PICK ME UP

 Pick Me Up is the first contemporary graphic art fair in the UK. The fair brings together the most exciting graphic artists working today, giving you the opportunity to buy limited edition, affordable graphic art, illustration and design.

One of the artists i liked the most was 'Patrick Gildersleeves' (above) It was amongst mainly digital works so stood out. I like the hand drawn approach much better http://www.wowoutrageous.com/

Rob ryan has moved his studio into the exhibition so you can see his thought processes on his kind of scrapbook walls and see his studios intricate working practice.

Print club also has a live studio and the people from Itsnicethat.com, nobrow, peepshow, concrete hermit are there.

SolarBeat

The nicest thing i have come across on the web this past week is 'SolarBeat', created by whitvinyl.

It uses the solar systems orbits and very simply turns it into a music box, counting the years as it plays.

Information is beautiful

Ill tell you a secret, i love graphs, any kind of visual information. That is why i love this book by David McCandless. There is also a website with newer data being made into beautiful visuals all the time - http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/

HAIR

Charlie Le Mindu has an amazing client list including Lady GaGa and the editorials in magazines such as i-D, Dazed & Confused, Vice and playboy are so imaginative.

Best thing about Mindu is that he has a pop-up salon in Tatty Devine, brick lane every friday.

Actually, the best thing is that you can actually buy the 'vuitton wig' (my favourite hair style on the catwalk!) from the online store!

ERIC WAREHEIM

Known about the amazing Flying Lotus video for a while but my friend Jacob sent me a link to all his videos on Vimeo, including some Major Lazer ones!

WIN WITH VICE + AMERICAN APPAREL RUMMAGE SALE

I remember crawling into a friends bed at a house party in Bournemouth after a messy night.
In this bed there was a boy, a mystery jet boy to be exact! He looked worse than me so we exchanged a little bit of politeness, a hug, then i was on my way, forgetting earlier someone had drew a mustache on my face... not the best first impression... ?

Maybe you can try and make a better one as vice are giving away tickets too

So a few of my friends went to the american apparel rummage sale in london this morning. I was being far too lazy to go, but by the afternoon everyone was posting footage from the event on facebook and i kinda wish i had been there!!
Kids do actually go crazy for "power mesh"... sam....

Hmmm.
