Zoinks! Cartoon Looking Messenger, Travel and Handbags for Guys and Girls.

Hand bags, messenger bags, travel bags and camera bags for both guys and girls by Taipei-based design duo, Chay Su and Rika Lin of JumpFromPaper look like flat cartoons but instead are truly three-dimensional functional bags.






Made of brightly colored polyester with thick black outlines, the bags appear as two dimensional drawings, but they actually expand with a zippered bottom and are roomy enough to accommodate personal belongs and even a laptop.











Easy to care for, the bags can be cleaned with a simple cloth.

Goodnight Keith Moon. A Bedtime Story For The Twisted.

Goodnight Keith Moon is a parody of the ubiquitous parent staple, illustrated children's book "Goodnight Moon" , written by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Clement Hurd and first published in 1947.



The adult riff on the classic bedtime story places late and legendary The Who drummer Keith Moon, who was known for his self-destructive behavior, in the title role. The new book, written and illustrated by Michiganers Bruce Worden and Clare Cross, has a similar look as the original at first glance. But upon closer inspection, broken booze bottles, busted drumsticks and even the ghost of Mama Cass make an appearance.

The Book (click on the images to enlarge them):























Both authors have big plans for the future regarding their writing career — Worden has written a graphic novel on Eric Clapton and the legend of Robert Johnson and has started on a few other children’s book projects. More information on Worden can be found at SketchSketchSketch.com.

Meanwhile, Cross is working on a World War I novel and gathering poetry, fiction and short memoir pieces to place in a literary journal. She is also currently putting together a website, which will show her published works and future plans.
