royaltea bags
i have to say this made me chuckle this morning, designed by donkey products. you can have a tea party with royalty, politicians and strippers.

michael austin wine
beautiful packaging design from hatch. i love the illustration on the labels, its beautiful. you don't usually see naratives on wine labels, but being that it is a new wine, it gives the brand an identity and history, with each bottle having its own personality, making the bottles turn into a collectors item.

sony have recently launched this new amusing project to drive attention to the new ps3. it focuses on the faces people pul whilst playing video games. its a great idea, but as some have pointed out it is very close to the work that has been done by photographer, mr toledano.

aroma lisa
i used to be a huge fan of art attack, and truth be told, i still am, so i love the 'aroma lisa' exhibited in the sydney's historic rocks district which held it's 12th annual aroma festival. it was made out of 3,604 cups of coffee and milk, very clever and pretty!

discovering new music through great videos is just as exciting as the opposite way round, but when you get both as one shiny package it’s almost too much. created by illustrator ian stevenson and music-makers jamie scott & the town.
