Living Quarters Photographed by Mieke Verbijlen
After a little gap between any photography related articles, although every post here does feature an exciting array of imagery, I thought it was about time I highlighted an individual that's been particularly inspiring for a little while. I've had the portfolio bookmarked in my reader and I'm check
Green Tea Inspiration at Hibiki-an
It's great finding new inspiration in all different fields, the blog is the perfect place for us to get our thoughts out there and put our own twist on certain subjects, ones that don't get much light on other websites. I guess in this life everything is interconnected and our daily lives, or things
Collecting Lacquer with Kenji Suzuki
It's not often that I bring films into the archive, Daniel tends to have a knack for finding the best on the web in the fields of art, design and craft. But today I came across this short piece that doesn't have any commentary, but has very simple filming and features some curious ongoings. In fact,
Inspirational Structures by Takeshi Hosaka Architects
Usually we're known for highlighting lesser-known independents who work on smaller scale projects. Takeshi Hosaka is quite the opposite of that, being a much bigger architecture firm who've worked on some big projects over the years, they're also recognised internationally for their good work (recen
Reclaimed Wooden Furniture by Hugo Franca
It's not everyday that we're lucky enough to come across works like we have here today from Brazilian artist and craftsman Hugo Franca, but boy does it make your morning when projects of this nature do come along. Hugo is responsible for the bespoke handmade furniture that you see before you, all of
Plant Imagery by Qusamura
Plant pictures and imagery featuring greenery puts me in quite a trance, lately I've been excited by the mixture of vessels combined with living things such as a cactus or a bonsai. I actually own a bonsai myself and it takes center stage on a windowsill in my house, nurturing it is a very rewarding
Beyond the Gardens Series by Lonelyleap
I've just realised that I've not found or wrote about any good films lately, which is shame because we've showcased so many terrific independent filmmakers over the years. To break my streak I'm bringing forward this video series that I came across yesterday which I thought was something quite speci
The Inspirations and Works of Potter Len Castle
Aha! Here we go again, more pottery and ceramics. This time in the form of New Zealand potter Len Castle who received a CBE for Services to Pottery and has also been awarded many merits over his lifetime for his work in the creative arts. Although he sadly passed away at the age of 86 in 2011 his wo
Bonsai by Colby Waller
Bonsai's are quite an interesting subject and have been an on and off fascination of mine for a little while , it's a shame but you never seem to hear much about them on the internet. Last night I stumbled across this video by Colby Waller about the Nation Bonsai Museum in Washington D.C. arboretum.
Architecture Photographed by Grant Mudford
This is a prime example of two creative subjects coming together to form a great marriage, as seen here with this series of photography based on architecture by Grant Mudford. Incredible to see such great photography coupled with the admiration for the buildings themselves and how they've been desig
Set of Imagery from Craig Spence
In the last few weeks I’ve had the tendency to revisit a lot of creatives work who we’ve featured in the past so I felt it was about time I introduced you to a new one. With this in mind photographer Craig Spence is heading into our archive today with this delightful set of self documenting imag
Natural Films by Style Design Japan
I picked up these two short films by Tatsuo Yamamoto, owner of a website in Japan called Style Design. From what I can translate and decipher he owns a business that produces design work and on the side he's an avid photographer and filmmaker. Or maybe it's merged altogether, who knows. I titled the
