No, it's not the crisps. But this blog is still pretty tasty!
Basically,if you like sock monkeys, cuddly monsters, freaky toys and quirky games/animations/pics then you will thoroughly enjoy Monster-Munch and it's links.

Male Humour Competition Winner

By Gemma

The judges have deliberated hard over the entries and have finally selected Gemma's entry above as the winner!
"We liked this idea as it takes a well recognised icon and adds a twist. It would work well with or without a caption".

Additionally the judges selected four runners up which are listed below in no order.

By Bradders
"This would make a really nice series of cards".

By Brent
"Simple imagery that worked well in its own and without a caption".

By Agata
"Nice idea and could work well in different scenarios".

By HB
"Nice combination of graphics and type and a great idea".

The judges also wanted to mention the entry by Little Ted which they were very impressed by but felt it did not answer the brief specifically as it was not male directed.

By Little Ted

Congratulations to everyone and well done and thank you for entering!!
Be sure to check out the latest competition which is to design a Christmas Character.

Street Art

The first commission to use the Tate Modern's iconic river façade, and the first major public museum display of street art in London, Tate Modern presents the work of six internationally acclaimed artists whose work is intricately linked to the urban environment:

Blu from Bologna, Italy; the artist collective Faile from New York, USA; JR from Paris, France; Nunca and Os Gêmeos, both from São Paulo, Brazil and Sixeart from Barcelona, Spain.

Various events will take place during the exhibition, including an interactive evening with experimental New York artists Graffiti Research Lab, refacing Tate Modern with graffiti light projections and Street Art Walking Tours.

Street Art will be at the Tate Modern until 25th August go here to see the full details and list of events.

Street & Studio: An Urban History of Photography

Tate has partnered Flickr and Blurb to invite you to contribute your own urban portrait to a unique photo book, Street or Studio.

You will need to submit your photograph to the Flickr group Street or Studio before 27 July 2008 and you can read the full instructions here.

All submissions will be  posted and shared on Tate Online and displayed on a screen in the gallery.

After submissions close on 27 July, 100 photographs will be selected by a panel of curators, artists, photographers and others to form the book. The 100 will also form a slideshow in the gallery and be archived on Tate Online as part of the exhibition's website.

The book will be produced using Blurb and if your photo is selected you will receive a free copy of the book which will also be available from the online Blurb bookstore.

Faces In Places

This is a really cool blog of photographs featuring "Faces In Places" have a look and be inspired!

Jeff Kulack

Here's a Canadian gent who's creating a good mix of illustration, type and graphic design you can visit his site here.

 

Gary Panter

Another illustrator/designer that I like is Garry Panter, he has an unusual style. Perhaps is most notable work is designing the set for the Pee Wee Herman TV show.
