St Bride Library

Recently I attended a talk at the St. Bride Library, the talk was all about the history of the printed word. The speaker was absolutely fascinating, he had an encyclopedic knowledge on the subject and talked in a gripping manner. Luckily for me, this talk was arranged as part of my course. However there are seminars and lectures that anyone can attend by booking, though slightly pricey, i am almost sure they will be well worth it. I am going attend one, that is for sure. In addition the library its self is vast, containing ''All the classic works on printing technique, visual style, typography, graphic design, calligraphy and more.'' 

Take a look at the website HERE.

ALL NEW

I recently purchaced a new whiteboard, i also did a bit of DIY  to make an inspirational pen holder. Hopefully this will allow me not to have to get out of bed, to write down all the ideas that i should have had in the day time, that seem to come to me as i am trying to sleep!

Maestro knows

MAESTRO ON DRUMS PT 2 from TONE on Vimeo.

So, this guy, Levi Maestro is the man. He is a skateboarder living in LA, who now seems to do anything that he sets his mind to, he shoots videos, designs clothes and has his own show, Meastro knows. He got everywhere he has been with a nothing ventured, nothing gained approach and a super positive attitude. Take a look.

Stop Motion

The other day i had my first work shop in stop motion. Working with this process has a large potential for creativity and in a world CGI it maintains a nice organic quality to it. i have been looking through the internet to find some inspiration. These are a few of my favorite videos so far.







This Coldplay video is so good, no?

10 down 90 to go

It feels like it has taken forever for me to get started on these collages, which is probably because it actually has, i am going on the theme of 100 different animals. I dont know if i am going to be able to make every one different and interesting, but i can try. Here are the first 10, on the whole i am quite happy with how they are going, now i just need to start racking up the numbers. I think i wil start with a pig next!
