La photographe hollandaise Claire Droppert a fait la série « Gravity – Sand Creatures » dans laquelle elle capture des blocs de sable jetés et figés dans les airs pour en faire ressortir des formes animales. Une série qui fait appelle à notre imagination, à découvrir sur Fubiz dans la suit de l’article.

The Creative Wooden Creatures kit educates and fosters the creativity of children by allowing them to create a wide range of animals by combining and rearranging various interchangeable body parts. They can discover animals from land to sea or explore and create their own creatures from octolizards to jellypedes! The combinations are endless! Abstract shapes and sustainable wood material give it unique identity and Link-n-log timelessness… a great hand-me-down from generation to generation.

Gloria GoldfinchBritish bird and LEGO enthusiast Thomas Poulsom created a series of gorgeous local birds in LEGO blocks. Pictured here is Gloria Goldfinch, but he’s also done a puffin, a woodpecker, a kingfisher, a robin, and a blue tit.
Thanks to the LEGO site Cuusoo, amateur designs like this actually have a chance of being made into official LEGO products, if they get 10,000 supporters on the site. Poulsom’s birds still have a very long way to go, but they are very deserving with their lovely simplicity.

Adjacent to Anthropologie King’s Road is a little companion gallery. The current exhibition features the elegant “taxidermy” dogs of Donya Coward.
Some characters I encountered at the V & A Museum of Childhood.
You know what would be an awesome project? New tin toys illustrated by contemporary illustrators…
It is amazing how one little dog (and amazingly talented and sincere woman, Camilla Engman) have inspired so much love and creativity! Purchase the book on Blurb and proceeds go to the World Society for the Protection of Animals.
Wow — nearly 40 submissions of painted, drawn, gocco’d and collaged foxes have come in from all over the world! I will definitely need to add some pages to this feature. Unfortunately I won’t be able to include everything, but I’ll post some of them on the blog as well. Above is a collage by Gracia & Louise.
In our upcoming issue, Deidre will be exploring the allure of the fox. To complement the article, I am gathering a “gallery of foxes.” I’ve already invited a few illustrator favourites for their work but am opening it up to our readers! To participate, send us your fox illustrations and inspirations by Friday, February 19. Submissions must be at least 4″ wide at 300dpi to be considered for publication. Label the file with your last name, and submit it here. Please send a follow up email with your full name, address, email and a brief description of your submission. There’s only room for a few submissions! Thanks.
I’m at home most of this week (crazily, we’re getting a new ikea-installed kitchen just weeks before the baby is due… must be that nesting instinct!) So the couch is my office today, while a new floor and cabinets are in progress.
I was doing some image research for issue 5 and came across the dog reading, part of a set of Rand McNally Elf books from the 50s. There are some interesting photo collages/illustrations, particularly of dogs and cats in clothing… slightly more strange than cute.
