Drawing Daily Anthology Volume 2
Steven Kraan has put out the Drawing Daily Anthology Volume 2, a collection of 23 short comic strips featuring characters as diverse as a disgruntled Jesus Christ, chirpy human blood cells, thieving cave-men and (my personal favourites), the inept astronauts. The Anthology presents a small selection of the comics Kraan draws and puts online for the world to see, every day (as well as some brand new ones exclusive to this book). It can be ordered here.

We Are Bedford: a documentary about the town of Bedford
People living in my home town of Bedford got really bored of seeing empty shops everywhere, so they decided to set up an art and music festival in them. This is a great little documentary about the festival by Tom B. Wild Productions.
Rebecca De Winter has started to make waves in the UK independent music scene partly due to this weird little music video that popped up online a few months ago. Her lyrics offer a narrative folk appeal backed by a musical bed that is pure acoustic pop.
David Litchfield’s Drawing A Day illustration project
Just over a year ago, I decided to draw one illustration a day and post it online for a year. I did it initially to practice and to develop. I completed the project last month and I’m really proud of myself for achieving what I had hoped. I feel like an illustrator now. It goes to show what can be done with a bit of focus and an Internet connection. Read more

Interior design website Apartment Therapy recently posted some amazing photos by Chris from Baltimore-based photography studio Studio Tempura from when he ventured into the abandoned Lebow Clothing Factory. Read more
This photo by Christian Fischer captures the Wolffia Arrhiza, a member of the Araceae family of plants, and the smallest plant known to man. Cute, huh?
The Australian film collective behind the sci-fi spoof, The Time That Time Forgot, perfectly capture the look and feel of awkward, low-budget rip-offs from the ’70s — the psychedelic lighting, bad dubbing, and amazing hair. One almost wishes Italian Spiderman was for real. [more about Italian Spiderman]
A young female once said, ‘if I were into hot bikie guys, I would always hang out at Deus’. Translation: Guys on bikes like to hang out at Deus Ex Machina because they love the quality custom bike and all the quality trimmings. And, seriously, even the most Toyota Corolla driving of women will be entranced by the beauty of the custom work done by this place. Men and women alike fill the humid, tin-roofed showroom, running their fingers from the rough leather seat thing to the glossy front cover thing to the shiny metal handlebar things. Of course, if you really don’t care, or don’t know how to appreciate a thing of beauty, then, surely, you will love the Deus café. Truffle oil drizzled field mushrooms appear on the breakfast menu. If that doesn’t make you bow at the Altar of Deus, then you can go to hell.
Face Your Pockets encourages you to empty your pockets out onto a copier, put your face down on the glass (eyes closed), press the green button, and then post the results on their website. It’s fun people! It’s also a great way to weird-out your co-workers.
Hotly tipped by a handful of soothsayers to take 2009 by storm, Trembling Bells are an altogether different and refreshing musical experience to much of what seems to excite people at the moment. On first listen, it’s fairly easy to ignore — one could casually shrug it off as some limp take on Scottish baroque folk. Yet, there is something more to it. Rarely do you hear that high-pitched, warbling voice in mainstream music. Likewise the marching band cacophony going on in the background is both daring and highly intriguing.
