Bargains! Bargains! Bargains! Get on down to Somerset House for the åbäke Garage Sale tomorrow to pick up cheap and cheerful Kitsune CDs [kitsune.fr] and loads of other stuff as part of the top Wouldn’t It Be Nice exhibition [somersethouse.org.uk] (sweeps the floor with the Design Museum’s ‘Design Cities’ exhibition [see 959]) ❤ Boicozine’s favourite ex-i-D Art Director, Stephen Male [via Flickr], has taken to helm at US Vogue [vogue.com] although you can’t tell just yet. We’ll be keeping a close eye on those butt-ugly horizontally scaled cover lines to see if he can make them right ❤ It’s all about collectives these days. This week’s collective (don’t worry, it’s this isn’t going to be a regular feature) goes by the name of the Goodfellas Network [goodfellasnetwork.com]. The Goodfellas are a truly international group for creative types including ex-Boicozine contributor Luis Mendo, who now runs the very excellent BladBlog [bladblog.nl] and Joachim Baan [anothercompany.org] amongst others ❤ Matt Pyke aka Universal Everything [via Vimeo] has been curating a collection of moving image works on the theme of synasthesia through his Advanced Beauty website and has just announcing the first Advanced Beauty DVD, available for pre-order now [advancedbeauty.org] ❤ Another ex-mitDR [thedesignersrepublic.com] employee, Michael C Place is a name any design geek will recognise instantly as Mr Build, well just ‘Build’ really [wearebuild.com]. He is currently doing a nice line in graphic interactivity through his Flickr site. Join in… [via Flickr] ❤ Every band should have an archive like this, for the lovingly collated artwork alone… [niagara.edu/neworder]. A weirdly elaborate version of the usually stark record sleeve for New Order’s True Faith is shown above.

Yes, I’ve gone completely POD crazy. Did you know that Zazzle are now offering customisable canvas shoes? Madness, huh. I had to have a go utilising some of the designs I’ve been posting over at Bon Bon Kakku [bonbonkakku.com]. They’re not the most super stylish of models and trainer-heads are likely to sniff at them but when you can put yer own pattern on them… who gives a toss, really. POD it’s all about you… but mostly it’s about me. Me. Me. Me… sorry, we. We. We. We. See the latest bunkum replete prints on yer feets here (they’ll be posted in the boicoshop too eventually) [zazzle.com/retailfashions] and [zazzle.com/retailfashions].

The lovely Miss Gemma Leigh recently pointed us in the direction of some ace (and totally official) prints you can now buy, that are taken from the Ladybird books archive [ladybirdprints.com]. Cabinet [picturecabinet.com] is the name of the company behind the venture. They reproduce the archival images on a ‘print-on-demand’ basis through memoryprints [memoryprints.com] and also offer image archival services. They certainly seem to be doing something right, having chalked up an impressive list of clients in a short space of time. The National Theatre [ntposters.org.uk] (the Eqqus poster from the 1970s is pretty cool), the V&A [vandaprints.com] and The Royal Photographic Society are just some of the organisations that very signed up.

Polite Notice: We’ve just added some ace tshirts designs to boicoshop [shop.boico.net/apparel] as modelled by our luverly Zazzle model above (we’ll take some better pics soon, I promise) well as a couple of fabric designs that you can purchase now through the Bon Bon Kakku website, here [shop.boico.net/BBK001] and here [shop.boico.net/BBK002]. Let us know what you think or post slogan suggestions here and we may do another batch in a different style if you get enough good ones. Email Michael if you’re shy. boicoshop out.
