Moon Art…. This is a first for my peepers
I work in marketing and a previous numbskull of a boss who rarely came up with any good ideas but claimed everyone else’s ideas, once piped up with this corker. That he was going to project the logo of one of our very well known clients on to the moon. F-ing dork. That just reinforced my thought that we leave the moon alone to be pretty, signify flouro influenced parties on Thai islands and to beckon the wolves out when full.
Turns out I was bang wrong.

This by Laurent Lavder proves I was bang wrong, following on from a previous post Cheekie lil ruskie here is another brilliant and playful; use of the world we live in to create images. I personally like the reading one most but they are all pretty sweet

Hennesey says Damien Hirst is a dick... so there
This guy is the boy, funny, irreverent, great range of hats, hip hop jewelry with not hit (or major hint of) irony. Plus he has managed to identify the clear similarities between Damien Hirst and wanker for all season Bono. It has never sat that easily with me that Hirst gets minions to do his actual handy work… so basically no different to Mr Brainwash then. And they both get paid shit loads… I have just had an idea…

Making a spectacle
Street art should, in my opinion build on the surroundings and make them better, it should not stand out for the sake of standing out, it should never merely blend either. A tricky tightrope you might say.
Street light
This is the first time I have come across Pavel Puhov but I love the way he toys with his surroundings in order to take everyday mundane objects and makes them into something different and artistic. Everyday objects such as spectacles or a torch can be something quite enchanting
Lights and shadows
I stumbled across these pieces which he did recently in Russia on thisiscolossal.com

I may have said I was bored with QR codes but…. here is another use for QR codes – Creating a FB style comments wall that users can add to. Could be great for Secret gigs / events to send people to venues or as a tool to share information about an area. Citizen Tourism
dems ugly but dems lets y'al go on that there web thingy
The future is here, see for yourself. The glasses that allow you to see virtual content, go online and even play video games. Will also result in numerous people walking into walls, under buses etc…

Stik-y
Props to Londonist for creating the a London street map outlining where Stik pieces can be seen, even some that have disappeared.
Map Stick Man
Stik started putting his simplistic yet strangely emotive pieces around East London about 10 years ago and they can be seen from Hackney Wick, Well St, Hommerton, Brick Lane and throughout Shoreditch. When I first moved to East London in 2002, I remember spotting them and taking pictures on a snappy snap. Now 10 years down the track I still look out for new ones and this map has even been verified by the man himself.

A little taste of Thailand…..
So I have spent two weeks in Thailand and took a Sony bloggie to get shots and do a few updates but… lost it and went tanning instead. Therefore not lots of images and a lack of cool graf found.

Christmas learnings 2011…
Santa.... why do I only get 3 presents a year now?
1. Children get far more for Christmas than I ever remember getting… jealous
2. I love kids but am certainly not ready for them because they curtail the drinking, bring the rowdy behaviour to an end at bedtime so as to not wake them and finally wake up crazy early

3. Christmas TV is on the whole shite, only Ab Fab raised a smile and even then Jane Horrocks looked about 90 as Bubbles and the woman who played Baron the ex-con hardnut gave a thoroughly unconvincing London street accent. I was also forced to sit through Michael McIntyre, having needles shot into my scrotum from five paces would have been preferable. This was a great opportunity for a Frozen Planet special I think
4. No matter how much alcohol you drink it is tough to get any further than tipsy
5. I can eat twice my weight on Christmas day without any guilt or trouble
6. Baked camembert should only be allowed at Christmas as it is the best thing in the world ever
7. My mum will buy me the exact same fragrance every year, I like Vera Wang but now have enough at home to fill a dwarf’s swimming pool
8. Executing successful small talk with extended family requires patience, understanding, additional facial muscles to put on smiles and a whole load of wine
9. Listening to Christmas music should be allowed for one hour before we then actually put on music we like, such as old soul, bit of funk (Daft or otherwise), some Stones (Rolling or Roses), maybe a little Phil Collins, random 80’s hits, some new music and of course So Solid Crew…. Tut tut tut 21 seconds
10. It is lovely fun seeing your family, especially when there are little people who still believe in the real meaning of Christmas, which is of course Santa and not the religious bollocks. But… essentially there is a reason it is once a year and for the rest of the time you are with your friends
StandardFact is heading toThailandfor 2 weeks to sleep, swim, be massaged, go to full moon parties and tan. Got to pack so can not be bothered to put loads of hyperlinks in. Enjoy Daft Punk tho…..
Hunger Strike
Rankin y'al
Rankin – Now he may be a bit of a so and so at times but you cannot deny this guy is the boss when it comes to portrait photography. I have a few of his books and visually the shots are amazing as there is a real story to each one and he captures a moment like no one else I have seen. He can makes things unbelievably sexy or extremely dark or painfully morose or any other number of emotions.
His latest venture is Hunger Magazine, which as you would expect is painfully cool in terms of look, feel and content and in an age where everything is digital it is nice to be able to buy something to hold. i-D has helped launch, shape and chart the creativity of numerous people in its 20 years and Hunger may well have the same sort of influence.
