Play-Doh 50th Birthday
For nostalgic hungry types, tiny Picassos or mere fascinators of colour and malleability, it's Play-Doh's 50th birthday. The modelling goo celebrates 50 years, and you too can rekindle craft night with your own tub-of-joy for under a fiver.
Travelling a long way post birth (Play-Doh started life as a monochromatic off-white wallpaper cleaner), this aperitif slash play tool will have your intestines churning whilst opening the brain lid to non-toxic experimentation.
Tatebanko
Things go in and out of fashion right? Fondue, disco, tie dye...ahem, and other things that aren't from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Like Tatebanko. This is a forgotten Japanese art of diorama that was quite the pastime in the Edo period (1603 - 1868). We can just imagine the Tokugawa shogun indulging in a Tatebanko session before whipping some eastern barbarians.
Pictures On Walls
I'm still sitting on the fence trying to decide whether to love or hate these guys. I love their prints and some of their artists, but hate the hype and, in my opinion, over-inflated prices for high edition prints. Fact is though, if you're into urban art, particularly the British crew, then this is the place to go for prints.
Stupid Krap
It's pretty safe to say that following the artistic path is not generally one full of disposable income unless of course you happen to be Damien Hirst. It's also pretty safe to say that buying quality art isn't something we can all afford. Stupid Krap is the happy medium for all involved, an online store with some of our favourite local artists selling limited edition yet highly affordable prints.
Keith Haring Tile Coasters
Haring's devotion to creating true public art led to his infamous subway drawings. So what better way to blaspheme them than to whack down a coffee or two right on top of one? Almost too precious to stain with cheap vino or a nasty soy latte, these little bad boys are not only useful for a topic of conversation but also great to look at during an awkward silence at a dinner party.
