With the recent hype over the new James Bond movie Quantum Of Solace, I had a look at the design team behind the ever famous credit artwork and design. MK 12 is the ideas team behind those image infested credits at the start of the movie, that keep your eyes following that lingering smoke from the first fired gun. The integration between font and image is wonderful and still lends to the style in which we know and love of James Bond movies.

A recent skateboard exhibition 'Decked Out' held at Wellington's infamous ALC headquarters 'Manky Chops Gallery' saw some of the local artists put up some of their signature work onto the ever used canvas of a skateboard.

I was sent a beautiful postcard by one of my girlfriends who is being a gypsy at the moment, traveling around on her own, meeting amazing landscapes and people... and postcards. She sent me a postcard for my birthday which she later told me was picked up from a cafe while she was in Denmark. The painting on the cover was very beautiful, and it wasn't until this morning that I found out who the artist was... Mia Overgaard.

I have just spent the last hour loosing myself in the wide open spaces of the Bless website. I have to say, there design and aesthetic is far beyond anything else out there. I love the way they portray themselves as a company and brand. They are insightful and inspiring. At the moment these guys are my favourite. In New Zealand we are in the deep midst of our winter season and as you may or may not have heard, it gets pretty damp and cold here which is why my eyes and heart are falling towards spaces with light and open warm air. I just had to share these pictures with you.
