R.I.P.

I think this may be my favourite song/video combination. But I can't really decide.

(That isn't a bad thing)

Kill Me

So, while wandering through Hyde Park - we stumbled upon the huge walls of Hard Rock Calling. Being the nosey northerners we are, we decided to peek through the gaps. Then, two drunks wandering up to us - and hand us their VIP passes to get inside.

INCREDIBLE.

After some soul searching (and some sneaky spy work on the entrance) we walked straight in, no problem, no fuss. Special VIP seats to see the KILLERS. Although they haven't been my favourite band lately, the atmosphere and the performance totally swayed me back into becoming a huge fan. They were fantastic.

If you get chance to see them - do it. Even better if you get it for free!

(The whole day was ruined when I accidentally spent £10 on 4 batteries...devastated)

Summer

So summer has officially arrived. I have finished uni for almost 3/4 months, and I'm free to enjoy the sun.

(which means flat hunting and working on summer projects. bahhhhhh)

Some things I want to achieve.

• A Job? Perhaps even an internship at some nice place. Offers are more than welcome.
• Construction of a portfolio and/or website to showcase my WORK.
• Find a BEAUTIFUL flat for me to live in. With large windows and white walls, preferably.

Et Voila! Mon Ete c'est fantastique!

tu vas te brûler les doigts!

(I also want to learn French)

Man, Woman, Machine

Final pieces for illustration.

What impact does photography have on the human soul?

Originally printed on photographic paper that reacted in light - so the white became black and the human bodies were lost forever.

Deep.

Sun

You have to trust me on this. This song sounds SO GOOD in the sun. Please listen to it and enjoy it.

But also remember to watch, as the video is perfection.

I'm in love with a...

This song is probably my number 1 for 2009. It's so impossibly brilliant, I'm just in love with it in every single way.

Beautiful, melancholic disco.

But I'm not keen on the video :( Apart from one or two beautiful parts.

HELP

Where do I take my illustration project? :(
I'm finding it very difficult to develop something interesting - visually and conceptually. I need assistance and a sudden brainwave.

Photographic paper? Like the experiment above?

WHAT CAN I DO?

Blair Witch

A development of the '26 Machines' brief - this time looking at an application for my typeface, 'Treehugger'.

As you can see, I constructed the whole thing out of twigs that I found on the street. The twigs were dirty and riddled with bugs, so they've most likely moved into the studio now.

I tried out the OHP simply because I wanted too - and I liked the result. It doesn't really connect to anything - but it looks nice, I think.

Monkey see, Monkey do.

My new favourite advert.

Meatyard

I was looking at some Sally Mann/Meatyard/Robert Frank books yesterday, and after I had finished kissing them - I decided to resurrect these photos. I forgot about them, but I thought I'd present them on here. Shot in 2006?

Voila.

Now, something that has been bothering me for a few weeks now.

The new(ish) shopping bags from Topshop have a very attractive pattern. When I saw it, I thought it was beautiful. I also thought something else.

Exhibit A.

Well, for my final major project last summer, I made a A1 typographic poster that I also really liked.

Exhibit B.


Is it just me, or are there some simlarites here? I don't want to accuse Topshop of stealing the design, because I don't really think they could. But I just wanted to make it known that I did something very similar; before Topshop.

Therfore I am BANG ON TREND. Perhaps even ahead of the TREND.

That is all :)
