Studio Output have just launched their new site with an amazing interface. Built by Kleber.
Counter-Objects is the sister store to Counter-Print and features some equally thoughtfully curated art and design goodies that I am sure a lot of us would love to get our hands on. There are some posters available from some my favorite designers and illustrators that I didn’t even realize were still in circulation. I discovered the site via a link back to Changethethought and for that I thank them very much.
Jenkins is a mixed media artist and illustrator living in the U.K. He is responsible for some very compelling imagery that communicates a very raw and tactile quality. It’s hard not to like and I would imagine his work would look great hanging on a wall. You can also check his more regularly updated Flickr pages.

“A burned-out ice-cream van is among 100 works Banksy has installed at Bristol’s museum, replacing many of the museum’s regular artefacts. The reason the museum was closed was kept secret from top council officials.
Banksy said: “This is the first show I’ve ever done where taxpayers’ money is being used to hang my pictures up rather than scrape them off.”
Staged in the council-owned City Museum and Art Gallery, Banksy v Bristol Museum features animatronics, installations and a sensory display.”
I want to go see this very badly.
