I saw Peter Saville today
in the train station. I wonder if he’ll mention me and my monumental graphic design work in his blog.
Elizabeth the hampster
Zara Wood aka Woody, she is just so cool. I have had her poster on my wall since it came free with frankie and today I got an email to say she’s updated her website, and there’s lots of new funky stuff on there. Cool cool cool cool
Gomorra
Set in the provinces around Naples, where the crime organization known as the Camorra runs the everyday ins and outs of society the film is beautifully shot without seeming intentionally ‘gritty.’ The characters are real, the backdrop is real, and the storylines are perfect glimpses at parts of the world’s clockwork-the ‘logical-yet-illogical extension of free-market capitalism’- that are often too complicated to find a place in perhaps frivolous ‘arthouse’ flicks.
Long, but a must-see. And perhaps a must see-again for me.
We love bird brooches, yes we do
If you are looking for a neat little retailer offering particularly superb brooches I would suggest visiting the world wide website of etsy, and stopping by fun is cool. If you would like to purchase a present for me this one’s my favorite.
