a source of creative visual and aural inspiration.
As part of the evolution of the Human Resources™ project, in 2010 we are releasing a series of mixtapes created for us by selected artists, creatives and musicians.
First to be released is this dark, experimental and stellar mix, aurally crafted by Konx-om-pax (a.k.a. Tom Scholefield). He is the talented animator, director and illustrator who used to run Techno and Acid nights at the legendary Club 69 in Paisley, Scotland.

After a little over a year of existence, today we are celebrating the milestone of notching up our 1,000th post. To mark the occasion, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you, alongside all of our featured artists, for helping to make Human Resources™ the place it is.
You could say that the last twelve months have been eventful for us. We now receive around 500,000 hits per month from every corner of Planet Earth, and recently we were nominated by style bible Dazed & Confused magazine, for their ‘Arts & Culture Website of the Year’ award.
We hope that you will remain with us for the next 1,000 and you can rest assured that our project will continue to evolve over the coming months, with some exciting new developments.
I’ve been out of action for a while, but if there was ever a way to return, this would be it. I’m delighted and excited to announce that we have just received the accolade of being shortlisted by Dazed & Confused for Arts & Culture blog of the year.
If you enjoy what we do and have a spare couple of seconds, we would love and greatly appreciate if you would vote for us by clicking here and looking for our listing (no registration required).
Daniel Freytag has made some pretty nice design updates to his website. You might be already familiar with his V&A work (created during his time at Why Not Associates), which Jack recently posted.
The ever talented Matthew Dent got in touch with us towards the end of last week with some nice updates to his growing pool of great illustrative work. Interestingly, it would appear that he was also involved in the latest Glug event.
Matt was last featured on Human Resources after he created this super illustration for us.
At Human Resources we support the promotion of top creative talent globally. In particular, we love giving unknown accomplished creatives the much needed exposure they deserve. As such, we are delighted to announce any opportunities that we come across that we feel could be worth while entering. Swatch MTV Playground is one such opening, as they are currently searching for the next generation of creative talent. Check out their website for more details and to get involved.
An Unnatural Obsession is a beautifully captured photographic series of an immaculate collection of old school Nintendo technology. The collection is the possession of a certain Mr. B of DixonBaxi, and it made it’s way to Human Resources after it was submitted to our ever flowing Flickr Stream.

Hurson created this poster as part of the Belfast Fanciers Club – which celebrates the relaunch of The Ulster Hall, Belfast. The brief was to design a poster which pays homage to a show which they attended back in the day.
Keep up to date with our website updates and everyday ramblings by following us on the Human Resources Twitter.
Dropular is the latest image bookmarking site to hit the internet created by the nice folks at Suprb. It’s well worth checking out and dare I say it, but so far I think I prefer it to the likes of ffffound and Digg.

This is the fourth installment of Nicholas Feltron personal Annual Report. AR’s are generally pretty dry but Feltron has used his quirky data tracking site, Daytum, to create each report. Cool graphic elements but possible time to change up the style after 4 years. However, theres no denying he’s a very talented designer. You can see more of his commercial work at Megafone.
With 2009 coming ever closer, it is worth pointing that The Boston Globe (previously featured on hr in October) have just posted their photographic review of 2008. Fantastic.
Human Resources would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and the best of luck for 2009.
For us personally, it has been quite an amazing first six months and of course this would not have been possible without you. But the fun does not stop there, I’m delighted to inform you that 2009 will be an even more exciting year as our project evolves, and we hope to see you there with us.
As we say in Scotland, slange var!
Oddities started out as a urbanwear store (Odd One Out), and now have created their own label. I love their mission statement “We work together under the name Oddities to promote the work of artist’s around us and to make honest designs out of our environment and various inspirations.”
Keep up the great work!
