[COOL SHIT] Noisy Dog Studio Pet Portraits

So, duh: there are like a bajillion and one pet portrait artists out there these days. And I'm sure loads of them are super talented and paint pretty pictures of all your puppies-n-shit, but my favorite, favorite-ist, very fave-y pet portrait artist that I've come across through the years is Leigh from Noisy Dog Studio, and she's having a gigantic sale right now!

Leigh has been featured all over the place, from Design Sponge to Domino Magazine (cue tear to slowly roll down my cheek, I miss you Domino!), and trust me: her shit RULEZ. I'm lucky enough to have had Leigh paint a portrait of Oliver and if our apt caught on fire, this is like one of the first things I'd grab.

[DUDE DESIGN] Diesel Launches Home Line

So Diesel (of the jeans-sunglasses-n-shit Diesel) has launched a home collection in the US.

Prices range from $350-$14,500 and encompass furniture, lighting and decor across three main themes: music, retro and discovery (whatever the fuck that means).

Unsurprisingly, all this shit looks like vampires, and sex, and rock bands. It's all very slick and polished and hard-lined, and well...dude-ish.

But I kind of dig it in a weird way...you??
