I bought this table lamp for my office from Ikea a few weeks ago and I am as impressed today as I was back then - the Lykta. A beautiful but simple lamp that creates a warm ambience throughout the whole room. The best part is that it was only $19!

Most graphic artists create beautiful masterpieces for their clients. But how well do these masterpieces print onto a t-shirt or a hoodie?

As screen printers, we work alongside graphic artists to make the client’s idea come to life. Occasionally, graphic artists, who aren’t experts in garment decoration, will overlook a few points before designing the dream and as a result, the dream becomes almost impossible to fulfil.

So I just flew in from attending some Melbourne and Sydney fashion week shows and I have to say, what the fuck is going on with the models?

We know it happens all the time - people say the models are too thin, but maybe it’s because they actually are. Having seen them first hand - I have to say, some of these girls look revolting. And while it may be the clothes look better on thin girls, if we wanted to see skeletons we could have gone to the cemetery and dug up some corpses. Continue Reading ►
