Dirty Mouse // Food For Designers’ Dirty Little Mice

We’ve been notified that Cravendale’s Future Milk Competition has been extended until the 4th July 2008 due to huge popularity. Future Milk is a design competition that is open to anyone over the age of 16, focusing on milk packaging in the next 50 years. It will encompass both structural design and on-pack graphics.

Small portfolio but some nice portrait work from Jimmi Francoeur.

Manuel Raeder. Crazy site but lovely work.

Nice retro-feeling illustration from Mads Berg, which I stumbled upon via ffffound.

Time to get your creative hats on again, with another competition brought to you from Beck’s. Part of the Beck’s Fusion project this year is the Live Studio - a challenge for artists and designers to create a piece of art to the length of the track ‘Dawn Of The Dead’ by the band Does It Offend You Yeah, whilst being filmed.

Fabienne Nicholas from CAS, John Squire, Peter Saville and Francesca Gavin will form the Fusions panel who will be judging all of the entries. The panel will then go onto select ten of the best entries, whose art will then be displayed at the final Fusions gig in Manchester on 6th September.

Niccy Kemp is a recent Graphic Design graduate from LCC and has sent us her portfolio to have a look at.

Recent graphic design graduate Katie Edge has just updated her website.

Matt Williamson dropped us a line to tell us about his new website which showcases some real nice artwork that he’s been producing. The art is available for purchase in a number of formats and is worth checking out!

This may be old news but the exquisite Blaugallery has relaunched their website with some fantastic photography of the artwork for sale. I’d love to get one of their pieces but they’re just a bit too pricey for my poor wallet.

Judith over at Delicious Industries has tagged me for the Seven Songs of Spring, which is where I have to list 7 songs I’m listening to at the moment. So without further ado, here’s 7 on my current playlist, top and tailed by the fantastic Johnny Cash.

The Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash
Beautiful (Benny Benassi Remix) - Moby
Windowlicker - Aphex Twin
Love Will Tear Us Apart (Featuring Eloisia) - Nouvelle Vague & Eloisia
This Is How It Feels - Inspiral Carpets
Street Spirit - Radiohead
In My Life - Johnny Cash

So I therefore tag David, Antonio, Jack, Bungers, Quad, Bob and Teacake……  Get on it chaps!
