A scrapbook of photos, images and videos that inspire me or just make me smile.
Would you believe it, we’re half way through the May festival of Artists’ Open Houses already, with one weekend of bad weather and one of sunshine under our belts. As a trail rep of Beyond the Level and an exhibitor therein, I’ve been covering much the same ground as in previous years (i.e….
Sir Jonathan Ive talks about drawing and beauty
Donna & Chris (by fred pipes) - decided to look at a stack of old oil paintings I did last century!
Hmm the new Brighton Festival poster seems to be an homage to Milton Glaser’s Dylan poster, with Charles Rennie Mackintosh typography… very vibrant Brighton! (via Brighton Festival brochure revealed (From The Argus))
Computer assisted drawing
Paul Brown’s computer artworks are real eye twisters - hours of meditative fun!
The Electric Man! (via cyberneticzoo.com » Blog Archive » 1894-1914 – Electric Man – Perew – (American))

Do you like Top Trumps? Do you like collecting card things? I do. Now you can get your mitts on a brand new set (via SEO Top Trumps Blogging Competition « Silicon Beach Training Blog). Any idea what an SEO is? No, I don’t either, maybe I’ll Google it… Maybe they tell you on one of the cards?
The last lot I acquired was during the 2004 Edinburgh Comedy Festival. I don’t think it’s a full set, as you had to traipse around all the venues to collect them all, and who has time do that. Most of the comedians I’d never heard of. But some I had. Rob Brydon has a Snogability index of 7, as do Robin Ince and Marcus Bradstock. Up and coming Chris Addison only gets a zero, but Ross Noble gets a stonking 10! Poor old Stewart Lee also got a nought. He also got a Paramount Shock Factor of 0 - zilch - hasn’t he come along since then! Not surprisingly Puppetry of the Penis got a Shock Factor of 11, off the scale, and an impressive Snogability of 9, but there are two of them…
There is a list of all the possibles on one of the cards. Maybe I should get onto eBay and complete the set. I’m still a bit of a Tumblr dunce, so if you want to read what’s on the cards above, here’s a link to Flickr. And to be on the safe side, here’s another link to Silicon Beach. Now how do I find the URL of this particular posting?
Great street art! (via Le meilleur du street art en 2011 | Video Humour Jeu Flash Buzz et Site Drole et Insolite)
