Enforced Eames Education for Your Future Graphic Genius

Down In Fraggle Rock, by Timmy White

I know I'm usually pestering you, dear readers, to vote for me in various blog awards, but today I'm asking you to extend your vote clicking fingers and support my friend Timmy White.

Timmy has entered a competition to have his artwork featured on merchandise celebrating 30 years of Fraggle Rock. If he wins he also gets to visit Jim Henson Studios in LA and experience a private tour, which I know would delight him no end!

Please follow the link and vote with your Facebook account, very quick and easy. Thanks.

Real Life, Full-size Simpsons' House

This replica house was created as a prize in a Pepsi giveaway in the States. Unfortunately the winner chose a cash prize alternative, rendering the hard work of designers who watched over 100 episodes to get the house right, pointless.

The house was stripped and sold on. I think they missed a trick renting it as a novelty holiday destination.

The Remains of the Games. Own a Piece of Olympic History as the Village's Fixtures & Fittings Go on Sale to All.

The categories such as English Heritage, Countryside & Seaside, it's the luck of the draw whether you get Ennis' Lampshade, Mo's rug or Bolt's bunk bed.

The Olympic Village's guts are being sold, fairly cheaply, at www.RemainsofTheGames.co.uk
