It’s no secret that we at The Urban Grocer have a soft spot for any marriage of food and art. And so upon learning about UK-based graphic designer and painter Joël Penkman, it was love at first site. Penkman’s delightful paintings take as their subject everything from an open can of Spam, to Stilton on a digestive, to black forest cake. Read more

Look very closely as your eyes are deceiving you. These are not innocent crayons, fit for small fingers.

Lead vocalist and guitarist Geoffrey ‘Gep’ Rectin says The Archerbolds plan to create a solid sound for next year: ‘Over summer, we’re recording an EP and working on a set sound, defining more of an image’. If their track, Rest Your Soul, is anything to go by, then it should be pretty dandy.
Now you can take the annoying but fun sport of popping bubble wrap at work, or on a special occasion, onto your tie. This should definitely pass the time if you’re annoyed or you just want to annoy someone. Read more
