As a freelance graphic designer, I can certainly attest to the importance of separating your work and home environment. At least for me, there's just too many distractions when working from home, such as the fridge, TV, and of course your nice comfy bed. That's why there's the OfficePod!

According to their website: "The ability to work from home is a trend that is here to stay. Technology allows it, legislation permits it and employers often now encourage it. An OfficePOD provides a working environment that is separate to home life."

I'm always impressed when someone can make something small and minimal look so clean and contemporary. Of course, the expert photography might be embellishing the interior size just a bit. Take a look at OfficePod's website for more information.

I've always been a big fan of the retro look and feel of movies and animations circa 50s, 60s and 70s. So when artist Kevin Dart, animator Stephane Coedel and composer Cyrille Marchesseau collaborated on a mock retro movie trailer for a fictional 007 style spy movie, I had to see it for myself. The production feels like what would happen if you merged the title sequence from Catch Me if You Can with the artwork of Shag. It's absolutely brilliant, and was created to coincide with the release of Kevin Dart's new book, "Seductive Espionage". For more information, visit Fleet Street Scandal.

There's something awe-inspiring about depictions of larger then life vehicles that could help mankind explore previously unreachable places, be it here or in the great beyond. Artist Daniel Simon shares his incredible sketches and models in his 176 page book, Cosmic Motors. The book not only includes his collection of fantasy vehicles, but also comes with the very creative hypothetical background of the vehicle manufacturing company, it's vehicle specs and their pilots.
