chalk dust

some beautiful chalk type murals from dana tanamachi, nice to think that so much work goes into something that is so temporary… (via ‘fontanel’)

sore thumbs

i’m working on a new typographic illustration at the moment, this time without string, just pins, which requires a whole different approach than the previous pieces i’ve made, but still results in me having sore thumbs and fingers for days… the line is an amusing quote from author dylan thomas which i came across recently…

life in a day

i’m late with this one, so apologies if you’ve already seen it everywhere else, but i still felt t worth a post… an incredible, yet simple idea: directors kevin macdonald & ridley scott asked people all over the world to film a day in their own life, in fact all on the very same day: the 24th of july 2010, a staggering 80,000 people did just that and the resulting film life in a day has already premiered a few weeks ago on you tube, the cinema release follows shortly, i’ve not seen it but cannot help but feel that it must be amazing, by sheer volume and the audacity of the idea alone…
