Hi!
Welcome to the 8th issue of Inspired By. I saw a lot of nice thing this week. Let’s get to it...

👨🏿 Kiwanuka Album Art
Remember Michael Kiwanuka from issue #4? His new album is great (one of the greatest albums of the decade even) but have you seen his logo? It's set in Motter Ombra, a font designed by Othmar Motter in 1973, which I used at the 🔝 of this issue.

Keep it Cool
Ship perishables confidently.
🧯 Hot Ones
And staying with hot sauce for a minute, this is an interview series with celebrities such as Gordon Ramsay, Tommy Chong, and DJ Khaled where they burn their tastebuds eating hot wings with (increasingly hotter) hot sauce! The latest one is with Nick Offerman:
😱 Wooden LEGO® Minifigure
Inspired by the first toys handcrafted in wood by LEGO® creator Ole Kirk Kristiansen you can now buy a carved oak wood minifigure! It is five times the size of a traditional minifigure (20cm tall) and a must-have for LEGO® fans (like me!).
