Tents

a good place to escape...

Saatchi Gallery

Made a trip to the Saatchi Gallery at the weekend. Have to say nothing really took my fancy, as a wheel chair with a pile of rubbish on it is not what I consider art. But at least it gets people out there and talking about art. One woman in particular amused me with her thoughts looking at lots of square images which create a big image "its like lots of little images but when you look at it, it makes a big image" most insightful. Thank you random stranger. I feel a lot more intelligent now.

One piece which did make people stop was the mirrored wall which moved (vibrating at different frequencies) Lots of people were taking pictures (including me) but unfortunatley a vibrating wall just looks like a wall in a photo. ha. not so intelligent after all....

Hide & Seek with Film4

I can remember times when I felt entirely alive.

I was Broken

Its December tomorrow so its officially ok to start playing this song!! Yippeeeee. In the words of Rach "spread the love people."

Nolan's cheddar

A friend showed me this one, makes me chuckle everytime. Pretty sure this advert wouldnt be allowed anymore... still a good concept though...

Tales of Terror

These photographs are from 1961, taken during an audition for black cats for Roger Corman's horror film Tales of Terror. Corman was auditioning for six black cats, one to star in his film and five others to stand in as extras. Now that's a film I want to see!

Home Again

Beeeeautiful song from Michael Kiwanuka.

Fenton/Benton

I just cant get enough of this...

Missing this quite a lot.

Catvertising.

Catvertising. Our Creative Director posted this video. It really brought a smile to my face on a Tuesday morning. Integrating cats into every aspect on advertising. ha brilliant.

David Whittaker http://www.millenniumgallery.co.uk/past.htm

I rarely find an artist which I completely love. But this I LOVE. My sister found this artist for me, his exhibition is on at the Red Bull studios at the moment. I am definitley going to try and make it down there to check him out...

My Keepon

So strange but I weirdly quite want one of these lovable little chaps.

These have been tipped as the must have christmas present...apparently they are cannot meet the high demand. PR stunt?

Inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888

Winter Wonderland

Plan B

Great minds. Rach saw this advert and thought I might like it. Which I do! The voice over at the end kind of annoys me, there must be another way to get the message across but apart from that its a great concept!

Franklar, thought of you when I saw these illustrations :)

New Barnardo ad from BBH

Extremely powerful ad from BBH. The messsage is hugely important as it highlights that no matter how your life starts if you are given support you can change it for the better. 'It doesn't have to end like it began. Join us to fight for a child's future.'

Into the Wild

"He's a real nowhere man. Sitting in is nowhere land. Making all his nowhere plans. For Nobody." - The Beatles.

"He wanted all to lie in an ecstasy of peace; I wanted all to sparkle and dance in a glorious jubilee. I said his heaven would be only half alive; and he said mine would be drunk: I said I should fall asleep in his; and he said he could not breathe in mine..."- Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights

Cant seem to concentrate...my mind in wandering off. Feel like pulling a Chris McCandless and adventuring into the wilds of Alaska. LP, want to come with me?

Wish this was true...
