Rocking out and colouring in

Funnily enough I mentioned this contemporary artist colouring book from RxART the other day and then, over the weekend, I stumbled across another reason to grab your Crayolas and get to work - The Indie Rock Coloring Book from Yellow Bird Project. YBP, if you didn't know, is a Montreal-based not-for-profit gang that hooks up with Indie rock groups to produce t-shirts (and now the colouring book) that raise money for charity. Cool no? So, yep, the book is brill and filled with 25 illustrations inspired by the likes of Broken Social Scene, Bloc Party and Devendra Banhart, all dreampt up by the v. talented illustrator Andy J. Miller. And did I mention the book was only $10? Okay, with a little mental math, that works out to, errr, less than 50 cents a masterpiece. Now that's what I call affordable artwork. Oh, and don't worry about your colouring in abilities, YBP kindly recommends that you stay outside the lines.

For more YBP click here to hook yourself up with one of their latest t's, like the one designed by Metric, oh, and I totally recommend you buying Andy J. Miller's limited edition Love Yes Wow poster too (though not before I've ordered mine).

{Giving it} Kiehl's Creme de Corps x KAWS

Giving it is all about my take on what makes a great gift. Okay, perhaps I'm a little over excited this morning (it's either the shot of espresso I just downed or the fact that my guest post just appeared here on Elle Decoration South Africa's lovely blog) but I'm totally digging the mash up between Kiehl's and the grafitti artist KAWS on the Creme de Corps moisturizer. This cool meeting of the minds is all in aid of an admirable US children's charity called RxART, which is all about getting art into hospitals. In fact, if you hop on over to the Kiehl's website you can also catch this limited edition RxART contemporary artists colouring book and crayon combo. Hey, and whether you decide to go for the limited edition Creme de Corps moisturizer, or the colouring book, all net profits go straight to RxART.
