Next.co.uk are going Kitsch

Next.co.uk and The World of Kitsch are about to embark on an exciting relationship. On Wednesday I will be travelling to Ipswich to meet with other home & style bloggers at Next's brand new Superstore. In preparation I was browsing www.Next.co.uk home section and now I can't wait to get chatting to the people involved in putting together their current collections. This is after just getting as far as their wallpaper designs!

Leopard print wallpaper? Wood print photo mural type wallpaper? FLAMINGO WALLPAPER? It looks like its going to be a beautiful relationship.

Beastie Boys Motivational Print from Hand Drawn Creative

Who better than the Beastie Boys to motivate you in the workspace. I'll let artist Neal McCullough tell it in his own words.

"A Million Ideas

Based on an inspirational lyric from The Beastie Boys 1991 album "Check Your Head" I've played with the Duke & Lavendria typefaces from Lost Type to create this print I'd originally designed to hang in my own workspace as a confidence boosting piece to inspire me through mental blocks.

I've hand pulled only 20 of these 500x700mm(19.5" x 27.5") prints on Lambeth cartridge 350gsm and all prints are signed and numbered by myself. Each print costs only £25.00 ($40.00)."

These prints are available now at this link: http://www.etsy.com/listing/107161688/a-million-ideas-a-limited-edition-hand
