Commemorative Coca Cola boxset

To mark the 125th anniversary of Coca Cola, Coke have decided to launch a commemorative box set to mark the iconic brand's birthday. Coke have reproduced 4 of their original glass bottles and the set comes in a branded wooden box. The box set is only available through Selfridges and would make a lovely collectors piece.

Fresh stuff from Blu in Poland

Blu's been at it again. On a recent trip to Poland the street artist Blu, renowned for his large-scale murals and paintings across Europe, completed this monster piece with a clear and direct message about the fundamental principals of religion. A powerful statement in an area of the world that has built its foundations on Catholicism. You can see more of Blu's work here.

Fresh stuff from Todd McLellan

Disassembly by Todd McLellan is an intricate set of images taken of old items disassembled.

The Canadian photographer disassmbles old items such as cameras, lawnmowers and clocks and neatly displays them for shooting. The result is a nostalgic series of images from times past. You can see more of Todd's work here.
