Where are the Magic Steps at?!

Best Trucks in the World EVER.

Third post about India- my obsession with trucks. My boyfriend thought I was a complete weirdo when I was demanding that rickshaw drivers take a detour specifically so we could pass truck garages and I could take photos. In India, the Goods Carriers (Trucks) are literally the most amazing things ever. Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, The Beatles, The magic bus and all other hippies galavanting round the world on the love trail definitely took their hippie vehicle inspiration from these Indian badboys. I couldn't even capture some of the best ones as they would fly by our government bus, on the dusty, pot-holed road at a hundred mph. I am going to buy a van soon and convert it to be camper by weekend, work van by week. It is going to be banging.

Glug at Somerset House

Later this month, Anna and I will be talking about five things that we love along with some other very interesting designers at the next Glug. The images below is just a quick screen grab from the Glug blog but the actual post can be seen here with proper links to all the participating artists etc. You can also buy tickets here and read more about the Pick Me Up fair which Glug will be working in conjunction with. Booking tickets is recommended as places are limited and there are lots of other fun things going on during that week too so make sure you take a peek.

Signage

Here's a quick Tuesday morning post for all of you back at work. There is no end to the amusement had from anything worded/funny signage. Here is some of the best I spotted in India:





Choose a degree/profession. This was seen in Delhi and left us wondering who we would be able to trust in the emergency of a lost front tooth or such:


Believe it or not I am No 1:








'Dating the local legend (you won't)'


Fosters mineral water anyone?

Twittery Bloggery

Please check out our new Twitter sidebar. We may not have been as quick on the uptake as some of the earlybirds (ahem) out there but figured it is a quick and convenient way to keep people updated on our daily antics, especially when we don't have time for a lengthy, photo-illustrated blog post.

Goats, a bull, two elephants and a very tired Mother pig.

I have been very slack at posting any photos from my trip to India so now I am about to bombard, starting with the animals of India. Although there is only one bull pictured (biggest horns we saw), cows and bulls are in abundance, everywhere, doing their thing in India. They pretty much own the streets (and beaches and car parks) but they just don't quite cut the mustard compared to the goats.

I only saw one live elephant on my travels and it came in the form of a raving elephant- my favourite kind. The other one was in the museum. Stuffed. There's a first time for everything...

The Independent Magazine - Fashion Special

Just popped out to the corner shop to get The Independent so I could see our set featured in the magazine today. We shot it with the lovely Annie Collinge and stylist Gemma Hayward a couple of weeks ago, hope to do some more stuff with them soon as we had such a chatty but calm day, perfect team to work with I'd say.

1950s structures

After an unsuccessful day of work (fucked weather/bad location) I spent the evening looking at things I like. Tomorrow is full of promise.

HAHA blast from the past! (well not that long ago)

I was trying to find the venue of the exhibition we were in in Basel for Nike Art of Football with SHOWstudio and look what I found - look out for Lauren chatting away about our piece and me looking rather quieter than normal!

Nike 1-1: Basel Exhibition

Nike 1/1 | MySpace Video

Work in progress.

This is a little tiny clip of something I'm working on at college. 7 weeks until the final show!!! This isn't what I'm making for the final show but it's something I have been working on for ages, once I've got it edited I'll put it up here.

Art is Proof

At Suprette this week we have a few things in a show called All My Best Friends Are...Illustrators, Print Makers, Designers, Makers and Writers, including these limited edition print/collages.






It runs 18th – 28th March Weekdays 12 til 6 • Weekends 11 til 6. Above are our good friends Leah, Mark and Will of Art is Proof who are running the show. The work is all priced at affordable prices and really beautiful, well worth a visit.

ICA - Heavy Pencil

What a wicked night. I don't think the ICA were ready for scantily clad Iain!
He was our perfect muse for the evening as he sang classic tunes from our most treasured femme fatal singers (Madonna, Pj Harvey, Amy Winehouse) we created him an item of costume to wear for each song. We started by making a giant pencil, then gloves, then shoulder pieces and a music stave for his guitar finishing in the photo here in a giant warrior headdress.



We loved every minute of it despite the pre-event nerves of the pressure of creating live on the stage, roll on the next one!
