Apparently it took the J-man 3 days to resurrect himself, but fair play and an almighty ‘hallelujah!’ to Dave Smith, who’s managed to do it in 5.

Not a bad effort, considering it was only the end of last week we were mourning the demise of one of the design worlds most creative blogs.

But we shouldn’t have even batted an eyelid, as Dave has popped up on the Grafik magazine blog where he’ll be contributing every Friday with a round up of new work from that week. The new blog is called The Cache – genius.

Can he turn water into wine? Who knows, but if he can continue to seek out all that is gold, then that’s more than enough for us.

It was with much sadness that one the best blogs you’ve never heard of – Grafikcache, came to a close on the weekend.

Why the long face? Well this blogging game is no easy business, and Dave Smith‘s blog was one of the best resources for all things visual – from design to architecture, from books to exhibitions and all things in between.

On the upside though, you can still check the archived images on his Flickr account, not to mention The Directory, where all the agencies / artists featured on the blog can still be found.

When I put it like that it’s not so bad, so no more tears, just promise me you’ll make good use of Dan’s invaluable resource.
