Don't Give Up Japan: Charity Raffle with ToDryFor

Fantastic news everyone! The most awesome ToDryFor, an online boutique specialising in designer tea towels has donated some of their really lovely signed designer tea towels! They are so amazing, I wish I could have them all to myself but I decided to raffle some of them off on the Rally. So, if you are lucky you can get an ace signed (and by the way this is totally exclusive) tea towel for the tiny price of £1. The rest of these marvellous designer towels will be available at our upcoming art charity event on Saturday the 25th June at The Book Club in Shoreditch, London.

Below you can see a close up of each of these kitchen gems and the artist's signature so that you can choose which towel you want to go for! Personally I'd go for all of them, though I'm so not allowed, as they are going to good homes all across the land, for a very good cause! So a quick reminder, once in a lifetime chance at an exclusive kitchen essential.Use the PayPal button at the bottom of this post to pick an artist or artists, a pound for each and the five lucky winners will be announced on Saturday 18th June.

Very Important note: All profits from this raffle are to be donated to our Japan tsunami appeal on JustGiving.

It's another book feature for you now. Soul Pancake is a book that both asks and answers life's big questions. It was born from the Soul Pancake website created by actor Rainn Wilson and is an both a comic indictment of organised thinking and a source of wisdom and strength. The best way of describing this book is as a journey you don't know you are on but you realised you've already come a long way. Not only is the book fun and clever, encouraging interaction and it's own subversion but it does this in an elegant way with clear and fresh typography pitched against some insightful and beautiful illustrations. In this book the idea is the star and its a melting pot of the deep, the trivial and the life affirming.

The book itself is a fusion of images and text that is as vibrant as it can be without taking the shine off the ideas, Beautiful photographs meld seamlessly into anarchic text and incisive illustrations lend a hand to creating something that feels truly warm and innately good. It literally asks questions of you as you read and draws you into something you feel you should have known about since day one. It's gently effective, like a brick in a feather pillow it has a solid message but at no stage do you feel badgered or pushed. It lets you take the lead and take what you need from it. You can tell there is a craft involved and that it has a great deal of intelligent talent hammering it into this one concise volume, but yet it remains as irreverent as it can be whilst tackling the deeper side of the soul.

It really is a special thing to hold and to keep, in part as it's not only beautiful but a really vibrant idea filled guide to the spiritual side of your life.

A wonderful piece of heartfelt spirituality, here it is, it's Soul Pancake's "Chew on Life's Big Questions".
