Bang Bang Bang

Track of the Summer, if we get one, will be Bang Bang Bang by Mark Ronson, you heard it here first. I should really talk more about design shouldn't I? Actually I can't at the moment as I'm working on a top secret job, all will be revealed...

One and a half tracks in...

Only one and half tracks in and I'm already loving this album!

Tracey Thorn

New Tracey Thorn album landed today, my soundtrack to the day...

Hot hot hot

Loving this global warming... shame I'm stuck in front of my Mac!

New one from Martha...

New album from Martha Tilston landed on the doormat this morning, woohoo!

Neglecting...

I've been neglecting my blogging duties, due to a 148 page behemoth of a brochure for sunbeds and lotions - going to print this week! The corner of a small dark room awaits...

Guru

RIP Guru. Jazz Thing legendary track...

The final push...

Busy few days getting things done before a week-long break... projects including sun lotions, wine-tasting, gourmet food evenings, bridal shops, building companies.

New word

Learnt a new word today... décolleté. Means low-slung/cleavage... don't ask!

BA Strike!

BA just announced a 4-day strike from 27th March. Should just be OK for my 3rd April flight to Marseille... hurrah!

Lots of filing!

Mac & backup disc are now nearly full so spent last night and this morning filing onto DVD. Waste of time but essential!

Yellow thing in the sky?

As Twittered by Jason Manford today... What's this yellow thing in the sky? It's burning my eyes. I must worship it...

Mother's Day

It's all about Mother's Day flyers and logo design for a building company today. iTunes is on shuffle but seems to be playing a lot of Foo Fighters, must be because I've got all their albums!

Break anyone?

Just finished updating the 'La Maison des Artistes' website... anyone fancy getting away from all this rain? http://www.lamaisondesartistes.co.uk/

Children's Centres

Just designing a folder for a kiddie's nursery. Have to reprogramme my creative juices from yesterday's tanning product job to a more child-friendly state of mind! Blackmagic by Jose James is the accompanying soundtrack...

Carnage

Came downstairs this morning to find Coco the kitten had dragged a pigeon through the catflap. Feathers everywhere and one deceased bird.

Green Tea

I'm into my green tea at the moment... worried it may be a bit pretentious... might put 6 sugars in my next cup...

No rest...

No rest for the semi-wicked. It's Saturday and there's about 100 cut-outs to do. Luckily the new Jose James album just arrived...

What's on the menu...

So what's on the menu today... gastropubs, bridal shops, recording studios, pharmaceuticals and self-tanning bronzer lotions... a lovely mish-mash of projects.

Early night...

OK... 3 flyers, 2 logos, 1 branding and 100 cut-outs to do by the end of the week... this calls for a 7am start tomorrow.

Lotions & potions

Just spent 2 days solid designing a brochure for sun bed tanning lotions. Feel quite pale now...

Was a busy day yesterday...

Was a busy day yesterday, and all was in control until a City law firm wanted a couple hours of my time, then playing catch up for the rest of the day...

Feathers everywhere!

Went down to the kitchen this morning to find feathers everywhere. Our kitten Coco had caught a bird and had a plucking good time with it. Looked around the kitchen and there it was, a bald bird hiding behind the pepper mill. Caught it with a tea towel and set it free. What a feelgood feeling!

Busy, busy...

Busy one today... started work at 7am... Valentine's, Golf, Pharmaceuticals...

Doves

Some Doves called for on today's soundtrack. The track '10:03' really gets the creative juices flowing...

Soundtrack for the morning?

mmm... now what's the soundtrack for this morning?

I fancy a bit of the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens...

Got some soft feminine branding to design, Mr Stevens may help!

Ice Ice Baby

Did a 40 mile bike ride yesterday and managed to slip and fall on ice, as did half the field at the 'Hell of Ashdown'!

Nice scabby elbow and aching hip joint now, thankfully mouse and keyboard fingers uninjured...

Working, working...

Just working on some new material for a large pharmaceutical company, whilst listening to Benji B's Soulful Beats podcast...

JT

... and boo for John Terry...

Go Alex!

Yay for Alex Reid!

Big Bruv

I'm secretly hoping Alex wins tonight. A cross-dressing cage-fighter with a bizarre girlfriend, it's all that's great about British eccentricity, plus he seems a nice guy! GO ALEX...

I think I'm turning Folky I really think so.

Working on some things for Dune, listening to the relaxing folky tones of Martha Tilston.

New Website goes live!

Just uploaded brand new website while listening to Gilles Peterson podcast... can't beat a bit of Gilles on a Wednesday afternoon.

Testing, testing

It's the 2nd of January 2010 and I'm testing the brand new Lanta Creative Tweetblog... watch this space.
