The company that produces the lamp is called SUCK UK, based in East London. They have so many cool items, and do most of the designing in-house. But they also collab with people, and in the case of the BookRest Lamp, they teamed up with Lee Sang Gin.

The lamp is made with frosted glass, which provides ideal reading light, and when you’re done for the time being, you can place your book on top, creating a little house AND bookmark where you left off!

SUCK UK has been very generous in giving us one to give away to one of you! Although they are based in the UK, they have sent us one with a US plug, so this contest is open to US residents only.

It’s been a long time coming, but after about a year of freelance work, NO THEFT has finally got his portfolio up!!! It’s still in it’s first phase, with more artwork on posters, shirts, albums, and logos on the way. He continually amazes me and ups his game each and every time. He work is so clean and esthetically sound and it’s been a real honor and pleasure to work with him. Please check out his site www.notheftdom.com and don’t hesitate to contact him if you need any work done!

Keep up the great work brother! Also, if you want to follow him on Twitter, he’s at www.twitter.com/NOTHEFT

Whenever I get back to Chicago I make it a point to stop in CB2 to see their latest. Just found about their him/hers throwback cycle set!  Republic Frame / Shimano Shifters / Custom Yellow Kenda Tires just for starters. Just in time for the summer! I like the old cycle / cruiser feel, so clean, great usage of other respected cycle/parts manufacturing too. Bravo!

Jeff Finley is in the band Parachute Journalists, a ‘indie/folk/pop punk band’ from Ohio. He has created several tasty covers for each song on their site that you can download for free! These are my favorite of them.

FIELD NOTES recently did a ltd. black cover letter press version of their handy notebooks. They’re all gone already, but this dreamy video captures the whole process, TOTALLY geeking out on it. YUM

Johnny Selman is doing a poster a day based on BBC headlines. It’s a quick turn around that wonderfully reflects the nature of events in our dynamic world. I enjoy the emotions/messages they deliver as well as how its NOT all negative. High five! Subscribe to his RSS and get a nicely designed headline everyday.
