The art of looking sideways

Yesterday I went to Kemistry gallery with Barbara. Alan Fletcher's 'The art of looking sideways' exhibition was on. A big selection of the original pages of the book were displayed in clear polly pockets nailed to the walls in a grid. There were his handwritten preliminary notes, collages of images and newspaper cuttings and you could see how they were then transferred into book form. We both agreed it was easier to take in these insights in this way, I guess there was less information and it was all laid out for you:



Some drawings I did:

I like this ink typeface

Portable home for a hamster

I found this woolworths bag on the floor in bethnal green yesterday, it will be worth something one day :)

moving house

A drawing I did of a lovely house I would like to moving in to, but I'm very happy with my new Kingston home :)

I found this cute ribbon in the Albert Cuyp market in De Cuyp, Amsterdam, I would love to live there after my degree. I went to the most delicious Moroccan restaurant there called 'Bazar' - you have to go if you make a visit!

this would be a good trim to photocopy onto a 'house zine'

Juxtapoz

Juxtapoz is a cool graphic + art magazine, I have only bought it once, but there was so much in it. Recently I have been checking out there blog:
http://www.juxtapoz.com/Home


On it I came across Mark Whalen, a brilliant illustrator - his work speaks for itself!


I love this picture if him, I know that if I was painting that line now I would probably smudge it, I want to get back to that calm state of drawing/painting.

even better graphic design

This is the business card for a social network inspired restaurant in Gran Canaria. I think it seems a bit off-putting to eat at a place that makes you think about cooking faces. The 'natural'  & 'fresh' vibe they want to give off isn't really shown here, but it's a cool manipulation of the trademark facebook.

a great piece of graphic design

Just because it's got my name in it.
