Goldsworthy

Went to the Gauguin exhibition today, but it was after while I was looking through some of the books at the Tate that I realized I had forgotten about Andy Goldsworthy. These were brilliant, all covered with leaves!

I found this exhibition of creativeeveryone.com, but slightly suprised to find it in a hairdresser with people getting there hair cut. but still, I guess it was appropriate. Brilliant, if not slightly obsessive.

Camouflage Poster

This was done aaaggges ago, but came across it in an old D&AD Annual. SUCH a good idea.

End of the line

I took the last tube the other day and noticed loads of screwed up, folded, disregarded newspapers that littered the underground.
Thought I'd do some drawings of them, they looked quite sad. Mabey next time I'll do some more.

Bottle

Best ever stop motion??

Bottle from Kirsten Lepore on Vimeo.

London's Victoria Typography

The style of each individual letter was inspired by the particular story it was telling in London's Victoria. Work by Hat-Trick Design.

Portfolio Extract

Had to cut down the number of slides in my portfolio for the Kingston submission today. Thought these shouldn't go to complete waste.

Fletcher Quote

From 'The Art of Looking Sideways'. Brilliant truth.

Damián Orteg at the Barbican

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant exhibition. Damián Orteg has taken a selection of articles from the Independent newspaper as produced works based on current issues. They move from the witty and playful to the more poignant issues. Loved the way he gave a copy of the article to read next to the work. Brilliant brilliant.

snow here

The snow has arrived. Found myself liking it alot less this year since a couple of near misses falling over. Found these on the way to work this morning, a reminder of what the ground looked like a few days ago. Love the footprints on the first image.

Night Bus Drawings

I was coming home from White City last night, all the way to north London, while there was a tube strike. Never a good idea. But there was no other option than to get two very long and bumpy night buses. So to pass the time I got out my pen and sketchbook and amused myself by drawing drunk people who had fallen asleep. It was a bit tricky because the bus was so bumpy so everytime the bus stopped I scribbled away as quick as I could before the bus took off again.

The Art of Looking Sideways

Just started reading Alan Fletcher's 'The Art of Looking Sideways' yesterday. Seems a pretty massive book, but figured I needed a crash course into learning about him. Should keep me occupied.

Creative Littering

I saw this the other day while I was out in Oxford Street begining my christmas shopping. It made the day worthwhile at least.

Harry Pearce

I went to see Harry Pearce speak the other day at D&AD. I was blown away. He gave a whole new inspiration to design and thinking. Really triggered when he spoke about opening your eyes to what's around and how great ideas come from observation. My dad also brought his conundrams book which we spent most of the bus journey back trying to figure out!

Urban Rothko

Been Meaning to get this project off the ground for a while now, but braved the cold and went on a long walk from Camden to Muswell Hill. I'm looking at grafitti that the council have to decided to 'get rid off'. Instead they paint these amazing blocks of mis-matching colour over and just create abstract grafitti. Pretty cool.
