The Underbranded Thong

Wanted to share this with you. First in a long line of products with ultra low brand values. Just need to go to This is not a brand’s shop at Cafe press.

This Is Not A Brand

I started the gallery in the belief that it would give me a stable income without a huge amount of effort but I find I’m putting huge amounts of effort into novel projects. Fragments is coming up soon (more about that later) and a new project This Is Not a Brand is warming up over […]

Image of the Week 3

I can’t decide between these two images. The first is Jon Coffelts Wallet Wall. A wall of wallets made out of duct tape, a trend, that Jon started.

What do I like about it? I think the sheer centrality of wallets to our culture. Wallets, purses, handbags. It makes me wonder why we haven’t seen art […]

Are You Adaptable?

I thought I knew what being adaptable meant, being open to change too but then I picked this up from an essay that accompanies the current MoMA show; Design and the Elastic Mind.

Once I got looking at the Mad Men sequence I came across Cartoon Brew which is […]

Iris Scan

Call me sentimental but I can’t resist the sheer beauty of the Kaprov scans. Here is one of Irises. Some are real flowers and some are plastic.

Varoom

Like many journalists I ignored the power of the visual during most of the time I was scribbling away. Increasingly it is hard to get time to write well never mind contemplate the visual. It was a delight to find the Illustrator magazine Varoom’s website and this image.

New Image

This is an E.J. Carr photo. Can’t quite pin down what I like about it .
E.J. is due in the gallery soon and in Ten Cubed later this month.

PG the VJ

I’m sure the familiarity that the 20 - 30 year age group have with technology, the way it has infused our lives, is having an effect on the visual landscape but what I like about this image is that it’s dear old Peter Greenaway, film director, maker of some iconic movies in his time, […]
