There has been a lot of talk recently in the office about company cars. To stop arguing about type, model, colour etc we came up with this idea of ‘The Ferrari/Porsche Car Cover’ to impress friends and neighbours. Alas penis extension not included.

Art directors, writers, advertising creatives, designers, digital designers, senior, middleweight
and junior needed to work on plenty of stuff like PlayStation, Nike,
Dr Martens, Silver Cross, Christian Aid, Umbro, Nandos etc, etc.
Don’t be shy.

Whilst walking to work this morning I very nearly stood on possibly the largest insect I have ever seen. The small furry like dragon looked like a moth on way too many steroids. However it looked absolutely incredible (on the only day I forget to bring a camera to work). Being as they always get labelled as the poor mans butterfly I thought I would dig out some more specimens to share.

Ecpantheria scribionia
Leopard Moth-

“The immature stage of this moth is a caterpillar, known as the woolly bear.”
“The moth stage of this species is very beautiful. The wings of the moth are solid white, with irregularly shaped black circles all over them giving it the leopard-like appearance. The abdomen is dark blue with orange markings.”

Dryocampa rubicunda
Rosy Maple Moth-

Attacus atlas
The Atlas Moth-
Atlas moths are considered to be the largest moths in the world in terms of total wing surface area (upwards of c. 400 square cm or 65 square inches). Their wingspans are also amongst the largest, from 25-30 cm (10-12 inches). Females are appreciably larger and heavier.

Not sure what this one is, but it looks pretty incredible.

and after some digging I found the one from this morning.

The aptly named Hawk Moth
They are some of the fastest flying insects, capable of flying at over 50 km/h (30 miles per hour)

Finally, is the Case moth who makes their cocoons out of pieces of wood.

After the success of our LOVE Tube-T-Shirt we’ve decided to launch a range of bespoke kitchen accessories, starting off with the LOVE T-Towel Collection (attractive member of staff not included). The full range will be available in the LOVE SHOP when it opens later this year.

Sven is the new manager of Manchester City. We’ve produced a poster campaign. It’s gone down a storm, which is always nice. Good work Rory, Frank and John (a Man Utd fan). Can’t wait for the new season. What rhymes with Sven-Goran Eriksson?

Due to popular (well a bit of) demand, I’ve just put this t-shirt into production. As Si’ mentioned in a previous post, it was originally something I did for a redesigner brief on top design blog The Serif. It got pinged round a few blogs, then ended up in The Guardian Guide. So… if you want to try to stop these ‘noise criminals’ pre-order one now, or even if you just fancy owning / wearing one then e.mail a.rix@lovecreative.com. Oh, and they’ll be £20 plus £5 P&P. Bargain!

Finally a big thanks for Jim at Serif for providing the inspiration for this…
