Beautiful losers
Watch Beautiful Losers, it's the best documentary I've seen in ages and alleviated some of the boredom of Christmas.

First day issue stamps from the 1980s
My Grandad used to run a village post office and would just stamp and send plain letters to me as soon as he got any new stamps in. I have only just been given these back - I think he must have known I would appreciate them one day.
Charles and Diana coin
I got this as a christening gift in 1981, lucky me! I think it's worth at least 75p now.

Ed Ruscha at Hayward Gallery
The most impressive thing about Ed Ruscha's work is his ability to paint a perfect, seamless gradient, as a graphic designer this baffles me as I would only ever be able to cheat. Get down to The Hayward, it's really worth seeing.

Lion leaving cake
This was my leaving cake, made my the multi talented Allison. I wish I had a picture of the inside, it was yellow and pink marble. It was slightly heart breaking to cut into his face!

Sting speaks the truth
I'm not a big fan of Sting but yesterday he hit the nail on the head when he criticised X Factor. I know he's not the only one who finds it depressing but at least when he speaks out people listen. I don't know why more musicians haven't expressed their opinions on the matter. I know people will argue it's 'just entertainment' but the viewing figures are so high it does suggest a lot people have their priorities seriously wrong. Read it here

L-O-S-E-R
I am crackers for posting so late from work last night. I am (un)officially freelance again now though, I will celebrate with half a shandy.

Last day
Tibor congratulated me on my last official day at work with this lovely image. I must be cursed as it's 1.33am and I'm still here -they are sure getting value for their money until the (bitter) end.

Weird
I just saw an advert for the new Gregg's 'Halloween chilli steak lattice'. That is just bizarre and gross and can only imagine it is so called as it would give you spooky shits for up to a week.

A family with Santa through the years
My friend Jane sent me these from Australia. I feel like the set is incomplete, but I imagine the other years are much the same with the sinister looking Santa and forced smiles. I've also added a delightful photo of Matthew sporting a cracking mullet.
100 year old Russian photos
It's hard to believe these images are 100 years old. They're by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, see more here
Thanks to Ellie for sending these! x

NKOTB souvenirs
We just did a photoshoot for WIAB so I bought a whole load of NKOTB memorabilia off Ebay. I literally have hundreds of items and I can't stop looking at them. I always thought they were a bunch of assholes but you can't knock their sartorial choices back in the day. Why does no one dress like this anymore? (apart from ironic twats in Dalston). Look at Joey's jeans (4th down) and as for Donnie he is just so gangsta -a rebel!

horse moustache
The new series of Shooting Stars isn't very funny but there have been a few gems, one of them being Vic's horse moustache - I cried.
Make Your Way Around Britain
When we shot Mary Jane for WIAB she also asked Emilie and I to photograph her for her trip around Britain which she explains here. Once again the lovely people at Madworld lent me the union jack cape that MJ is wearing as a skirt. For the record - I'm not a stylist ;)
This image was my main
inspiration for the set styling!

Walking in my mind at The Hayward
I managed to catch the last week of this exhibition. Like any group show it was hit and miss but I especially liked Keith Tyson and Yayoi Kusama's work. We walked inside Thomas Hirschhorn's cave and it just made me think not a lot is going in in his mind. He went to a huge effort to build this giant installation so it seemed a shame that it was so literal, there was even a teenage bedroom area -so he wasn't exactly reaching into the dark recesses of his imagination. Work was either shocking in a cliched way or slightly cautious as if the artists weren't brave enough to actually reveal the inner workings of their minds - from a visual perspective it was great though!
My new wellies
I'm going to Bestival this weekend so I bought some new wellies. I'm convinced that if I wear them it won't rain.
Dave's new website
This is one of the most striking images from Dave's new website, we had a lot of fun deciding who should make the list...

Don't Look Now at Somerset House
It was almost like seeing it for the first time, there is so much detail I had missed, this was truly incredible on the big screen. First photo is mine, second one courtesy of the magic of google.

Dazzle car
As I'm finally learning to drive at the age of 28 I'm beginning to take more of an interest in cars. I only like old cars but know if I bought one it would be a hunk of junk and I would spend a fortune getting it fixed. Look at this 'dazzle car'- I've just learned that dazzle painting was a camouflage technique used by allied forces during WW1. Ships were painted in large geometrical patterns and contrasting colours in an attempt to confuse the German navy. I might paint my car like this (when I get one), to confuse the pesky kids who always vandalise cars on our road.

Toothpaste kisses
I'm sick of being sick with only the internet and MTV for company -this video just cheered me right up. (I won't be doing this for the time being -it's not swine flu though honest).

Stevie Nicks and Grace Jones
I love Jim Lambie's work and he's recently made some very striking collages using found flower paintings that he's layered over famous pop posters.

Radiorama
I love the mum dancing and the menopause outfits from hell.
Why did people dress like they hated themselves in the 80s?
Yes, I know I should get off youtube and do some work.

Devon delights
I've just got back from a girls' weekend in Devon. We had the most perfect day yesterday that involved going to a beach, eating fish & chips, meeting a siamese cat, a cream tea, cocktails and a village fete. The fete was pretty special and it seems East Prawle is the place to be. We saw none other than royal correspondent Jennie Bond, Damon Albarn (looking really bizarre in an 'I love Devon' t-shirt and ill-fitting shorts) and the lead singer out of Curiosity Killed the Cat. I am quite glad to be home now as the abundance of horrific footwear (Crocs being the most common and offensive) and lack of bras on middle-aged women is enough to make me sick.

mild obsession
I have a mild obsession with the new Horrors album. They've gone in a really new direction as the album's produced by Chris Cunningham (I'm assuming it is THE Chris Cunningham) and Geoff Barrow of Portishead. They're going to get tired of My Bloody Valentine comparisons but worse things could be said.

7'' car boot beauties
Squeeze - Take Me I'm Yours (1978).
Blancmange - Blind Vision (1983)
I don't just buy them for their covers although these ones are pretty out there. I love that Squeeze song so it was a 50p well spent. Get down to Battersea car boot for some treasures but look hard and haggle hard!
