Jason Freeny Anatomical Views

Big shout out to Jason Freeny at Moist Production, who's created some great images and hand customised vinyl toys showing the anatomy of various well knowns. From Mr Potato Head and a Lego man, through to Kidrobot's Dunny, and others like Qee, Domo and more. You can buy some of his stuff on his site and, if you're quick, a hand customised Nemo is up for grabs on Ebay until 21st September...

McBess

There's a great body of jolly lovely work over at Matthieu Bessudo's site - aka McBess. Above is an illustration for his collective, Salle Polyvalente, from ages ago, but I always like something with a stuffed animal on the wall, so you'll have to head over to Matt's site to see newer stuff.
He's got a black and white, 24 page, paperback book for sale, Malevolent Melody, which looks awesome. It's an edition of 3,000 and has a 7" vinyl in the back featuring music from his band The Dead Pirates. All for just over a tenner.

Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2010

A truly stunning photograph, by Rogelio Bernal Andreo taken in California, has won the deep space prize in this year's Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2010. It's a panorama of part of Orion, including the famous three-starred belt. Apparently, it's also got the Horsehead nebula and the Orion nebula.

Just looking at it for a while sets my imagination racing and kind of helps put things in perspective a bit. We are mere specks, aren't we?

Escher Ants Print

This is an Escher print I haven't seen since I was about 4. I think it's supposed to be oriented portrait but it was hung on the dining room wall like this so, bizarrely, it's now the only way I like it. Fits on the blog better this way too, sorry Escher...
