Food and Art. An interesting combo, but one that makes sense in every way.
Three sisters, Jessica, Georgia and Maxine had the idea a long time ago to approach a bookful of artists to illustrate chosen recipes. An interesting spin on the modern cookbook. The book has now been published and features artists like Ears, Numskull, Jimmy Dodd, Kitty Horton, Max Berry and loads more. Check out a few sneaky shots below, or find out more on their website.
Ok. So after this, we’ll stop it with the Joel Birch stuff. Promise…
Joel was in town recently for his show “Hopeless & Romantic” and got busy on a number of projects. His exhibition, a handful of walls and finally, the 3rd installament of our “The Hours” Limited Edition T-Shirt Series.
The Hours Limited Edition T-Shirt Series is an ongoing collaboration project between The Hours, Element Skateboards and Aisle6ix Industries. Artists are invited by The Hours to design their own The Hours shirt graphic, the artwork is then hand screen printed in Sydney by Aisle6ix Industries onto an edition of 50 t-shirts made by Element Skateboards.
Joel’s tee was for sale at the opening, and we only have a bunch left. If you’d like one of them, I’d suggest getting in quick.

Joel Birch opened his show “Hopeless & Romantic” at The Tate last week and the gallery quickly packed out with fans snapping up his originals and prints that were on show. This is Joel’s second Sydney show and demonstrates his unique style of typography and continued use of black and white. Keeping things simple, but evolving his work to be more and more detailed with each collection.
Along with this new body of work, we (The Hours) launched our next series of limited edition t-shirts. Joel created an exclusive font piece that was on sale at the gallery, and will be available online from tomorrow.
See more from Joel here.
