I just broke another pair of headphones. I pulled them a little too hard when they somehow got stuck in the arm leans of my brother's oddly constructed office chair, and now everything but the treble sounds...them once in a while.

Look what I found on Etsy – crochet food! I’m constantly amazed by the sort of stuff people come up with. There are pizzas with toppings of pepperoni, olives, capsicums. High tea pastries of blueberry...colours and shapes and spend hours of pretend masak masak play… ” But in reality I know the first thing she’ll do is try to see how many food pieces she can stuff into her mouth. Sigh.
Don't Panic are holding a competition in association with Lowlife clothing to design a new belt for their range. Judged by the band Cancer Bats , the entrants are encouraged to come up with an eye...loved the idea of being warned "Not to Cross the Lowlife"... otherwise look what happens?! The competition is on until the 28th August 2008 . Check all the details on the Competition Website...
Over the next few weeks, I aim to update and improve the functionality of the deviouscreations.co.uk projects page . Right now, the layout and navigation work well, but there is no clear dividing line... I may also update the background to that of this blog, to increase continuity between the two websites. Meanwhile, there's a few design contests I'm looking to enter this month. More on that soon.
Currently showing at the London College of Communication until the 27th August, The 2008 AOI Images 32 exhibition has over 350 examples of innovative and inspiring contemporary illustration.

I forgot to mention that I finished reading " Her Majesty's Dragon " some time ago. Despite a slightly cheesy tone in places, its a very enjoyable book with well written characters and a storyline that...if you make it so horrendously off-putting to the consumer. I shall be avoiding ALL " Copy Controlled " CDs from now on.. and organisations wonder why so many people use torrents / P2P networks?
Following a highly successful launch in 2007, San Miguel's Hidden Depths returns this summer with five one-off music and media events held in London and Manchester. The nights promise to reward those...to write reviews of both the Chromeo and It's Pop It's Art gigs, but we have been given 3 copies of the Glimmers album to give away in our very own competition. More news on that soon!
