Itdrewitself recently visited with illustrator, musican and all-round superhuman creative Pete Fowler at his studio near Brick Lane in London. A few hours spent chatting with Fowler and photographing his work space left the impression that there’s not much that Fowler wont try. Juggling various illustration, sculpture, animation and video projects as well as finding time for his ‘Psychedelic Yacht Rock’ band Seahawks, Fowler rarely rests on his laurels, and it has to be said that the world is definitely a better place for it.

I really like the illustrator Tania Willis’ work and now she’s teamed up with Mio Debnam to produce these kid’s guide books. Avoiding the trap of thinking parents know best, they’ve asked kids in the various locations what their favourite days out, experiences, food, and so on are. So far they’ve covered Bali, Sydney, Hong Kong, Phuket, London and New York. My lad gives it 5 stars after a recent trip to Bali. Read more

The feeling inspired by Jared Andrew Schorr’s playful and charming paper cuts? Happiness. It’s simply impossible to look at his work and not smile, unless I am instead gape-jawed in awe at the patience required to create work of such detail. Read more

I’d like to think that I’ve grown out of wetting myself in excitement, but Lewis Campbell’s beautiful and nihilistic Lost Monkey artwork caught me by surprise. Campbell’s ravens (cool, not scary), small little dead beings, whimsical girls, and fantastical creatures remind you of the worlds you dreamt about as a child. Read more

Who needs Thomas the Tank Engine-like positive reinforcement when you can chew and be motivated at the same time. Each pack of Daily Affirmation Gum contains two fruit-flavoured gum balls and an uplifting affirmation. As Confucius says, ‘life is sweet’. And so it is.

Tara Darby’s work spans fashion, music, journalism, advertising and fine art. I’ve chosen Elba Campers, a personal project, because it reveals her sense of warmth and her want to document the world she is immersed in. Read more

Sufjan Stevens creates autistic music for introverts — soft, shy, naive, full of shadows, windows, and insecurities. Yet it all sounds slightly forced, his enigmatic songwriting as comforting as it is unsettling.

The Nine Streets, or ‘De Negen Straatjes’, is so named for the nine small, cosy streets between Raadhuisstraat and Leidsestraat, just minutes from the heart of Amsterdam. Read more

Somehow, meme-based blogs never lose their charm. Maybe because they’re just so stupid. The FAIL blog is simply a catalog of the funniest FAIL images on the web.

It’s only fitting a band of Canadian rootsters like this would tap a mythical figure of folklore for their namesake. Indeed, Ottawa’s The John Henrys understand the power of the familiar. Read more

Illustrator Hope Gangloff has a stack of her ‘election’ tees from the previous US election available for sale which she created with the talented New York-based artist (and her hubbie, no less!), Ben Degen. Even though they were done to mark Bush’s reappointment, they still kinda sum up her mood on the tussle between Obama and McCain. ‘If the election gets stolen’, she says. ‘What say we burn down the capital instead of blogging about it?’. Hmmm, now there’s an idea.

The problem with awesome things like these pencils made out of recycled newspaper is that you almost don’t want to use them.
