The Brick Man

Oddly inspired by A Cup Of Jo (who published an article about Christoph Niemann and NYC lego) I decided randomly to google 'lego' and came across a passionate legoer Nathan Sawaya. Who would ever think of making sculptures out of lego? This bloke did

Pandora's Box

Have you opened your Pandora's Box? What's in it?
This random guy who added me on facebook posted his website so many times I thought I'd check it out. Apparently he's a photographer, but this is like the only picture up. And I love it! Put some more up! Or take some more!
I'll check back soon here

Things to Do This Month

I was thinking of making this monthly, like 'what do we have to look forward to?'. I know it's a tad late, but better late that never right!

January is going to be good

• (21th January - 17th May) Hussein Chalayan's Exhibition at the Design Museum in London. Showing his best work since 1994, Chalayan is possibly the most innovative and creative designer of the last decade, just look right. He has encorporated airoplane parts, wood, LED lights, condensed chiffon, even balloons! I'm not planning to miss this one.
• (17th - 20th January) Milan Mens Fashion Week. Finally the fashion weeks are back, it's hard to blog when there arn't any shows on, even if it is mens! I'm oddly exited about Etro. A friend of mine mensioned how much he liked them a while ago - when I didn't know much about them - but am now transformed. Etro just has a natural, casual and effortless sense, whilst being intricate and stylish. I need to stick them on my board.
• (9th January - 1st February) 'Corpus Collosum' Exhibition by David Bettie and Karl Burke in London. Here is the low-down on their work, "their lo-fi sculptures and installations are material meditations on the phenomena we take for granted". Can you pronounce w-o-w? Plus, it's a free entry.
• (18th - 20th January) Project New York. It's a bit far away, but I can admire from over here. The Project is more of a couture denim show, a very classy street style if you wish. I just came across it and it seems like an interesting event hosted by Atrium.

Yep. This will definitely become a monthly issue. I would add more, but not much happens in 30 days. Oh wait, I have one more:

• (9th January) Core 1 Maths Exam. Joy. What even ARE bonomial expassions? I really should stop bloging and start working... Good Luck to any of you who have exams in the coming weeks, but for now I bid you adieu

Fleur Van Maarsch...

The Name is Fleur van Maarschalkerwaart, I thought it was a bit too long for a title. Anyway she is based in Amsterdam as a graphic designer. She does some lovely ink and watercolour mixed-media paintings, but I was immediately drawn to these layers that create a high-impact emotional image.

How the Other Half Lives

Recently I have been loving Just Fashion.Art.Design, another blog about style, but it is far more superior than the rest. All of these pictures are what my life would have been like in 1953 if I was born in 1929 and became exceedingly rich in 1949. And it is that precise. In a recent article they had some photos by Phil Poynter; so I googled him and found an excuisite set of photographs. Feast your eyes:

Just a ponder question:
How much do you think each of these outfits costs? Including accessories (including the pack of cards) and the lamps, and the tablecloths, and the nail polish. My answer - 'a fortune, but who cares? it looks fantastic!'
