A bit of horsepower and masculine energy today with some fantastic shots by photographer Benedict Redgrave. If you like snazzy cars you should definitely go have a look at his website too. I love the compositions in the airplane pics though, briliant!

I came across Greg Betza’s illustrations from Ground Zero and really loved them. I love the contrast in stroke and use of colour and the style is so lively and dynamic. I admire the informal style of these illustrations, it looks so effortless, but I couldn’t draw to save my life!

So last post might have been a bit of masculine horsepower so this one is gonna be quite girly. But I did just love the design for Fling Chocolate by Anchalee Chambundabongse, a New York based designer. Don’t you just wanna eat them?

I really love the work by UK illustrator duo Peskimo. I love all their little characters and I wish I had each and everyone of them as a vinyl toy in my crowded vinyl toy collection. But I’ll just have to enjoy them here in stead.

Phew! It’s been a few quiet days here at the lab, I’ve been busy throwing my guts up! Sorry for the graphic details, severe foodpoisening round this end! So haven’t had that much of a vaccation. But I’m back! Today with the lovely smell of man. Isn’t this a great masculine design? Loving it!

It’s gonna be one more Swedish drink today and I just love the name of this one. It comes in two varieties blueberry and “lingon” (red berry, someone Swedish help me out, what is lingon in English?). I just love the simple type on the bottle, no fuss. But immaculate placing and contrast. Yummy!

Malmberg by Below the Clouds

Took a hop across the waters to Sweden last week and had a lovely day in Malmö eating kanelbullar (traditional Swedish cinnamon rolls) and shopping for home decor stuff. I also managed to find a few Inspiration Lab worthy items. One of them is water from Malmberg. I really love how simple it is but how the colourscale really liven it up. The design is done by Swedish studio, Below the Clouds, who has also done lots of other interesting stuff.
