BIG FUN!

I don't want to bore all you sweaty office workers out there with the whole story...But I will tell you that Barcelona and Sonar smashed it. The sun, the sea, the music, the company, the food have left me smiling for a good few months. Goldfrapp, Madness, Diplo, Justice and the rest... and my new favourite DJ- DJ Kawazaki. Just when we thought the party was over on Saturday morning, he got all us dregs dancing like fresh little bunnies. Zoe has the magic camera with all the beautiful photos, so for now, I am just going to post my two best phone pics. Trust me, the gorilla man is not someone you want following you round and jumping out at you every two seconds when you are feeling sketchy! SUCH an amazing holiday and hopefully...The start of a good summer, including lots of BIG FUN work too. I am ready for anything!

Vice- Mexican Issue

Apparently our Nike piece scared Vice. Shame it didn't quite make the 'Don'ts' page. Ho-hum, maybe next time.

Nike 'Art of Football' Basel

Well what a jet-setting week last week was! I was flown from my (well deserved) holiday in Sicily to meet Anna in Basel, Switzerland where our 'Just for Kicks' piece was being exhibited. It was shortlisted out of the thousands of entries along with 10 others. Great to meet Penny and Paul from ShowStudio and some of the other artists taking part such as: Ewan Spencer, Patrik Söderstam (winner! : ) ), Danielle Mudd, Oskar & Ewan and last but by no means least Brian Sweeney (thanks for the photo!) The opening night was a lot of drunken fun. Luckily we were put up at the most beautiful hotel in Zurich, the Dolder Grand and had the spa with its outdoor hot-tubs, saunas, snow room (!?!?!) naked relaxation rooms, steam rooms, thermal stone batch, swimming pools etc to help us recover. I won't even mention the six-thousand jet shower and amazing toiletries...Not sure about £10 bagels though. Only joking. Nice one Nike, you did us proud.

Random Phone Flicks

The biggest trainers EVER in the world in Spitalfields Market. Found whilst pottering and perusing wonderful objects for our current project.



The wacky rainbow house viewable from Streatham Hill station. Although I was cursing Katie and Jonny for moving to the furthest place possible from me, I did delight in this pretty (badly) painted house on my sleepy journey home one Sunday.



Tufnell Park's most up-to-date printing shop. You NEVER find classic vinyl window graphics like this anymore. Get me some now.



A lighters-in-air moment during the Feist gig at the Royal Albert Hall recently. What a shining ray of lovely starry light she is. Her recorded stuff is nothing on the real thing. Amazing.



Last but not least, the graduate Freerange shows began at the Truman Brewery a couple of weeks ago. Thursday nights during the summer see thousands of thirsty (for the art of course) people head to Brick Lane to check out the fresh emerging talent from art and design courses across the country. Well done to all the Brightonians graduating this year. Their show 'Into the Woods' was a smasher. Props to Ness for all her amazing hard work organising it all and to everyone that helped her. Brighton pulled it-off yet again! This guy was obviously enjoying himself no-end, cotching on the pavement, in the rain, half-naked. Oh and we saw David Rodigan perform live that night too...What a night.
