Cronulla tift shift photos

Cronulla is only about 30 minutes south of Sydney but feels a world away. Home of infamous shark island. I like how tilt shift style photos make a otherwise pretty dull scene lively and interesting. photos will sherman

If you can't find one build one part 2

The bed frame has impressed a friend of mine so much he asked for the design so he could build himself one. So I tidied up the drawing and put a few dimensions on it. If you would like a pdf of design you'll find my email address on my website

mysterious al

Mysterious al prints and illustrations are great, I love the bold zombie/halloween style and colours. Its a shame I've run of wall space!! He's also done some fantastic work for Volvo, Levis....check out more of his work at Mysterious al

If you can't find one build one

I couldn't find a simple bed frame and one that we could store all our junk under. So I drew up a quick design and when off down the wood yard. Using around 9 metres of timber and less than a day to construct, the frame is simple to put together with coach bolts. There is very little waste from the 3m lengths as the legs and frame sections are cut from the same 3mx140x19 planks. The steel mid beam and sprung plywood slats are from Ikea to save time.

I happen to come across this print for sale from the design museum in london. I don't know much about Jan Kaplicky but this print of his design for a pilot's dwelling called Project 15 looks awesome! Maybe I'll have to check out some more his works. via design museum
