Delicious new stuff from Australian stationery company, Lox & Savvy. Via Jesse, who always finds the most interesting paper products.

Single-use, biodegradable, compostable and gosh-darn sexy. By Japanese company, WASARA, they’re reasonably priced for sale (wholesale and smaller retail packs) here. Via Graphic-Exchange.

I promise it was with entirely squeaky clean intentions that produced these vintage condoms, served straight up from a google image search on vintage packaging. Easy on the eyes and downright hilarious to boot. There’s everything from the completely obvious double-entendres to the so discreet it’s entirely hidden what, exactly, the packaging is for. And the creepy “medical use only, disease prevention” terminology… Eeeesh?! Really?! Anyway, there is a whole slew of these here (mildly NSFW). They’re compiled from an auction and each tin includes selling price alongside more witty commentary. Apparently prophylactics are quite the big ticket item. Who knew? Also, despite one particular brand’s claim to be “guaranteed indefinitely” let’s all just go ahead and give that an enthusiastic No Way Jose, agreed?

Darren Booth tossed this gem of an link my way, the fantastic paintings & illustrations of Jacqui Oakley. I love the more modern take on the ornamental, Art Nouveau type look. Colors are great too.

I ffffound Alvin Diec’s portfolio site today and it’s a goody. Lovely sophisticated typography in his branding work. Nice set of posters too!

Everyone’s favorite screenprinting duo, Aesthetic Apparatus have done a line of packaging for a high-end tea company. Sorry, “Damn Fine Tea” as Andrews & Dunham Tea Company calls their products. Don’t you just want to pick up these tins and feel them? I doubt the photos do them their due. Found via OMG Posters.
