Laurent Nivalle is a French photographer with a wonderful eye for the classics. Love the designs of the old cars. You might have seen these before but this series taken at the LeMans 24hr race is amazing to look at, the colour in the photographs and the behind the scenes shots make me jealous. This year will definitely be a photography year for me.

Designspiration created by Shelby White of Wanken (which in itself is a great resource!) and also one of iso50‘s regular contributors.
Designspiration is simply a user generated resource of high-quality designed-everything. From architecture to furniture, to typography to photography. Inspired from the many image collected websites such as ffffound.com, Designspiration does a little more with the ability to search and sort images by their colour. Fantastic! Saving you time trawling through pages and pages of material. Even arranging everything into tags makes this a great resource for inspiration and simply finding out what the latest trends are in the design world.
If you want to register you can send your portfolio to the email and if you are lucky, you might get invited…

Nicholas Gurewitch of The Perry Bible Fellowship fame has now started producing comic strips again. Famed for the witty and often dark humour his comics I love coming back to. There is always one or two you can pick as your favourite. These are the comics you print and put on your wall.
(images link to full view)
There are too many to pick from to show here but if you haven’t seen his comics, check them out at pbfcomics.com and if you have seen then, they are definitely worth a re-read.

Display is a site devoted to documenting the history of mid-20th century design through a collection of books and articles. I would love to get my hands on a few of these. There is even a bookstore, if you can spare a few hundred dollars that is.
Check them out over at Display.

this isn’t happiness is a blog by Peter Nidzgorski that I seem to always stumble upon when looking for inspiration, whether it is design, art, typography or photography (women too). It isn’t one of those blogs where everything you see has been plucked from ffffound. It’s really the opposite (the images here end up on ffffound). Images taken from many different sources there is always a fresh stream to wash over you, vintage and modern. It’s one of those blogs where you can end up spending hours going through the pages if you haven’t been on it before, so I pre-warn you.
this isn’t happiness is a blog you must bookmark and keep as your scrapbook for creativity.
(images here taken from the blog itself – images link to source.)
PS. That last image. That’s a digital illustration!

You might have seen this already, but I would love to spent a few weeks and visit these. Soviet monuments built by the former Yugoslavian president in the 1970′s to mark WWII sites. They are fascinating. Some standing and some now rubble. Now all I need is a google map to get me to all of them…
You can view more here.
