Non-fiction
I'm only halfway or so into this book from legendary music producer, Rick Rubin, but feel I can already heartily recommend it.
Film
I've wanted to watch this directorial debut from Charlotte Wells for a while as it got such great write ups when it was released.
iPad animation app
Procreate Dreams is due to be released soon. It's an all-new animation app from the same folks who make the brilliant and wildly successful Procreate drawing app.
Plantcare app
There's lots of apps around to help you care for your plants, but this one has stuck for me.
Paper Artist
Love these colourful and intricate hand-cut paper artworks by Taiwanese-American artist, Huntz Liu.
Book
I've really enjoyed this book from Russell Davies (and friends). It's a helpful reminder that creativity is a habit we need to nurture.
Online Bookshop
I recently bought this little haul of design books (which are very good btw) and was reminded how brilliant an outlet Counterprint is.
Illustrator
Agathe Singer is an artist and illustrator from France with a background in graphic design. She often works in gouache, creating vibrant, colourful art with themes of femininity and nature.

These compositions by McMennamy are really great. He takes two (often unrelated) photos and fuses them together to make a new thought-provoking image.
Pixelart Scenes
I get deep nostalgia for my teenage years when I see these pixelart loops by Aleksey.
Animated Short
We seem less able to celebrate quiet, thoughtful people as much as we should imo.
Coffee tables
Absolutely love these fantastic side table animals by Marco Oggian — beautiful, unusual shapes with bold, colourful graphics. What's not to love?
TV Series
This is a really good little Australian comedy series written by and starring Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer.
