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

I first came across one of Tessa Farmer’s pieces in the Saatchi Gallery in London and could not take my eyes of it. The intricate detail really needs to be seen to be believed, but the artwork on her site still looks great. Read more

One of things I love about living in a big city like London or New York is that there is always something new to check out. Generally, that something tends to be an attractive man. Actually, he doesn’t even need to be that attractive. Checking out guys is just kind of fun when you are a sweaty, over-crowded central bound train at 8am in the morning and you need to find away to pass the time. Read more

The sweetest word play award goes to the Berkeley hotel in London for its new afternoon tea menu, Prêt-à-Portea (a play on fashion bible website, Net a Porter). Even though a lot of craftsmanship would have gone into creating these edible delights (including a Marc Jacobs raspberry and lychee cream jumpsuit with over-sized chocolate flower belt), I still want to devour them.

There aren’t many performances in TV history more memorable than Idris Elba’s turn as Baltimore drug czar Stringer Bell on The Wire. So I was thrilled to discover Luther, the BBC show that flips Elba from robber to cop, on Netflix Instant. Set in London, Luther finds the British actor back in his hometown playing an embattled detective responsible for the city’s grisliest murder cases. The show is shot with such care, it’s beautiful to watch. Imagine our beloved Law & Order directed by Christopher Nolan.

I’ve heard whispers that Kings Of Convenience, the Norwegian duo of folkloric proportions, have split. I hope they’re unfounded, but like all good rumours, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Perhaps Erland Oye is enjoying the unlimited scope of his solo career too much? And then there’s his new submorphic guitar pop project, The Whitest Boy Alive, to keep him occupied. The whitest boy alive? Indeed he is. But damn the guy can sing.
