Cut&Paste [updated]

“Casual” hardly begins to explain the laid-back nature of the Cut&Paste preliminary round that took place on Sunday in a bar in Shoreditch. That said, it was more stressful for me than I imagined possible. I wasn't that happy with my effort really, feeing that my right hand wasn't mine and my drawing was atrocious. Results are posted in a couple of days announcing the successful 8 who go through to the next, and final round on October 20th (tickets/live webcast details tbc).

[UPDATE: I didn't get through :( Better luck next year mate.]

Environmental Graphics

I've been meaning to put this up for ages. On the way to work, a month or so ago, I saw this box on the street soaked from the continual rain that is becoming a bit tedious. The interaction between the environment and the graphics I doubt was seen by anyone else. So I grabbed it and continued on my way. The graphic is brilliant and I love how the water actually got in the glass and left it's mark.

Shamelss plug (for kittens)

Keep an eye out for this unusually named new drink in a bar near you. I'm looking forward to the evening when I hear, over a crowded and noisy bar, “…and a vodka n’pussy please mate.” It's all natural too which I guess is one less thing to worry about. Nice.
