A lot of artists are adopting blogs to show their work. The World of Wes (or as he calls it WOW) is more of a blog showing the life around his work and of course his paintings. Putting up post of Christmas trees and his recently dead parrot (sorry Wes) alongside his great little art canvases just fits. He works with smaller canvases that almost create a comic book frame feel. Given he has a painting of two cacti in love or the one of aliens preparing to blow up the earth, a comic reference might seems like the right thing. Check out his blog for a little look at the context surrounding an artist we hope to hear from more.

You don’t know where to go, but you know what you feel. As long as that feeling is naughty, hungover, energetic, romantic, sophisticated, chilled, girly, manly or broke then we know how to help you narrow down your search. New website IFeelLondon.com has just launched a guide to the city based on the above moods. Simply click how you feel and nice map will pop up showing you where to engage that feeling. Plus, they make it super easy to edit/add in placemarks. Who would have guessed East London would have so many places for the hungover? The maps are also available for London, NYC and Toronto.

It’s fashion week in London, and if it’s anything like last week in New York it should bring out some really fashionable people and some outfits the general public might raise their eyes at. In an effort to challenge images of masculinity the Forgotten Peacock is an art installation that takes your average man and lets him rediscover his hidden peacock. We had a look at some of the outfits and we definitely admit they are challenging, but they push fashion to the level of an art form. Extravagant luxury suits were created by up and coming stars in the fashion world specifically for this installation and is supervised by an academic study men’s approach to their image. We look forward to seeing a couple good English blokes trade their soccer jerseys for one of the half suit/dress things of the Forgotten Peacock project. The project has two events, the first is this Friday at the Design Musuem as part of London’s fashon week, then again in October as a part of the Brunswick. Check the Forgotten Peacock website for tickets and times.

We aren’t telling you what the blank stands for and neither is Fred Terral, the designer of this great new print “____ The Planet.” The idea is that you have to make that decision, rather your actions make the decision. Obviously, politics have been swimming around our heads as much as anyone lately, so we keep finding ourselves at the Alternative Motivational Poster website for our inspiration (especially during the RNC). Have a look at some really great prints with a progressive message and cheap prices. And just because it wouldn’t be appropriate otherwise, everything from the ink to the tube used for postage is made from environmentally responsible products.

Snowboarders often migrate to the skateboard for the summer. The guys at Blotto Photto are no different — except they also document their efforts with soaring photographs and websites. Summer is about to end and they’ve got some new things to show from their skateboarding season before booking their snowboarding trips. Check out their new website featuring some amazing photographs for skating/snowboarding. If you were a fan of the 28 Days of Winter book we blogged about about a year ago, its the skateboarder’s turn with (UP)Rising Sonz! The book captures the excitement of first stepping on a skateboard photographs of the sport and the culture.

There is something really fun about describing things as French. Of course, it depends on the context; on JoshSpear.com we usually mean eloquent design mixed with some street art — mixed with awesome. So what if I told you there is a new site that focuses on the emergent French design and art print market and it is in English? L'affiche Moderne is something along the lines of threadless, in the sense that artist are invited to submit works. In great French fashion there isn't a user community to vote on what's cool. The owners of the site deciding if they like it or not. If they do, 300 limited edition prints are made on some nice paper and they go on sale. It's that easy, and that judgmental. Fortunately, they have great taste and prices — prints are 29â‚ or 59â‚. Go impress your Francophile friends.

“I am not a number! I am a free man!” Or, at least that’s what The Prisoner wanted you to believe. We Are Numbers is a worldwide community experiment / tracking system / T-shirt pitch that wants you to be an individual — in a completely hive-mentality sort of way. The mysterious Number One (aka Dutch designer Twan Verdonck) was tired of the disposable nature of couture fashion — what with its “one minute you’re in, the next you’re out” Heidi Klumisms — so, he decided to make just one style; a handmade T-shirt with your own unique number. Dozens of new members have already posted their YouTube videos, and the first 1000 customers will appear in a book. We just hope the guy who gets 69 isn’t a complete a-hole.

Tea is serious business here in England. Even young hip kids that you would think would be over the whole stereotype of a culture, still swear by a good cup of tea. So it should come as no surprise that tea parties have gone Web 2.0 in England. The Website makethetea.com is out to help organize teatime by ending the fuss over whose turn it is to brew the tea. The site takes into account your different tea drinking groups as well as each person's taste, then selects the brewer at random. Thus giving a system to this age old tradition. What will the Internet do next?
