Spring through the Holga

Well it was spring, now the weather is miserable but we have to be indoors anyway working on the mag. /M

Some MAD moments

Walking to the Globe Cafe after the Monika magazine launch at Donlon Bookshop and having lunch outside Ana's when the planes returned to the London sky after the ash break. /M

May

May is the best month of the year, though I'm not very impressed with it so far this year.

These photos are from a film I took in May 2008. My parents came over and surprised

me for my birthday and our first year at LCC was almost over. The top image is some

letterpress I did for a project about the month of May. /M

London view

Close to Stoke Newington, on the bike.


Nice Muslim patterns in Dalston.


Interesting lamp in exhibition space (close to Bricklane).


Graffiti on wall (Regents Canal walk).


Random London. All good. Love living here.

Pick Me Up

▲ Great signage by Anthony Burrill and No Days Off. Books and prints from Nobrow.

▲ If we weren't students we would have bought a print from Claire Scully for sure.

▲ More from Claire Scully. Lovely print in the Print Club London room.

▲ Ana checking out more Nobrow.

▲ Really nice illustrations from Natsko Seki.

▲ Nice work by Melvin Galapon.

▲ Andy Gilmore.

▲ Nice poster from the print room. Lovely print by Paula Castro.

▲ Rob Ryan had moved his entire studio to Somerset House.

▲ Evening Tweed and Nous Vous.

We went to Pick Me Up at Somerset House today and we would really recommend everyone else to go there too (it's on till Monday). Lots of beautiful prints and illustrations, expect to spend a few hours in order to have a proper look at it all. You can buy a lot of prints there, even some specially made for Pick Me Up that are a bit cheaper or you can make your own in the print workshops. Rob Ryan has moved his whole studio there for the fair and it was fascinating to see them create his amazing cut out images.

things

To pack six years of Londonlife into boxes is proving to be a bit of a challenge. I feel the need to document things, in case they all get lost but also because my next home will probably look very different. /M

We went to see Lina Scheynius' exhibition on Mare Street the other week. Her photography is so beautiful and personal, I wish I could live in her world. I'm hoping that summer travels and growing a longer fringe might be one step closer to that dream...

A bit of dye can make me smile. Love to put it all inside the washing machine and to see what happens. Yellow time!
