many thanks to ‘rosa’ for sending me this edible, well-crafted (and delicious) letter ‘m’ this week, see how she created the whole ‘chocography’ series herself by hand here, looks fun…
me news
tower of power
great old commercial featuring none other than john lennon, i remember fondly visiting the london piccadilly branch to buy vinyl, back in the day at art school (he said with a whiff of nostalgia) see also the tower records project (via ‘boy bastiaens’)

opening early 2013 in the hague: a group exhibition of work from 42 third-year (KABK) photography students on the theme of ‘beauty’ and how we look at ourselves
mapping the bomb census
it is hard to imagine what it is like being in a heavy bombing raid unless you have been there yourself i guess
my dad was evacuated from london as a child and like many of his generation spent the worst part of the blitz on london living in the countryside, this infographic mapping the bomb sites street for street gives a pretty vivid feel of the enormity of the situation… especially when you pull back and see how many bombs there were in total; the city literally disappears behind red dots..
