Underground Map Anyone who’s been to London is familiar with this map. Overwhelming at first – it does illustrate 11 lines and 270 stations – it doesn’t take too long to get accustomed and know how to use it, even for lost tourists. For this, we have to be thankful to Harry Beck, designer of the . . . → Read More: Underground Map Design Courage My Love If you’ve read yesterday’s blog, you already know that we went to Kensington Market on Sunday. It is always a great source of inspiration; enough to inspire two consecutive blog posts! Courage My Love is a lovely little incense-smelling vintage shop that sells all sorts of imported jewelry, beads, clothes, shoes and decoration items . . . → Read More: Courage My Love Street Art in Kensington Market On 24/08/2009 we published a post about a cool picture of a graffiti taken 2 years ago in Kensington Market. We mentionned in that post that we would like to go back and see what it now looks like. Well, we did go during the weekend and were really disappointed: the . . . → Read More: Another cool thing from Kensington Market Sugar Factory Wall We see this building every time we go to Loblaws, it is part of the Redpath Sugar Refinery and Museum.

It really distinguished itself with its 2-colours print, its clean lines and its simply folded beige matte paper. Complete opposite of the other flyers, with . . . → Read More: raaw – Japanese Cuisine Tina Tomato This is Tina Tomato, again the result of the equation CREATIVE PEOPLE + GOOD PHOTOSHOP SKILLS + BOREDOM = WEIRD PHOTOMONTAGE. A cherry tomato, a couple of basil leaves, a friend with a camera, a few Photoshop layers and tadammm, Tina was born. We wish we could somehow find a way to make her . . . → Read More: Tina Tomato – The Sexiest Tomato in TO Street Art – Kensington Market We took that picture in 2007 during our first trip to Toronto together. We like it because it’s different from other graffiti , mostly because of the woman’s hair.
