Fantastic Mr Fox

By Chungaiz | Published: August 3, 2009

You can buy them as prints on the site. [...]

Where the Wild Things Are

By Chungaiz | Published: March 30, 2009

Directed by Spike Jonze, starring Forest Whitaker and James Gandolfini, and co-written by Dave Eggers, the release of classic children’s book “Where The Wild Things Are” as a film could be perfectly timed to tap into the feelings of nostalgia, family, belonging and childhood that the recession seems to be demanding. I’m sure we’ll post [...]

Bibliodyssey

By Chungaiz | Published: February 16, 2009

Bibliodyssey is a great resource for images from rare books. For me though, it functions as a source of inspiration – you never know what’s going to be showcased – skeletons, astronomy, flowers, monsters, maps, architecture… check it out..

Economic Downturn Has Upside?

By Chungaiz | Published: November 11, 2008

Interesting thought piece about the recession and how Wall Street’s brain drain over the past 50 years since women’s rights were improved and the lucrative financial industry encouraged people not to enter the teaching profession may now be over. As a result of the lay-offs from the financial world, and indeed the re-assessment that current [...]
