Well as you may or may not know, Laced has finally opened up in the new spot on the ground level. After months of saying “not too long” to inquisitive customers we can finally say “Here it is! But it’s not quite done…”. Anyway regardless it’s awesome to finally be down in the public eye. To coincide with the new space we decided to update the store logo and drop some fresh new store tee designs. These four are the first guys, created by yours truly. My personal favourite has to be the Bones tee, although all of them are quite dear to me for obvious reasons.

Each tee is limited to just 20 units, and they can be snatched up either online or in-store.

Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve made a “You Ain’t Up On This” post, but now seemed like a good time to start. The Opening Hours is dedicated to keeping you up-to-date with what’s going on with Australia’s creative minds. As they put it: “Our aim is to bring the latest in Australia’s exhibitions, vandalism, creative ism, events, accidents and exploits to help you get through the work day.“

Just a quick heads up to anyone wanting to get their hands on one of the creations from last month’s Mo Munny Mo Problems exhibit, with the auctions ending on Ebay this week you’re running out of time! Right now there’s some amazing pieces to be had at ridiculously low prices. Do yourself a favour and show some love for the artists that went out of their way to make these customs. Check it all and make a bid here.

- t, which one(s) will you be chasing? I know I’ve got a few on my watch list.

Back in September Taz gave you a preview of Colab Eyewear’s project with Brisbane’s own Anthony Lister. Now I can inform you that the sunnies created by the misfit-come-artist are available for purchase on Colab’s site. The three styles are fairly general looking except for the “mask” provided with the first 250 pairs of the “Vacation in the Sun” frames (pictured above). These are probably the most “Lister” of all the pieces and are sure to have people notice you at least.

- t, word up Brisbane!

If you’re into design even in any way, you’ll understand how important the name ‘EAMES’ is.  I’m looking forward to seeing this documentary about the legendary design house, who have undoubtedly influenced the world in which we live today.

-S,

You may already know about this firm, if not chances are you’ve come across their work unwittingly at some point. House Industries have long been an organisation that consistently creates product; whether it be typography, apparel, sculpture or prints, that really appeal to me. Just stumbled across a little video that sums up what they do and thought it was pretty nifty.

The above is a preview of the short run cover for the 24h issue of Acclaim which takes cues from “Fantasy”, the cover art is by Swedish artist Kilian Eng.

With the Brisbane leg of 2011′s Semi-Permanent conventions fast approaching, a good deal of the speakers list has been announced and ticketing information has been made available. Some really interesting people are making the trek to Brisbane including Reg Mombassa (of Mambo and Deus Ex Machina fame) and badass typographer Gemma O’Brien.

Tickets are being given out at discounted rates if you grab them early so get to it!

Harxest is a website headed up by a team out of Melbourne with some really cool articles, some great features that dive into spaces of professionals and artists and a eclectic collection of posts.

Honestly the video wasn’t what I was expecting, probably because they don’t want to show you the factory where the wood is formed as it isn’t as flash looking. Still, the Eames lounge chair is a legend and either of us wouldn’t turn one down given the chance (aka money).
