On a quest to find some inspiration for branding ourselves and to find some interesting hold for work we ventured to Camden and were lucky enough to to come across the launch of the new Cyberdog in Camden. The new interior is fantastic! They had girls dancing on balconies in the first room, the beams and logo at the entrance were decorated with neon acetate with embossed computer chip board patterns, downstairs is pretty huge, not as dark as the last location but possibly even louder and club-like . Behind the tills there were pulsing waveforms and a really nice touch I found were the bespoke cyberdog hangers white with horns. Cyber geek bliss! ^^
On notcot today I came across a guy called Oscar Woodruff who draws the most gorgeous illustrations, a-sketch-a-day.
I found I have recently got back into drawing and painting, every time I have come across a piece of beautiful design work I pine a little and use the infamous excuse of never having enough time to do anything. So my new mission is to forge time to produce some art worx! Here is a more recent sketch of mine:
On Woodruff’s blog I also came across a youtube clip of Alice in Wonderland that inspired one of his works.
It reminded me how one of Disney’s fantastical creations had fascinated me as a child, my dad threw it away along with Dumbo and I could never understand why! I had loved them! He said I had looked petrified. When I watched the film over a break home in Yorkshire it really did disturb me! However, I realise now the more a piece of film can toy with my emotions the more brilliant I find it

Just before Christmas I ventured to the new Saatchi gallery and one photographer keeps coming into mind when I reminisce on my visit; Zhang Peng. His compositions have a heightened sense drama and a sense of artifice and illusion from reality, they are anime-esque and futuristic . The subjects of his photographs are doll-like prepubescent Asian girls manipulated to look westernised appropriating our perception of beauty. His work addresses psychological pressure and alienation with tones of vulnerability and corruption. They are beautifully directed and evocative pieces.

I have been meaning to blog about this furniture piece Giant Teacup Chairs by Holly Palmer [2008 graduate from bucks uni] for a while. I saw this Alice in Wonderland-esque design at the 2008 degree show at my university and it has stuck in my mind ever since.! A simple, fantastical idea. It was also present at New Blood Exhibition in London as center piece for the Graphic Design & Advertising show.
