Always seems to smash it

so does this radio show from Manchester for a studio workout in your slippers surrounded by talking jossticks, although i have a slight issue with the fact it always seems to be sunny in Manchester on a sunday when the show is done? Manchester is a place that made waterproof jackets fashionable. Eightysix’s Sunday radioshows are the musical microclimate that carriy me through the working week, give them a listen and bless.

OFF CANVAS – Ben Eine from Studio Stare on Vimeo.

In October 2011, Converse proposed an unconventional approach to support China’s first-ever Design Week launching in Beijing.

Converse created “OFF CANVAS”, a street-level exhibition of typography featuring six international and local artists notorious for their artistry of words. Culling from the diverse worlds of graphic design, art, and graffiti, the installations revealed communities and canvases where China’s emerging scenes in indie music, art, fashion and skate are based.

If you haven’t yet been to the V&A’s Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green (http://bit.ly/kNinC), you really should. It’s a wonderful trip down memory lane full of ‘i had one of those!’ moments.

When I was last there I noticed this Peter Blake print entitled Parade, featuring toys from the museum’s collection.

It’s a cracking print and you can buy it here: http://bit.ly/ABnPCS.

Until next time.

Fantastic piece from Jonathan Yeo, ‘poking’ fun at Arnie (it’s a collage of images taken entirely from porn magazines).

Guess it serves him right for having an affair with the babysitter’s grandma (something like that anyway http://bit.ly/iAztSJ).

Buy Arnie here: http://bit.ly/zoTF9Q.

Until next time.

If you’re in London, Wolverhampton or Helsinki then you may be lucky enough to catch one of the screenings of the The Toasters “Everywhere”.

VNA also have a competition to win a painted popcorn box, which is pretty sweet!

Using poster pens, spray paint and stencils, Marcelina and Mr Hicks transformoned one of the official Big Egg Hunt eggs into a work of art. With the theme of “Baku” as a starting point, their distinctive designs create an original and quirky addition to the Big Egg Hunt, which will take place in February.
