Cool Hunting
In a former sweet factory in East London, UK, resides a design studio known as Love Money Power. It was initially founded by four people, Richard Stott, Vincent Walsh, Sophie Copage and Brook Cronin. They currently add others to their team on an ad hoc basis depending on their projects, but hope to have a semi-permanent team in the near future. With a mission of personal freedom, early retirement and no 9 to 5, who wouldn't want to be a part of their team? Although they do take on commercial jobs, their own work explores social and political issues, such as homelessness. They recently had an exhibition entitled Going with nowhere to go. Much of their work can been seen on their website. Featured above is a sample of Sophie Copage's intricate and beautiful illustration work.

Pete Fowler's world is full of noisy guitars, big hair and cute monsters, all seen through very brightly-colored lenses. We've mentioned the cult graphic artist's work before with toys such as Action Man and his Be@rbrick, but his idiosyncratic style comes through to no better effect than in the new exhibition of paintings that opens today in London at the Stolen Space gallery.

We love the way Australian-based website Sex In Art takes a healthy peek at all things arty and well…sexual. There's some beautiful illustration work up there and some evocative photography. Heck, we're getting a little hot under the collar just thinking about it. While most of the work they feature is work friendly, some of it isn't. Still, it's worth more than a casual...
If you've ever noticed a visually arresting Australian photographer, illustrator, or artist on Cool Hunting, chances are it's a contribution from Lost at E Minor, a site and weekly newsletter published by brothers Zolton and Zac Zavos. But, what you see on CH is only a select sampling of the rich finds the two come up with from the smallest continent and beyond. For...
There was this other beautiful illustration of birds that Scott Wotherspoon did for the Balcony Jump Artists identity that I considered putting up, but I just couldn't help myself. Deviance should never be dished out in moderation! Anyway, other than having a really cool last name, Scott is an illustrator based in lovely London whose personal and commercial work is light, clean, and playful....
The SMS Guerilla Projector is a high powered, home made projection device that can be used to project SMS messages on to buildings, signs or any other surface. Made by Troika, the London based collective of designers and artists, it consists of a mobile phone, camera lens and slide projector. Be sure to check out their site for other brilliant work including an electroprobe...
The wild illustrations of Antonio Carvalho have recently been featured in Pictoplasma, the character illustration book and Web site. His work is inspired by childhood fantasies of creatures hiding in the refrigerator. I think they're all pretty great, except the clowns. Clowns freak me out. But maybe that's what he's going for. Here Antonio shares a personal statement and some of his more recent...
