Pixels+Points is currently branding the store’s print and online presence, starting with the logo design (inspired by “papel picado”). The colors and typography reflect the warmth and rich textures of traditional Mexican architecture and décor.

5 days in Dubai by Philip Bloom
Hopping onto the Banksy bandwagon here are a couple of art works that represent Britain.
The way life should be, is the first significant collaboration between artists Justy Phillips and Margaret Woodward. In its infancy, this is an ambitious, long term collaborative project, which comments on the realities and representations of contemporary Australian culture. This work explores the nature of travel, tourism, experience, truth, fiction and the depiction of Australian culture and society through collected tourist ephemera – using hundreds of vintage souvenir linen tea towels – collected from towns all over the country. These tea towels are being used to re-upholster everyday mid-century footstools. Little, domestic representations of place and a society in transition. via theinspirationroom.com
