3. Spindle Magazine: Ikea Heights

An article in Spindle Magazine about a group of film-makers who find free locations, ready-made sets in which to film in... it's great! Check it out 'Ikea Heights'

On a familiar side-note, this kinda reminds me of some misspent summers with friends when I was 14-15. Talking gibberish to passers by in the street, parks, people's front doors... all it took was a recording camcorder and a white lie - that it was some sort of school project, faux interviews to alleviate some of the summer holiday boredom, god we were gutsy and silly... but had fun, chutzpah!
Can't imagine teenagers doing that sort of thing nowadays, 'raar'... pass me my slippers now that's fierce. Actually, what am I talking about, mobile phones, it happens all the time, except with a mobile I guess you can't really get away with the pseudo disclosure of 'erm, this is for a school project'.

Cats, what do they think about? I know they don't use words, and you can't really comprehend how they understand the world. Robin, my cat, just stares at things, he must be thinking about something. He's staring at me now, in a few minutes he'll go back to staring at a wall I expect.

'Do you dream in chocolate?’ that’s weird, right?! That’s the subconscious power of advertising right…wrong… than you need - insert some sort of commercially clichéd line. It's stuck in my head and driving me nuts, I don’t even watch that much TV. Why are you there Lindt chocolatiers!

Picked up this rather lovely 1974 Penguin book. Illustrated by Gerald McDermott. I really like the graphic and bold imagery. The art work was rendered in gouache and ink.

Bit of an experiment; though I'd draw using a really old iMac today...veerryy slooow, Photoshop barely functions. See how I work around it...in a limitation alters process kinda way- forcing me to go simple rudimentary on my Mac, was liberating graphic fun. Zzz's all round to the sleepy theme.

Hhmm, I wonder if there will be any issues with the new box of tricks...I don't even own one, but I've read about issues with Microsoft's hardware...people go royally nuts over this sort of news.
