David Neevel’s award show necklace
Reader Find
What’s better than winning a prestigious advertising award? Slicing off the ends. Drilling holes in it. Adding screws. Attaching a chain. And wearing the award around your neck like a boss. The fantastic work of David Neevel.

Dream: new music video by French duo Cauboyz for the band Husband
Reader Find
This is a great music video where the magic comes from the fact they did it for real, when it could so easily have been made in CG. Lightboxes bearing beautiful typography light up in time and sequence to the lyrics of the song. It’s a lovely, simple idea, executed to perfection. A pleasure to [...]

Vote Tumbly at Webby Awards

This year, my webtoy Tumbly is nominated for a Webby award (the Oscars of the Internet). Tumbly is an app that lets you hijack any site with silly animated gifs.

Keep Calm and Tear it Down poster by Rajeev Basu
Reader Find
Almost every office round the world has the iconic British poster, Keep Calm and Carry On, somewhere on their walls. It’s become a cliche. There are hundreds of versions and thousands of parodies. Thing is, people and attitudes have changed a lot since 1939 when the poster was first made. The world is a very different [...]

Beautiful mosaic art by Leah Reeves
Reader Find
Juan is Dead is a line of tile-based artwork by my friend, Leah Reeves. She is a former ad agency creative from London, and now makes these pieces fulltime. Each one is totally unique and made by hand. Most works feature her character, Juan, and friends from his world from the afterlife. It’s a curiously dark but colourful world. You’ll never look at tiles in the same way again.

Snarky greeting cards by Rajeev Basu
Reader Find
I’m an artist and writer from London, currently living in Boulder, Colorado, and this is my latest project: Greeting Cards, as rejected by every major retailer. The cards are made using clip-art and some of my favourite fonts, including Giddyup and Lucida Calligraphy. I love funny stuff, and it’s a big part of everything I make.

Big Train: an 90s underground British comedy sketch show
Reader Find
Big Train is a comedy sketch show from England that came out in the 90s. It remained pretty underground due to its obscure and absurd humour, but to this day, maintains a small cult following. This is just one of many superb sketches. Great writing.

Brilliantly absurd and bizarre animations by David Firth
Reader Find
Fact: Jerry Jackson took over 100 days to make his website because it was coded using XBOX code. Jackson is a character from the mind of animator David Firth. The hilariously absurd and bizarre storylines work perfectly with the made in five minutes in MS Paint animation style. [Check out Firth's recurring Salad Fingers character below the jump]
