YO GABBA GABBA!



YO GABBA GABBA! This is a new Nick Jr show. It has a load of hip-hop/music stars envolved in it; Biz Markie has a regular spot with 'Biz's beat of the day'. You've probably already seen this but if not its worth a youtube session.

DOCUMENTATION C'ELINE DUVAL




These were a set of publications i found at the Kiosk exhibition. I've never heard of 'Documentation C'eline Duval' before. From Paris. WAMP WAMp. Everything they produced had a nice style to it.

PISS DOWN MY BACK AND TELL ME IT'S RAINING


This was a zine i saw at the Kiosk exhibition.
I was Just looking on the new Nieves site and realised that this was published by them. i think it may have been in pile next to the Nieves publications, belonging to a different publishers- so i thought it was by a different publisher, or i may just be confused.
I was very taken by the cover.
The zine is by a Swiss photographer called Linus Bill.
To look inside the zine, click on this N and it will take you to the Nieves site.

CAP AND GLASSES TWO-IN-ONE


Had an idea to create a cap and glasses two-in-one. The sunglasses would have no ear stem things and would be attached to the peak of the cap.
I'm going to use second hand, 80's - early 90's American, caps and glasses.
I'll post up pictures of it once i've made it.

sUPERpRETZEL SOFT PRETZELS


Super Pretzel box. Found this box in one of the freezer isles when i was doing some food shopping today.

WHEATIES CEREAL BOXES


Baseball box. Found another WHEATIES box today, this time with a baseball player. i thought that they might bring out a series with more basketball players on, but now i'm not too sure if that’s going to happen. I'll keep posting up the new WHEATIES boxes, and see if i can find more players.

SIDEWALK CHALK


Characters made out of chalk. I like the fact that for some reason they've decided to create characters out of vegetables and sea creatures, seems to be a satisfying combination.
I just watch the film "The squid and the whale" tonight; if you haven’t seen it I’d definitely recommend watching it.

MARK HUNTER


Mark Hunter. This guy just did alot of photography for Urban Outfitters; a couple of special lookbooks, one dedicated to mens trainers and the other to womens shoes. Posted are a couple of his photos from these books. Reading the back of the books is say that "Mark is a Jewish guy from LA who started photographing his friends at parties and documenting them on his blog thecobrasnake.com " it says that he went on to make a career out of taking pictures of other peoples friends. Not too sure how original this is, seems that it's been going on for a while, but he takes nice pictures.
If you're interested in this style of photography you should look at MATT IRWIN. www.myspace.com/lesscommonmoresense

NICE COLOUR WAY


My flash on the camera messed this photo up a bit, the turquoise colour i think is actually paitent, but the picture doesn't show this. Although these are only Dunks, the colour way is pretty nice.

WONDER BREAD SANDWICH CONTAINER


Probably the best thing i've seen since i’ve been here; A LUNCH BOX SHAPED LIKE A SANDWICH. congratulations.
Plus if any one also knows the WONDER BREAD packaging (pretty much the same branding as on the packaging for this), it's pretty sweet as well - may post a picture of it later on. You can also see it in the first HOME ALONE when Kevin goes to the store to get groceries.

YES WE'RE OPEN WELCOME


just found this 'open' sign whilst i was walking round the neighbourhood. It was on the door of a Chinese food shop.

$20 SCHWINN BIKE


This is my new bike. You can't really see that blue properly because of the light, but it's a little special.
Found this bike on Craigs list, which is pretty much the American equivalent of the friday add. (click on the photo to see it in detail)

WHEATIES CEREAL BOXES


Just found these whilst i was going round a grocery store.
Not too sure if WHEATIES produces boxes with different players on than just these two?- but will post more up if i find them.
