Smirnoff Australia Limited Edition

Smirnoff Australia are releasing 2 limited edition "twisting" bottle designs. One by Beastman, one by Nanami Cowdroy. In an interesting social media move, Beastman has taken over the Smirnoff Facebook Page. The virtual peek into his studio is worth checking out. Visit: www.startpure.com.au

Oxford Street Design Store

Oxford Street Design Store opens in Sydney at the end of February, and the ladies in charge (Alex De Bonis and Louise Helliwell) are looking for designers, artists and any other creatives to submit work which will then be sold in-store. The catch? Everything in store is sold for less than a $20 price point.

As part of the council's Lower Oxford Street Cultural and Creative use kick-starter, this design store is only popped up for 6 months so follow the links and drop them a line.

Keep your eyes peeled for the store launch too, there will be plenty of workshops and talks happening along the way!

Neverfail Art Coolers

Idle gossip around the water cooler has never looked this enticing. The clever people at Neverfail have released a smart looking artist series featuring the works of Beci Orpin (pictured above), Ghostpatrol and Twoone. Not only that, you can customise your own. Slick site by the team at Future Buro to back it all up too. Go get yourself one now and hopefully fine art can turn your office politics into something positive.

Creative Spirit

A truly worthy and admirable initiative from the team at Droga5 is Creative Spirit which encourages creative agencies to hire a disabled person full time. Agencies around Australia are being asked to get involved to try and help change the life of someone living with a disability. To get involved, please visit http://www.creativespirit.org.au for more information.
