Some romance...

...for this cold November night -

Inspired by Living in the Material World

Continuing my obsession with George Harrison after watching Martin Scorsese's documentary (this one) I have spent quite a lot of my time this past week googling images of George Harrison. And mourning that fact I wasn't alive in the 60's ...Wow.

I also came across this beauty -

Now that one's really amazing!

Birth of an owl

Amazing way to spend a Saturday morning. HUGE thanks to K.Smart

Vegas in the 50's

The end of the world

I have an uneasy feeling that apocalypse is just round the corner...

John Martin at Tate Britain -


And Melancholia -


Beautiful but terrifying.

Awesome

It's so beyond me how anyone can do this..

AH-MAZE-ING

My hero Eleanor Friedberger @ platform cafe

Reddress

Last night was spent laying in a fold of a dress and the lady wearing it sang beautiful Finnish songs to me. It was a very beautiful experience.

Nice on the eyes.

Very naughtily I didn't keep a record of where I got these images from. Which is very annoying because they are both lovely.
+ this song is what September felt like this year -

chicken on a cat on a dog on a donkey.

I love piles of animals. This is so cool. From here

MIstakes

I went to the exhibition of Edward McKnight Kauffer at the Estoric Collection.

The thing that stuck me most - rather than the actual posters was the hand-made-ness of them- just because he's from a time before computers. It seems so sad that now none of our mistakes will be preserved.

Just what we need....

...since going to see Arcade Fire now means having to brave a horrible crowd of football-fan-type men aggressively chanting along to the songs while pouring pints of beer everywhere....

These guys look pretty much perfect.

STELLAR

There is something so magical about the animation of these photos... although I love the animated gif whatever.


These are from here - by Ignacio Torres

Absolutly Amazing

And once again the costumes are by my hero Edith Head

It's one of those films that I should have seen years ago, but somehow never got around to. Just awesome.

Spoils from the flower market

All the more lovely now I have a garden to plant them in.

Under the net

"Perhaps a failed director who had turned his artistic talents to the business side of the industry, consoling himself by making money for the loss of a vision of beauty which would neverthetheless haunt him all his life, and make him short- tempered whenever he came near the set and saw other men struggling with the problems which had given him ecstasy at twenty five, sleepless nights at thirty and had finally brought him to despair."

Ideas for a dinner party

I found these AMAZING creations in a newspaper supliment from 1984. Apparent Barbara Cartland released a cookery book called 'The Romance of Food'. I think I need that book and then I have to throw a dinner party.

I must be looney...

Freschard at Railroad Cafe - lovely

Just came across this great blog...this guy posts a comic strip every day about his life. I thought this one was really lovey!

Look at it here

Eastbourne - the San Francisco of the south coast?

Some more new work...

Mostly when I work on a research job all my work goes towards just putting the pitch together and winning the job. Which is fine. But sometimes I get to do a bit more than that, spending time really trying to find images that will influence the mood and the feel of the whole ad - those are the jobs that are really ace, and this was one of those.

LOVE IT! Awesome new VW ad from Tony Barry -

New jobs...

I spent January assisting the lovely Sue Worthy on this job.


Although I got to go to the shoot at Alexandra Palace, I sadly didn't get to go to the sunny outside South African part...

ALOHA

Ruby

for a friday evening -

And YES I want to be able to do that dance...

beautiful girl

Love this. From here
