An engineer’s guide to drinks

The old engineering graphic style on this drink making guide is refreshingly beautiful. Every ingredient has a pattern to represent it, just don't try following it after having the Zombi.

Just like the old stuff

As self confessed fans of Polaroid we were thrilled to see the old Polaroid transfer technique in action with their latest PoGo printer! Watch the video for a frenzy of photo fun, we're off to buy one and give it a go.

Joao Ruas

Finding a replacement for James Jean to create the cover art for Fables was no easy task. However Vertigo have managed to find an artist who was not only as talented as James but can also move the story forwards. Joao Ruas' art is able to convey the emotion and mysticism of the Fables comics. Have a look at his site and be amazed.

The lightning field

In 1977 Walter de Maria placed 400 stainless steel poles in a remote area of the desert around Quemado, New Mexico. The Lighting Field's exact location remains a secret but you can arrange an overnight stay in their cabin in the hope of a strike, we want to go.
