Their studio is formed by a married team: s collaboration between the graphical designer wife Amy, and musician husband Noah. Pinecone + Chickadee silkscreen all their imaginative artwork onto a [...]
Ever wished that you could have a different head? Maybe you’d like the chiseled features of Michelangelo’s David, the wide-eyed elegance of Audrey Hepburn, the winning smile of Barak Obama, Marylin Monroe’s iconic beauty spot or Elvis Presley’s upper lip?

They say that as you get older you experience a second childhood. You can see it happening everywhere, we’d rather munch on Party Rings than canapes, wear plimsols instead of lace up shoes and a Sunday afternoon nap is essential.

Patience is a virtue. With a huge array of [...]

But in reality he’s no one more [...]
By Flea | November 4, 2008 Today is the big day and all anyone can seem to talk about (apart from the credit crunch and Kerry Katona slurring her words on This Morning) is the US Presidential race. It’s all policies, plumbers and Saturday Night Live, but fresh from the revelation that Sarah Palin might have had her lipliner tattooed on, [...]
By Alex | September 7, 2008 Over in Silicon Valley, near San Francisco and home to hundreds, if not thousands, of web companies, a company exists that sends you a bag of “schwag” in return for a monthly subscription. This bag of schwag is not the spoils of some bank heist but t-shirts and stickers from web 2.0 start-ups. Each month subscribers [...]
