A day late! But I was at Iron Man 2 last night (which is most excellent) so didn’t get a chance to post this. Just a few things this week..!

Lovely work by artist Ben Heine, see more on his flickr.

Great seller on etsy who upcycles vintage crockery into pieces of wonderfulness. Ranging from dinosaurs to star wars, check them out here.

Hey guys, sorry about the lack of posts this week, been a busy one! I do have several recipes and some other goodies lined up as drafts though that I’ll work on this weekend and schedule for next week :) Also, this week I will not put this stuff in lists. NO MORE SEMANTICS FOR ME THIS WEEK! I tell you. For the past few days I’ve spent a good chunk of time c&p’ing things from word documents and adding freakin’ ols, uls and p tags all over the shop. Not fun.

It was Chuck Norris’ birthday this week, so here’s a celebratory Chuck Norris chopping board. Did you know that Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door? Oh, Chuck.

Oh pretty birdy mugs, you’re nice. I like snobby birds. Via weebirdy

Amazing balloon sculptures by Hans Hemmert, love the deflated tank. Via booooooom

Some of the best tattoos I’ve seen in a while, from New York tattoo artist Amanda Wachob. I’ve been trying to pin-point the style I want my foot tattoos in, and I wanted a kind of washy japanese/chinese ink stroke style. The bird here is just a perfect example. So, do I fly to New York or find someone local who works the same way?! hah.

Adam, don’t be afraid if one day you come back and our cats are sharks… or mother fucking space ships!

Some geeks transformed a room into an amazing dungeons and dragons den, it even has a sounds system and a fog machine (FOG MACHINE!). All it needs now is a gunge-machine for when that huge fucking gelatinous cube comes at you. Dude. Via boingboing

Cayuuuuuuttttties!

Also on unplggd this week there’s this sweet Mario and Luigi styled furniture. I know I’m like 25 and all that, but I would SERIOUSLY consider this for my next house. Altho I’m still wanting a raptor bed. Almost bought dinosaur bed covers in tesco. Amazing.
