noreply@blogger.com (Dutch Uncle Agency) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:42:00 +0000

Typographer Joel Holland has been working with England Netball to help launch High 5, an entry level scheme aimed at kids aged between 9 and 11, tasked with promoting the sport and general fitness.

The nationwide initiative runs a number of projects, from working with schools to create Girls vs. Boys style mini leagues, through to getting older teens back into the game. One of this years highlights will be giving young girls the chance to play Netball in the facilities of their local football club, providing safe supervised sport in a professional location, as well as boosting links between the clubs and their local communities.

Liverpool FC are spearheading the operation, and it's hoped other Premier clubs will get involved in this great scheme.

noreply@blogger.com (Dutch Uncle Agency) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:02:00 +0000

March, among other things, is also known as World Water Month, and if you'll be residing in the US during that time, you should keep an eye out for the UNICEF logo around town.

Tavis Coburn has worked with UNICEF and design studio Droga5 to create this years campaign for the Tap Project, a charity event being rolled out in participating restaurants and communities across North America. It gives you the chance to help the citizens of Third World Countries by funding the most basic of modern requirements; access to fresh, clean water.

All you have to do is pay $1 for your glass of tap water. If you would like to become part of the movement, visit the UNICEF page here, where lists of restaurants in your town or city will become available nearer the month.

And for those of us who live outside the USA, you can donate here.

4-Piece Souvenir Pint Glasses by Aesthetic Apparatus

Nice Beer Lake is a well-lubricated wonderland, nestled on the foamy shores of a lake filled with pure artesian spring beer. Drink your worries away alongside magical brew-filled balloons, drunk whales, belligerent clouds, and a chorus of orphan drops of beer that only know the theme song from Laverne & Shirley.

While the location of this legendary amber lake is hidden to most of the world, anyone can transport themselves to the town and share in it's many ill-conceived adventures. Just drink a number of beers from the town’s souvenir glassware, lie on the floor, close your eyes, rub them really hard and shout, “Here comes my smile!”

Lyndon Hayes - Artistic.ly launches new way to buy art prints

noreply@blogger.com (Dutch Uncle Agency) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:07:00 +0000

Lyndon Hayes takes part in a special gallery show to launch new art buying site Artistic.ly, which has its Private View tonight.

The scheme aims to bridge the gap between the limited art print you brought at that show which is kept under your coffee table and the actual, hanging framed piece of art it's intended to be.

"We believe there is a gap in the market for people who want exclusive, ready-framed art that costs less than most galleries sell their unframed editions for," explains James Old, and with a collection of 49 artists taking part, including Lyndons piece shown above, it's sure to be a success.

The collection can be found and purchased from the Artistic.ly homepage here.
