Got some more free stuff for you! Drop over to app-bits and you’ll find some free icons designed specifically for use in the tab bar in iPhone apps.

All I ask is that you drop me a line, or give app-bits a mention if you use them!

Download the free icon set here.

Every so often Poly wants to give something back! Here’s a little desktop background for y’all.. I know its bizarre but I got a little Knight Rider inspired and thought Poly should have its own big rig to drive out of down the M50! You can download it here if you like it (1600 x 1200).

For someone that read a good deal of William Gibson and a host of other “cyberpunk” novels, this seems to be quite something! Google appears to have switched on an AI called Cadie, which is a “she”, and also has her own homepage. 

This got me to looking around at some Gibson links and I found some great book covers for Neuromancer over the past two decades. 

Best of all, I thought, were these three for the Brazilian published editions of the entire series.

I think I may have to grab these books again just to prepare for when Google’s AI goes sentient and tries to control our destiny. This being the first of April, I think we can probably relax a little. But still, you never know..

Got a new piece of artwork for you hot off the Poly press! Sometimes you just have to make a break and get out of town. Whether its to breathe the fresh country air, to see the family or to escape a giant mantis with a taste for buildings and big American cars. You can download a big version here (right click on the link and click "Save target as..").

Whatever happened to the old days of drawing a moustache and a pair of glasses (or some prudent anatomical sketches) to ads in the underground?

Seriously this stuff is inspired. Great concept that aims to try to show up the weird airbrushed pastiches that are models in modern advertising.

If only I had seen that I could have had a slab pillow!

Font faced furniture and other objects for the modern designer. Never thought I’d see the day.
