Anyway, I love it.
Stephane's work can currently be seen at Oxford's Museum of History of Science's Steampunk Exhibition.

Stephane Halleux
I don't quite know how to describe the work of Belgian artist Stephane Halleux… it's not quite Steampunk, although it certainly has a retro futuristic vibe it's maybe more akin to the dystopian future imagined in Terry Gilliam's masterpiece Brazil. So take a large dose of Gilliam, add in a bit of the dark side of Tim Burton, and an equally large portion of Michael Bentine's Potty Time, along with a pinch of (the previously posted) Bennett's Robot Works, and you might start to get a flavour.
This gives me the horn… (sorry).
Designer Matt Richmond brings us this stylishly antique take on the iPhone dock.
With acoustic amplification only (none of that fussy, electronic stuff), it's a fantastically quirky juxtaposition of ancient and modern. He'll flog you one for about $200, (apparently).

Photoshop fridge magnets
Photoshop user? Got a fridge? You need these fridge magnets! Get a set for work too!
Or, if you're more scientific than artistic, you might want to check out the Periodic table fridge magnets.

Smart Vinyl
Simple really, Smart Vinyl from Hu2 Design have created a range of funky stickers for the home (or office) that can be applied directly to a wall, or any flat, clean surface that add a bit of personality and fun.
The designs are great, often humorous (I LOVE the toilet monster), and you can even have your own picture 'posterized' and made into a sticker. As they say on their website, let the pictures do the talking!

Font of the Week – and it's FREE!
I've been a bit lax on my "Font of the Week" feature, but here's a real cracker to make up for it… and you can also download it for free from FontFabric.
It's called VAL, and it's designed by… well, I can't actually see who the designer is, which is a shame, cos I like to give credit where it's due, but nice work fella, whoever you are!
VAL's a great, fat'n'funky face, and there's some great examples of how it can be used below.
Check out the FontFabric site for more freebies, and a rather nice tutorial on making a multicoloured text effect.
