The Master of GardenSilly and good friend of Thunder Chunky Mr Eeshaun (who we Interviewed way back in December 2008) is back with his 2nd Solo Exhibition ‘Anything Also Anyhow’.

Kicking off today, featuring new paintings and drawings, in conjunction with the new store opening of ActuallyActually, Singapore. Eeshaun must be one of the hardest working illustrators in Singapore. Looking at his portfolio puts most of us to shame. In just 2009 alone, he’s produced over 25+ new pieces of work, with clients ranging from Ikea, Yahoo, Hewlett Packard, Addidas to name a few. This exhibition shows off his immense talent and creativity, infecting us with his own unique style.

inspiration: Super7 | International Toy Pirates

super7-main1

Shortly after discovering Brandi Milne’s ‘So Good For Little Bunnies’, I thought my good luck can’t get better than this, but that day was a lucky day, a very lucky day indeed. A golden light suddenly appeared out of nowhere, glimmering in the corner of my eyes. I reached out and picked up this shiny object, and gasped, it was the Super7 ‘International Toy Pirates Book’.

Firstly, that gold foil stamped Slip Case is just too beautiful, and the price, ¬£12 (originally ¬£25), Its was opened from its plastic wrap and the edges were slightly scratched, but other than that, in perfect condition. No thought was needed after that, it felt like it was my birthday. The layout, photography, and collection is perfect, unrivaled in its detail and content. It’s my new favourite book (or mook, as they call it) and very very hard to put down.

“The term “mook” has long been used to describe printed material that is neither a book, nor a magazine, but the ultimate fusion of the two. Super 7 has elevated this form to the highest possible pinnacle with the new redesign of their magazine. Elegant to the extreme in a slip cased black and gold Flexi-bound, this beautifully designed and immaculately photographed title is a museum quality “catalogue” for collectors, aficionados or self proclaimed “toy geeks”. Super 7 ‚Äì International Toy Pirates takes you on a nostalgic journey to the endless days of youth and summers spent watching Godzilla, Mothra and Rodan battle for world supremacy.
