Handsome Frank is an illustrator agency – (which I stumbled across via The Guardian’s Spotter’s Guide to Buildings via Emma Kelly!).
A wide selection of illustrators – to be expected but they also have a nice blog of work that has been commissioned by the likes of Esquire, Wallpaper etc..etc…
Work featured is by Emma Kelly, David Sparshott and Thibaud Herem.

The School of Life – first up I absolutely love the look of their website. Really simple and calm but lovingly put together.
Essentially (in their words) a ‘cultural enterprise offering good ideas for everyday life’ which they do via talks, products, classes, books etc..etc.. More to follow when I have really had time to look through in more depth.
I mean who wouldn’t want a pencil sets with the words Bricolage or Anagnorisis? Pretentious, moi?!
(thanks to Roisin for the find)

In their words…

Our site is a place for people to seek inspiration and get useful ideas for their home and living. To create interesting and personal space around you where cooking food and eating is an integral part of the whole.
