We had a nice 2 month holiday earlier this year and it was so difficult to choose where to go! We drove around for 2 months, spending most of our time in London, Wales and Southeast England but we also flew to Barcelona for a long week of shopping, walking and learning about Spanish culture. We had endured a long debate on whether to go to Vienna or Barcelona, involving the whole family, so long in fact that we eventually just flipped a coin.

The world’s first programmable t-shirt exists. If you never thought all that awesome shit from the future (movie futures) would happen, you were dead wrong.

A guide book and show of unconventional street inspired art and artists. It has tutorials on how to paint a mural on a wall with spray paint, paint your own custom shoes, bind a book or sew a monster and tons more. I jumped right in a made a monster. (Since its my first, I don’t exactly love it, but its not a horrible start.) Handmade Graphics…
