Simon Laliberte's Poilu

After a bit of a dull week it's always nice to end it a high. I came across this packaging project by Canadian Simon Laliberte a couple of weeks and my first thought was "Ha BRILLIANT!", I knew I had to share it. This sort of packaging design really does brighten my days up, it's this kind of humorous thinking that inspires me and makes me want to get creating something of my own.

Laliberte has cleverly thought of a way of making somewhere which is usually pretty plain and turned it into something humorous and endearing. Humor does it everything for me. I know little about the designer other than the concept above were created for a uni project. Pretty cool ay?

Check out more of Simon Lailberte's work here.

Me and Hollie are off to Brighton for a few days next week (Mon to Thurs, maybe spending the last day in London) so no posts for a wee while. The Berlin trip fell through due to lack of funds, so we're holidaying on familiar soil. If you have any recomendations please leave a comment or tweet me @mat_buckets

    Shame about Berlin. But it will work out ONE day - and perhaps I can collect a few more recommendations until then :)

  15. These brought a smile to my face. I love packaging and art like this, so clever. I'd like to have them just as decor, forget about actually using the brushes. haha.

    Hope your trip is going well! Hopefully you're not getting trapped in the rain or any other harsh weather.
