Lobster Boy

Huw's recent excursion to Crosby beach (without suncream) led to extreme sunburn and after a whole morning applying a small fortune in moisturising products he finally gave in and went home - Get well soon Huw!

Blok was first

Just came across this folding bike in design week designed by Wayne Hemmingway and is sold to developers for 55 notes, intended as a give away with new developments. Sorry Wayne, Blok did it first! Have a look at Rhubarb, it's got lovely cool bikes already packed away with each studio, plus they don't look like you've nicked it off your nan!

We don't know how he did it, but our top designer Jmeel managed to transport himself to Topman, Cardiff earlier today for a touch of much needed posing. Nice shirt, but not too sure about those shoes Jmeel!!
