New resolution...

Well, Happy New Year and I hope you all had a great Christmas (without too many family dramas...). I just wanted to share with you one particular Christmas gift which I think will make all the difference to my 2012, The 'ONE SKETCH A DAY' journal, thank you for this Dan.

Style and humour...

...and no I am not talking about the leading men, but the film. If you enjoyed the first, fast paced film, you will love this one. Pay attention though, try not to get distracted by your dropped popcorn... because every second counts in this masterpiece of modern film making.

Logos with hidden depths

So you look at a logo, you've seen it before a million times, but have you ever really seen it as the designer intended? Here's a little insight into what those creative brains were really trying to achieve when they developed the logos that we know and love, and maybe a few that we don't.

We like this... check out the web article for yourselves here.

Heaven and hell combined

Well thank you to Joe for flagging up this wonderful piece of creative genius. Ray Villafane has managed, through some of the most challenging temporary mediums, to create heavenly sculptures using some hellish subject matter. Not all of it is hellish mind you, there's a lot of science fiction and fantasy focus in there too...

Farewell to old pals

A sad start to the week as we say goodbye to the pinkfrog unofficial mascot 'Harry the fire bellied toad' (technically a frog, but due to their bumpy skin – known as toads) and his tank chum 'Lucky, the fire bellied newt, who both died this weekend, aged 7 and 9 years respectively.

Frog bread...

Yes that's right, frog bread – how cool is that! This was brought to my attention by Mandy (thanks Mandy) and is a fabulously creative way to make bread more interesting (bound to be a conversation piece at dinner parties too...) If you want to adapt the recipe to make pinkfrog bread (highly recommended), just use red food colouring, easy peesy. Check out the recipe and method for yourselves here...

Movember madness...

No, you haven't entered a time warp, men everywhere really are sporting moustaches of the most outrageous variety... and all for a mighty fine cause. I have seen and indeed met, participants of the Movember movement, a movement dedicated to raise awareness and funds for testicular and prostate cancer.
