Empress of the North Animation by Drew Christie
Evening all, if you'd like to join me in watching this little animation by Drew Christie which is packed full of character and atmosphere. If you're a regular here you'll know we are big fans of anything handmade, so this sombre animation was just the tonic needed on what has turned out to be quite

Imagery from Riley Salyards
I've not come across Amsterdam's very own Riley Salyards before but browsing through her blog it quickly became evident that she was a creator.

Enzo Mari for Artek by Ville Tanttu
What a great set of videos I found featuring one of the most thoughtful and intellectually provocative Italian designers of the late 20th century, Enzo Mari. His works as a designer have inspired and influenced various individuals, even myself. Enzo’s talents span across writing, teaching, art
