Start Friday with some fiendish visual pop puns from Ian Traynor's Eyetoons

Date
1 March 2013

It is said that Thursday is the new Friday, by which logic Friday is the new Saturday and so some of you are probably feeling a little worse for wear right now. Time to shake off those hangovers though courtesy of a little brain workout courtesy of designer Ian Traynor. Whiling away some time listening to The Beatles’ Blackbird, Ian drew a simple illustration to encapsulate the song and posted it on Facebook. From there he started posting weekly visual teasers for his friends’ amusement (and competitiveness) and now thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign Eyetoons the book is ready and waiting. The illustrations are charming and some of the puzzles quite fiendish – luckily an index at the back lets you kick yourself and appreciate afresh Ian’s visual skills.
