Here’s a quick look at a new image we’ve created for Casio to celebrate our exhibition opening at The Lazy Dog Gallery in Paris. If you’re not being affected by the credit crunch yet, an exclusive one-off Foamex edition of the print is available from the gallery throught the course of the exhibition.
A big thank you to everyone who dropped in to our exhibition opening last night. It was a cold evening and the entire Paris transport system was on strike, so we really appreciated that so many people still made the effort to come. Thanks again to BKRW, G-Shock and The Lazy Dog Gallery for making it all happen! The show is now open until the 21st February (an extra week ‘by popular demand’!), so please pass by if you’re in the area.

There are more nice words and pictures on the show at the following sites:

+ A special thank you to the Simian Mobile Disco lookalikes, Benjamin & Fred – you made my night!
The Apple Macintosh is 25 years old today. But Apple has been around a little longer than that – this is apparently the first ever TV ad for Apple from 1977. I kinda prefer this to the shiny advertising they do today?
Get well soon Steve.
We’re very pleased to announce our first solo exhibition at The Lazy Dog Gallery in Paris, in association with our friends at BKRW and G-Shock. The show opens on the 29th January and runs through until the 14th February. We’ll have a lot of new pieces on show including artwork for DC Recordings, Versatile Records, Simian Mobile Disco, Nightmares On Wax, Sixpack, LoDown and WAD amongst others!
If you’re in Paris next Thursday please pop in to say hello at the opening event from 6pm-9pm.
+ To celebrate the launch of the show, we’re giving away a free download of ‘Labocatocs’ by The Emperor Machine courtesy of DC Recordings. We were very honoured to feature in the track title and it’s a pleasure to be able to offer the track for free during our exhibition (The only catch is you need to sign up to our unobtrusive newsletter here!).
I don’t think there are many British graphic designers working today who would not count Tony Hart as an influence in some way. RIP Tony.
It’s time to disgrace the dancefloors of Paris once again. We will be at La Fleche d’Or tomorrow night for a big DC Recordings extravaganza! The Emperor Machine, The Oscillation and new boys Higamos Hogamos all perform live, whilst Cosmo Vitelli, Depth Charge, Padded Cell and UK Acid House pioneer, James Dyer will all be on the decks.
See you in the conservatory.
“Close is an exhibition of photographs that show us a world our eyes cannot see.”
I attended the opening of the new Jason Tozer exhibition at The Print Space last night. There are some very nice examples of macro photography in the show, my favourites being the close-ups of soldering iron. It’s now open until 10th Feb, and is worth popping in to if you’re in the area.
There’s an insightful article on the Creative Review blog outlining how Jason creates his images.
Another memory from my childhood. The Tomorrow People was a UK sci-fi series aimed at gullible kids like myself. The title sequence was beautiful.
New addition to the La Boca shoe cupboard (was after these for a while!).
