Oslo Davis, the award-winning illustrator and cartoonist, is a professional voyeur. He's made a career out of observing the shared intimacies of urban life and re-interpreting them on the page.  A mix of his new and old work has been compiled in the new book, Oslo's Melbourne — Illustrated Adventures in the World's Most Tolerated City.

And for the latest edition of Kitchen Rudimental, resident Blueprint chef Annie Smithers takes Jonathan through the painstaking process of making Eugenies, or candied oranges encased in chocolate (yes, all seven boiling sessions). 

Afterward head into the sumptuous interiors of Sydney interior design duo, Juliette Arent and Sarah-Jane Pyke (Arent and Pyke). Throughout their 15 years of practice, they've grappled with the tensions inherent in the field… creating moments of whimsy and delight without it feeling like it's been ripped out of a design glossy.

Then put a pin in it… resident design expert Colin Bisset gives us the history of the thumbtack.
