It seems to have been a while since I last posted an entry…I got man-flu, then had to move house – that’s my excuse anyway. I have been busy though. Cog is thriving as always and I have been working on a new identity for a client for the last couple of months – all will be revealed soon.
In a little bit of time I conjured up, I visited the Céleste Boursier-Mougenot installation at the Barbican. A really interesting piece exploring the relationships between movement and sound. I did manage to get a quick photo before being told off (I wasn’t the only one taking photos!), which is the one shown above. Go and see it if you can.

I’m not sure I totally agree with the sentiment but this did make me chuckle this morning.
A little while back I thought train graffiti was a dying art but it now seems to be back with a vengeance, in fact there’s barely an overland or underground train I see that hasn’t had something scrawled on to it’s shell. However, with an apparent abundance of street ‘artists’ there seems to be a distinct lack of talent. I remember seeing graffiti as a kid in the 80s, and even into the 90s, and just being in awe at it’s sheer brilliance. Maybe that’s the “Curly Whirly Syndrome’ (you know, like when you were a kid and a Curly Whirly was the size of your arm – of course having nothing to do with the fact that your hands were the size of a 50 pence-piece) and standards were as bad then as they are now.

The last couple of days I have been documenting my journey into work in what can only be described as quite epic sunrises. I am going to get some of the results up on my Flickr account (it’s about time I uploaded something to it!) but I thought I would give a sneak-peek in case I don’t get round to it for a while. Above are a couple of nice examples – I love the flare you get off the dirty train windows.
