Design Museum, London.
Christoph Niemann is well worth a mention, his work has a nice sense of wit. He's got a new book out which is "A playful homage to New York" and shows aspects of New York depicted through the medium of photographed Lego bricks. The above image is taken from a n Abstract City series which are well worth a look.
Peskimo and Chris Dickason join up to bring us Tease Made - and exhibition of prints, paintings and doodles running from 19th March to 11th April, 2010 in Bristol. It's an exhibition at Start, a new art space in Bristol, and is based around all things to do with having a nice cup of tea. Sounds like my kind of place.
Just got a zero score on the Colour Acuity Test which means I have perfect colour acuity. Good job really in my vocation... And no, I didn't retouch the score.
