Also of interest is the re-versioning of the get-a-mac ad’s for the UK using Mitchell & Webb.
The perfect choice for sure, but what makes it interesting is that it’s the first time in years and years that Apple have rolled out anything but the US ad’s with the simplest of currency changes. The US […]

I love photo-mosaics. I find them fascinating.

Also check out his earlier portraits of mass consumption for lots of beautiful pictures of rubbish.

Not quite the acid-folk fusion sound i’ve been hunting for all my life, but very pleasant nonetheless - and bonus […]

We’re having some really crap weather here in England.
It seems to have been rainy, windy and dark most of the time since before Christmas. Occasionally the sun punches through for a while to reveal some gorgeous skies, but mainly it’s been grey and cold and miserable for days on end.

My turn to fess up, having been tagged by Claire in this season’s blog meme.
1. Tom is not my real name.
