What’s Up #10: Ryan Waller
This is a bit embarrassing. NYC seems to be out thinking poor old lumbering London town in promoting attractive ways to make the city more environmentally friendly. I mean, who could say no to Ryan Waller’s NYCity Bird… [arentisoclever.com]. There’s loads of recently updated stuff on Ryan’s site including a new zine put together with [...]
What’s Up #09: Antje Peters
Antje Peters [www.antjepeters.com] is a Dutch photographer that has recently created a muse in the shape of a white garden [www.antjepeters.com/03-the-garden-2007]. Her use of white reflects a nature that is central to the photographic medium—ie through the lens, ‘without light, the garden wouldn’t exist’. See images from this along with other interesting projects, such as [...]
What’s Up #08: Jason Miller
Jason Miller [millerstudio.us] puts a quirk on the face of modern furniture design. The goal of his work and his studio is to take the mundane and everyday and over conceptualise it into new shapes and forms such as ceramic tiles that look like shipping containers and quilts embroidered in patterns based on webpages. My [...]

The camera is his tool of choice but there’s nothing so straight forward about the resulting images and textures he produces with it. Venture over to the SkullKid Flickr page [ flickr/skullkid] and [...]
What’s Up #06: Hugh Frost
One of the many stars of last year’s University of Brighton grads, Hugh Frost is one of those young designers that flits about between various disciplines with the ease of a pro. He’s currently adding ‘pop practitioner’ to the list (which already includes music video direction for The Maccabees [youtube.com] and former Art Director for [...]
What’s Up #05: YCN
YCN [ycnonline.com] have just completed a subtle update to their website with the addition of new user profiles and the addition of being able to link to your Flickr, MySpace or Facebook accounts. Responses to the Show Off customisation brief are still flooding in too [ flickr/ycn ]. Here’s a couple of my personal faves [...]
What’s Up #04: Clara Terne
Thanks to Tess at John Brown for pointing me in the direction of ex-Grandpeople [grandpeople.no] intern, Clara Terne [terne.se] whose illustration work is suitably lush. Update! It’s a shame it’s impossible to find any images of the ‘industry reports’ she compiled to document the various internships undertaken whilst studying at the London College of Communication [...]
