This Guess Who tshirt made me laugh a lot.

The Sin also caught my eye today, both available from Threadless.com.

I took the time out to visit Anthony Burrill’s latest exhibition last night at Kemistry gallery. ‘In a New Places’ the title of the exhibition was very fitting, with the work on show moving away from previous iconic typographic pieces that have become synonymous with Burrill’s brand of prints. The bold lines, flat colours and simple geometric shapes are all still present, but there’s clearly a focus on illustration taking influence from nature. The show also showed Burrill’s experimentation with with laser cut perspex in the form of some beautiful wall mounted sculptures.

All in the all the private view was pretty packed, as always at Kemistry, with a small collection card reproductions of prints in the show, being given away (I’m sure I’ll post them later on in the week) along side small postcard books that showed off more of Burril’s work that most of his patrons would be familiar with. There’s also a really bold mural on the wall outside Kemistry, so make sure you don’t miss it.

Wallpaper* magazine were also there last night and have put together a small critique of the site along side production shots of the show as it was hung yesterday. The show runs until and check out the Kemistry website for more information and opening times.

Some very interesting router concepts from the talented students at Gold Smiths in collaboration with Talk Talk.

I took the time yesterday to visit the Royal Academy of Art’s highly anticipated Summer Exhibition. There’ was over 1200 amazing pieces of work on show that took me the good part of an afternoon to get round. One of the artists that caught my eye where some amazing prints by Claas Gutsche (the work above was not in the show) as well as a very impressive sculpture from Damien Hirst.

Really satisfying spreads from PaperObject using a mix of flat graphic work and origami paper bjects to enhance the shapes and patterns they form to great effect.

Just discovered that the fantastic creative agency and collective, Big Active , have their own blog choc full of work from their very talented members such as Siggi Eggertsson. Siggi did these amazing illustrations for this months issue of Wired UK on Pirates in Somali.

I’m also very excited by the new that, Genevieve Gauckler, illustration above, is putting on a couple of solo shows later in the year, one of which will be on at one of my favourite galleries in London’s east end, Kemistry.

A very cool chair made from recycled Christmas trees from RCA graduate Fabien Cappello. Beautifully constructed in such a way it becomes an essential part of the chairs aesthetic

Some great new tees from Threadless that caught my eye today. Head over to Threadless to buy any of them.

An insightful article from Creative Review – Logo Trend Report 2009 discussing the logo trends of the past year and trends going forward, summarised from imminent publishing of LogoLounge Five. This years trends include a stronger focus on green and recycled traits and more adventures hues in usually more corporate organisations and applications. A selection of featured logos are shown above, and evidently bottom left caught my eye.

Darn it, looks like I missed the Secret Blisters exhibition at the Dalston Print Club again this year. By the looks of it though, there was a lot of tasty screenprints available to purchase and a great turnout.

Hopefully I’ll remember to check out their next show, which no doubt will be the same time next year. How annoying.
