PURE FIRE North Carolina beat maker Constrobuz gives all his productions away for free on his myspace... I would recommend getting the Bleep Blorp remixes instrumental version but they are all seriously ace beats...

Cambodian Treats?

Mumptown be a bit busy...

Me and Ceri have been busy over the last 2 months with our move back to Liverpool so have been lacking in blog and website updates but we will get back on track soon.

Here's a little post of AMBUSH DESIGN. We both love the eccentricity of Yoon and Verbal (shame the wrong people hype there products ).

Feeling Inspired

So, I've spent my day off trawling the internet for new illustration/graphic design...and I've managed to find some really good stuff! Here are some favourites...making me feel all inspired!

First up is Mogollon, an art direction studio, specializing in branding, graphic design, typography, illustration, motion graphics and pretty much everything else design wise! My favs are the editorial and self promotional stuff. Check it out here http://www.mogollon-ny.com/




Janine Rewell is a helsinki-based illustrator and graphic designer who has recently been nominated as one of the twenty hottest new visual artists of 2010. And you can see why...her work is amazing!! Defo one of my new favourites, off her website I choose the Nokia and some product design for Sporks!

Next up is Ginette Lapalme, a Canadian illustrator who's work is wonderfully weird, I really like her colour palette and the different mediums she uses. The Silkscreen prints and the animations are lovely. Check it out for yo'self... http://www.ginettelapalme.com/




Lastly is London-based King Noir a lifestyle/streetwear brand. They hand draw and hand print there apparel. I really like the design on the tees and there reasonably priced, they also sell bags and prints! They have a cool blog too http://www.kingnoir.com/

Mumps on the move

Well, hopefully. Oli and I will be making the move back to Liverpool soon, and moving in with one of our good friends and fellow designer Ash Spurr! We will mos definitely miss the RYL...but with us moving into a HOUSE this time round, we're getting all excited at the prospect of decorating and putting our own touch on things on a bigger scale, rather than just a few rooms of a flat. So here's a list (a rather ambitious list) of some stuff we would love to own to make a home.

Futura print - Major dollars!
Biscuit cushion - Hom Nom
