Brighton-London

Another trip to Brighton today for a project we're working on with five schools down there. The visit was conducted in the cold, grey rain which I think suits english stations rather well. Something had to replace the steam and it may as well be the drizzle.

Get your Wrap on

It's a magazine and it can be recycled. Not like that, like that. Wrapping paper. That's right. A feast for your eyes and then your hands. Like porn, but much more useful.

Seriously, though, Wrap Magazine is great. It's an illustration magazine (the image above is taken from Issue 2, the Animals & Creatures issue) with a difference. It's a great showcase for talent and is beautifully made. Oh and MR. BEAR is well worth a look on WrapPaper's website. He's almost worth buying the magazine for alone. Just to put him to good use. 

It started with a love affair with The Bourne Family..

and strengthened via teenage years spent in Zurich, which particularly relishes a smooth, concrete finish. Given its stark starting point, concrete proves itself to be a beautiful thing- it's existence as a means of giving function to natural surfaces can't help buy bring a new life of it's own to everything it coats.

79 Waterloo Road

Formerly an Indian takeaway, under the arches of the Waterloo train tracks. Now a covered doorway and most likely inhabited by creative squatters. 

Tangled Up in Blue

I love Cornish fishing villages. We went to Portscatho yesterday on the Roseland Peninsula. It feels like another world, even more cut off and timeless than the rest of the mainland. Fishing rope will never cease to interest me- especially the knots, which to me, so often look like hearts.
