Very impressed by Atelier Ji’s quality, saw a few prints they have made on behalf of their clients at the Hepworth Wakefield Print Fair. Their flyer was printed on lovely paper, the (super kind) guy at the stall said it was Somerset. Somerset satin 300gsm? Lots of prints on their site seem to be on that stock.
Particularly liked Out of Sight by James Seow.

The Fermi Paradox, explained by Wait But Why
Scientists estimate that there are over 100,000 intelligent alien civilizations in our galaxy—but we never see evidence of anyone. Here are 13 reasons why.
This is a fantastic explanation of the Fermi Paradox. The Great Filter concept is fascinating, but the optimist in me wants to agree with explanation group 2 because the possibility of us being completely alone in the universe is too much. I’d hope for possibilities 9 or 10. Possibility 5 is just scary…

A Korean street food and takeaway place on Old Street in London. Got to go there with an old friend and her charming other half during a too-quick trip down south. 10/10 would go again.

Quite like this person’s archive of patches from armed forces around the world that are based on beer labels. There must be so many out there.

The Mac Photographic Archive was started by GSA graduate Lizzie Malcolm and Daniel Powers following the fire that consumed much of the Macintosh Building at the Glasgow School of Art. Anyone who has ever visited the building can upload photos in an effort to digitally preserve the history of the iconic building. The archive is growing, but they’re still lacking photos of some areas (particularly the studios). If you have something to share, contribute.

House on the rock in Wisconsin is a very strange collection of collections.
Need to go. It looks almost identical to a house that was in a recurring dream I had as a kid. It was the house I wanted to live in, with a room full of pianos of all shapes and sizes lining the walls, ceiling and floor, another room that was just an interconnected series of waterfalls and water-slides that defied gravity. I think this is it’s nearest IRL replica.
It’s also supposedly featured in one of Neil Gaiman’s books? Another big reason it’s at the top of my travel to do list.
