Featured Artist::: Alice Pasquini aka AliCé

It’s nice to discover a new artist int it…

Sister wall

The Italian lady who resides on Rome but has formally lived in the UK, in London. Her art has a very feminine and emotive feel to them than many pieces you see on the London streets do not display. The look in the eyes of the characters seem to tell a story and one which the viewer can draw their own conclusions to. There are a few pieces from AliCé in London but they are not easy to find… Check out Blackhall Street in Shoreditch…. they might still be there

White ArtBox Installation at St Pancras

White Artbox

The red phone boxes are as English as double decker buses, pie ‘n’ mash, The Queen, Oscar Wilde, Bowie, the village pub and queueing. Now BT have launched their art campaign to redesign the iconic boxes, 4 white versions have been placed at London’s Kings Cross St. Pancras.

A gallery event will take place at the National Portrait Gallery on July 18th featuring re-imagined telephone boxes by such creative types as Giles Deacon, Zandra Rhodes and Keith Tyson. The activity is a fundraiser for ChildLine so even more reason to like it. Go Esther Rantzen

I like these choices, but what about a UK street artist like Stik or Eine or even Robbo if he is back on his feet yet, surely that is representative of the more urban side of London?

Utterly Amazing – Epic Installations – Heike Weber

I love this, not an awful lot more to say about these huge installations that stretch around entire rooms from floor to ceiling. I have just had an idea for my bathroom…..

Ultimate doorstep

I can only imagine how long this would take in the size of the rooms she is working in but the finished result is something that is more than worth the time invested.

Stik man on the move….

Just a little update to Stik man just off Old Street. Quite cute and a nice commentary on people wanting to take street art away with them.

Before I Die….. Inspir-art

New Orleans has seen some things in recent years and not much positive but this is something which has galvanised a community and then spread around the world.

What began as a way for locals to record their hopes and aspirations soon became a way of bringing the neighbourhood together and soon got national awareness, so far similar walls have popped up in Brooklyn, Amsterdam, Portsmouth and Lisbon to name just a few.

There is a lot of art on the walls around London, some of it means fuck all but something like this could have been a great thing post London riots to help with communities understanding of one another. Post those events there was a whole lot of misunderstanding as to why the riots happened and who was to blame…. Maybe this is a bit idealistic of me but….

What’s this?

Ahhh I get it...

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.

Moon on a string

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…

Basically I love Kate Moss

Hot

Usually when people ask me what is my ideal women, I reply one with no tits and a big cock, but if I was offered a date / shag / candle lit dinner for two with la Moss then the absence of a rather large appendage would not worry me one bit. This may be due to the fact that I read this weekend that she has her own large silver bullett…

Natural

I digress, so basically she is my idea of a great women for numerous reasons

1. Model and beautiful

2. Brilliant style away from the catwalk

3. Shags rock stars

4. Has shagged Johnny Depp

5. Likes a party

6. Not afraid of an orgy

7. Wicked sense of humour

8. Knows her strength is the look… a wise man once said ‘why open your mouth and speak then confirm you are a fool’ or words to that effect

9. Girl knows her music

10. Came out with the quote…’Nothing tastes as good as skinny looks’ Whether this was said in jest or not, I care not. It is a great soundbite and one I have quoted before…

One drawback may be her mothering skills but we have no evidence of this and the kid will grow up cool and independent right?

Cover star

Anyways… pretty lazy post but following the visually striking Dazed & Confused exhibition I finally got around to seeing on Sunday at Somerset House, it reminded me of how stunning she is and how she was quite a regular in that rather defining publication.

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
