reflections and fireworks

A guy I know called Mark Cockedge who has just graduated from my uni is an amazing photographer and he does this double exposure kinda thing and it was amazing. So I took a photograph into the reflection of the window because it reminded me of his work. Also there where fireworks going off and I have a perfect view of them from my room so I took a few snaps. The ones on here are my favorites because they are very abstract images and make me think of all kinds of stuff.

Switzerland

I want to live in Switzerland.
I have decided it suits me down to a tee. Great countryside, buzzing cities, art, culture, friendly smart people, different languages, fantastic food, clean air. Never been so I should start saving so I can take a visit.

updates kinda, sorta, almost, nearly

Stuff is happening. A bit vague I know. I am doing some freelance work, can't put anything of that up yet. I am starting a typographic collective at my university and I've done the ident for it and promotional material but again can't put that up yet until it is finalized. Also doing an ident for a friends art business that he is setting up. again can't put any of that work up yet. I don't really know why I am writing this then. I am doing some research and sketches and little personal artwork thingys at the moment that I can put up shortly. woooo!!!!!!!!
Also some updates on the urban typography project are due pretty soon.

Wow. I wish I could claim to have done this. I love it, it flows wonderfully and makes me want to have it as a big poster. This guy is only 17. I would be jealous but its a wasteful emotion. I love all the subtle elements to it and pastel like tones.

My wish list.

This is my wish list. Picky I know, I want it all. haaha. I am not normally the one that desire material objects, but these aren't just fancy pants to look at, they are serious hardware as well. I wish I could afford them. Maybe one of you with enough money will buy me all that. Who knows. haha. I make do with my old G4 imac though, bless it they last for years.

new website

Me new website is finally online. I was going to make a mailer to advertise my website to select people but I am too busy. It will change a bit, I need to correct some spelling.

Overall I am pleased with it. It best represents me and shows my cleanly. Less is more an all that jazz.

Eric Ellis

widmest.org Eric Ellis is a Design student in America. I found his work on the inter-web and was amazed by his typographic compositions. I have recently bought one of this huge posters. I shall take a photograph of it soon. I am trying to find a wooden frame big enough for it but can't find one anywhere. Looks like I have to make one.

Situation Leeds

Ok so I'm a few months out of date by posting this now. Situation Leeds happened in june. But I am crap and not posted about it till now. I walked past here everyday to get to university and I hated looking down at this horrible space, it used to be an underpass for pedestrians but was blocked in a few years ago and was used by passers by as a fly tip. So when one morning I walked past and I saw all these wonderful artists wrapping all this in yellow thread. I love how abstract it is and there are so many angles that you can view it from. Lines and paths are inter-twined, spanning off in different directions.
As I was walking past I over heard some numbskull talking to his friend that he thought the art installation was a promo for the new spider man movie release. Oh dear, that guy is a bit dull.

Memories

I have recently started restoring old photographs of my grandmas. I love old photographs and these are particially special to me because they are my family history. Events, memories, moments. This is a start of a long project for me.

Purdy

Another picture of the pets. Purdy, she looks a bit deformed on this photo.

Norfolk

Norfolk isn't as boring as I remembered it to be. I went for a week with the folks. I went bike riding most week and went on the beaches with the dogs a lot. Below are a few photos from my trip if your at all interested.

action dogs.
There are lots stones on the beaches, walking bare foot hurts a lot.
On top of the highest point in Norfolk, which isn't very high.
Look closely, it's a face.

SUMMER

Summer at last, blue sky's all around. All the rain can be dried up.
