Cup of Tea 0400

w00t w00t!

Just got back (Well, around an hour ago) from seeing Slow Club. Wow. I honestly forget how much I love live music until I get blown away by some amazing bands... My brawd once told me of a conversation he had with his wife (at the time girlfriend...) about the difference between a decent band and a great band. How a band she thought were good had played, and then the sound, performance and sheer presence of the great band had made her realize how good a live band can be.

It's so refreshing to see a wicked band in a small venue (Divas at Swansea Uni, abit of a dive but still...) and genuinely feel phonogramically (new word, read the comic dammit...) moved by the music. If you haven't heard them, check them out here! (pause the ghetto music further down the page obv...) Also their support, Summer Camp were epic, just bought their single Ghost Train off of itunes :) but if you're cheap, listen here!

Away from some Moshi Moshi love, some Cool for Cat's love. The newest flyer for Ellie's new night in Brixton at "The Rest is Noise". Hope you like it, if so drop a comment!




Sleepy time anyways, Night Night!

Cups of Tea 0397 - 0399

Ooooooh only one cup away from 400...

Done quite abit today, played Frisbee for abit on the beach with the boys (gawd I love this nice weather!), played some Red Dead (which is slowly becoming a favorite game...) and then spent the rest of my day (from 6 until now... a whole 6 hours :o) doing this stencil :D it's of a friend of mine (who I used to play a certain video game with that won't be mentioned...), she had a series of photos taken by John Andre Aasen (www.phokus.no they're Norwegian lol...) and I thought this one was such a nice portrait I had to combine two ideas I had to make this piece...

I wanted to do something for Gem and had a wierd, black and white vector (almost like a woodcut in my head) with a big pink flower in the hair, no idea why, just popped into my head. When I saw this image, the light and depth captured in it made me want to do a stencil of it! Thus, the flower and Eline were combined to produce this... I did one on a sheet of Plywood and 5 prints on some nice water colour paper... no idea what Imma do with them yet, possibly sell them quite cheaply to anyone who wants them... think my brawd will steal one of them -.-

Hope all parties involved with the original photograph, my lovely girlfriend who'll get the MDF version and you guys viewing this like it :)
