- anatomical entertainment
A wax model and a pop up book originally used in the training of 19th Century medical students and ended up being used for entertaining and educating the general public. Audio slideshow on the BBC with the curator of the Wellcome Collection.
- masquerade or everyday?
I find this image in turns mildly disturbing and charming… Very cool :)
- 1898
Personally I prefer the original Pepsi logo from 1898 :)
- just for you
Outstanding picture, have you spotted the bee in the top left hand corner? I hope one day I love my own photos as much as I love this.
- chocolate sardines
Chocolate sardines… chocolate in the shape of a sardine, with realistic sardine-looking foil wrappers, in a tin that opens with a little key like a real tin of sardines. I would buy these and never open it because this packaging is just too perfect.

Every man and his dog has seen these concept illustrations for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland by now, but I’ve looked at them so much over the past couple of days that I had to share them myself. I had read that Michael Kutsche was the character concept artist for the film, but I think these illustrations are by someone else… I’d love to know who this artist is, I can’t quite make out the signature seen on the second image.
I’m really looking forward to seeing this film! It’s Tim Burton so I’m already expecting a visually rich landscape, my only hesitation is hearing the script described as a “lightened up” version of the original story, suitable to younger audiences… It will be interesting to see how it has been written as almost a sequal to the original with Alice returning to Wonderland not remembering she’s been there before.
- commended by parents magazine and advertised therein
This baby wouldn’t be out of place in my new office – sitting somewhere high with a view from the whole room ;) . It still has an original sticker on top that reads “Commended by Parents Magazine and advertised therein”.
- scooby-doo
After we move in October I’m planning on decorating my new office just the way I want & this shifty looking couple definitely need to be there :) They remind me of characters from Scooby-Doo! I was never the biggest fan of that cartoon growing up but I always loved it when the bad guy spied from behind paintings on the wall.

One of the mystery photos from the film I was carrying around in my bag… I really like it, especially the beautiful sky with the clouds disappearing into the horizon. Looking at it now I remember exactly what I was thinking when I took it and how I was feeling that afternoon. Maybe I should ‘forget’ rolls more often.
