Tom Hingston Studio

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
I can't quite remember how I came across the portfolio of Tom Hingston Studio but it's hugely inspirational stuff. This is the studio that art directed that Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album with the truly beautiful cloth-bound cover. The softness of colour along with the perfectly complimenting photography and typography is so seductive and has a subtle richness about it. Other work on the studio's portfolio site is similarly gorgeous.

Tea tag

tea tag
Daily poetics has some really great little bits of ephemera on her photostream at the moment. I love this little tea tag - so much thought has been put into this tiny inconsequential thing. It didn't have to be, but it has. And it's beautiful.

Ásta Kristjánsdóttir

Ásta Kristjánsdóttir
I found Ásta Kristjánsdóttir's website via createmake. There's some really nice portraiture on there, but really I find the 'behind the scenes' ones fascinating. I love the way they expose all the falsities of a fashion shoot. Probably not what was intended but they're really great photos nontheless.

NAGO

NAGO
I don't speak Dutch so I'm not certain what NAGO actually is, but it seems to be a really interesting archive.

My New Toy

Brother typewriter blog
Bargainousness at a car boot sale. And it works! See some lovely Courier here. Needs a fresh ribbon though. This original handbook was a bonus. Lovely.
