Her blog, This is Niave, is Tommy's way of presenting her travels, her world, in photos. She's from London and it is beautiful. Her city guides are really special and I've been sending them to friends as inspiration.

Didn't even realize how much I have been enjoying Post Typography's incredible design work, in posters, magazine covers, logos, illustration and advertising. They have a solid portfolio!

Willy & Wood

Italian sculptor Willy Verginer creates impressive forms (see alpsound) with carving tools. I saw his work for the first time a few years ago in at Arte Fiera Bologna and stopped short, but his new work adds these elements of color and division which are delightfully uncanny.
