Ikea trips
I swear I thought this was a Jon Burgerman drawing. It's not quite, but definitely similar. I'm not sure if you buy this, if the art is meant to be kept, or do you throw it out and put your own art in. But Ikea is always interesting, and since they're the ubiquitous home furnishing place, it's fun to look around since there are some weird things there.
This is a kids rug or something like that. It's influenced by illustration art, from a lot of folks we know. J Otto, Emberley, Salazar, and so on. I'll bet they got someone to turn this out quick in that style.
Looks like dead people. This is an odd bed spread. Dead people holding hands? I guess they're not dead... the pillow has their heart rate monitor. I thought this was odd.
These lights are weird. Would you call someone a hoser, if they had this at their place?
This is digital katakana font. I'm not sure how many people know that it's actually Japanese, but it's disguised as a digital barcode -ish looking design.
Simple in design and cute, this box of crackers is perfect. The colors of the box are great.

Hi Eric
it is a drawing by me, I made it in 2005 I think. You can buy it as a poster on its own, which is why Ikea originally took it on.
I've not been to Ikea myself since they served me a horrible veggie hotdog back in 2004.
take care

Nice photography!

Our son really liked the lighted fabric slinky, can't remember how exactly he described it, but it really caught his eye. My wife and I run www.ikeafans.com, so obviously I'm not impartial ;-), but we always have fun when we go to IKEA, that's why we got started with this!
Had no idea about that pillow being a digital katakana font rather than an abstract print. Very cool! I'll toss a link to it and see if Susan wants to do an entry about that...
It *is* a Jon Burgerman! For the price ($12, unframed) and the size 100cm (39 1/4 inches) by 70cm (27 1/2 inches, you kind of can't beat that. http://www.doodlesplatter.com/2008/09/bild-poster-for-ikea/
