My tv’s digital signal as been so bad recently that I’ve been forced to watch all my old boxsets. I don’t think I appreciated just how awesome The Green Wing was the first time around.

exhibition: Pick Me Up

A nice hour spent today at Pick Me Up, a week long graphic art fair at Somerset House.

Walking through the exhibition you get to meet different collectives, most of whom have set up small shops to sell their work, a lot of which has been made just for the show. The highlight is the Anthony Burrill Workshop where anyone can get their hands dirty making fanzines.

Unfortunately I only had my mobile with me so the photos are particularly bad but some of my favourite bits are below.

You know when you hear a song and it’s all wrong and unimpressive but then you hear it quite unexpectedly and suddenly it sounds perfect? Well, that’s exactly what happened yesterday when I heard the new Strokes song as I sat outside under the sunshine in a park by the Thames eating a yummy fish finger sandwich. It’s funny how things can just come together like that.

It's Europe Week on Etsy which is obviously an excellent excuse for me to put up some items from European sellers that I've been lusting over.

My sister gave me a bag of fabric swatches last night, my favourite is the blue swallow print. I can’t wait to start playing with them.

Spring is on its way

Red Nose Day

Today is comic relief, the one day in the year when you’re most likely to meet someone sitting in a bath of baked beans. Shamefully I forgot to buy a red nose (I was holding out for one the pirate designs) but I think my mum made up for it by buying two of the Vivienne Westwood Red Nose Day tees. The Hogarth one in the photo is the one I got my grubby mitts on.
