Ian Stevenson is an awesome London based illustrator. His work and vision make me smile. When we asked Ian if he always wanted to be a designer for Issue One he had a great response.

I was browsing around Flickr today searching for some pixel art inspiration for a new tattoo idea and ran across a beauty inspired by Craig Robinson’s minipop drawings on flipflopflyin.com. We were lucky enough to interview Craig or Fill/Stroke last summer.
This adaptation was made by Ruby Khan.
It contains 45 different figures; 99 individual people and one happy little tree accompanying Bob Ross.

The 19th is almost here and so is Stereolab’s new album Chemical Chords, their first LP since 2004.
Part of the joy at the heart of any new Stereolab album is unraveling the many vagaries contained within the music. Their records are pleasant at first, but labyrinthine upon inspection.

When I was a little girl and before I spoke any English, I loved making furniture and “houses” for my Barbie’s out of LEGO. I wanted to be an architect/veterinarian/pop singer.
