Those New Yorkers Might Be On To Something..
So, they’re selling New York Tap Water to New Yorkers’ eh, that old chestnut. It’s likely your first reaction was ‘cheeky yanks!’ as your monocle popped from your eye into your cream scone in horror. But let’s just pretend you didn’t think that, and you don’t look the guy on the monopoly box; instead you recognised the whole concept was pure genius as soon as you laid your eyes on it. Because it is.
If the whole thing hadn’t been executed so well, from their manifesto down to their tag lines and bottle design, I’d probably be joining you in some monocle dropping dismay myself. But I love it. They aren’t trying to trick or schmooze anyone into buying it. It is what it is. And the clever marketing bundle it comes wrapped in only serves to highlight that even further.
Hot Rods & Hairy Beats
Wouldn’t that be a great subject for an illustration exhibition, its a thought that’s been reverberating through the minds of artists and designers for years, well now it’s finally happened!

Coningsby Gallery

‘Hot Rods, Hula Girls, Hairy Beasts, Himalayan Head Hunters and the Holy Bible are just some of the subjects under discussion by illustrators Linzie Hunter, Allan Sanders, Rod Hunt and Nishant Choksi. No subject is too small for this group of seasoned professional illustrators and adventurers. With clients spanning the world of advertising, publishing, design and editorial this band of battle scarred buccaneers are prepared for the eventuality of just about anything. Their motto is simple : to illustrate the obscure …and beyond!’

Just Got Home....
….from playing squash and thought I’d better check we’re all still alive. Playing squash without being sucked into the vacuum of a black hole should have been a clue, but you can never be too careful these days.
So, they started the LHC without killing us all, it’s a promising start to discovering the secrets of the big bang, not to mention handy as I’d bet the marketing manager at work a tenner it wouldn’t destroy the earth as we know it. A good day all round for man kind.
Just back from Jimena De La Frontera , a week of driving on the wrong side of the road, tentatively following the overly tracked typography of the spanish road signs through the countryside. Good stuff.
hello
This is my new and improved, less writing, more pretty pictures blog. I realised there was a definite theme running through all the posts on my previous blog, I observed they were all absurdly boring. So binned it and started again.
I wanted something I could keep up to date and current that would run along side my main portfolio site, so this is it.
