Monthly Shell-Out

Banknotes, Big Books, and my Cat

A reimagined euro, and a pop-up the size of a room

Aug 11 • Tom Ayling 🐢

Keyframes, the 1990s, and windsocks

And a very old boat

Jul 7 • Tom Ayling 🐢

Bliss, Peckers, and Wood

Windows XP in real life, birds in your ears, and Scandi architecture…

Jun 2 • Tom Ayling 🐢

Tracks, Beans, and Trees

Pentagram, FutureBrand, other-worldly coffee, and a sad train obsession…

May 5 • Tom Ayling 🐢

Duck Pics, CMYK, and Expensive Knobs

Things I can’t afford, free public domain art, a fun halftoning tool, and games to feel old and nostalgic about.

Apr 7 • Tom Ayling 🐢

Snoots, Berries, and White Cabbage

And looking at my face

Feb 3 • Tom Ayling 🐢

Albert, Blackletter, and Piss

And some white powder, too

Sharp Teeth, Blend Modes, and Good Hugs

Five finds celebrating craft, creativity, and the occasional cuddly creature

Butter, Cavemen, and Banana Milk

And turds, of course

Stuff I found this summer

And returning after a break

Rainbows, Squiggles, and Expensive Chairs

And a question about the future

Mirrors, Sandwiches, and Phone-Holes

Don’t forget the chisels, too.
