Pakistan Flooding


A strangely beautiful photo I found on the Guardian website of an absolutely horrible situation.

Andrew Joyce


I just found Andrew Joyce's card amongst stuff beside my bed and I really like his style of illustration so thought I would share his website so you can also have a look.

Esther McManus


A while ago I went to Here gallery which is based in Stokes Croft in Bristol. They had an eclectic exhibition called 'Don't be sad' on, which featured a group of recent Bath Spa graduates. They were giving out postcard packs in stripy paper bags, one of the nicest postcards for me was Esther McManus's. She seems to have a quite wide range of intriguing work too!

Tip Jars


I found this tip jar in Mr Scruff's tea shop on my recent trip to Manchester, it worked for me! There are some other good ideas here.

Anthony Stokes


Anthony Stokes is a really interesting photographer I found a while ago whilst in Cardiff Museum and Art Gallery. I like his take on what others might see as mundane or normal buildings and streetscapes. I looked at him for my project on people and possessions he has published a book on 'The Valleys' which you can purchase here. I particularly like the doll house appearance of this new build house above.

We really liked our van which we called Vinny but I also liked to take photos of other peoples as they were all so beautifully done, here are a few examples:

On my way to the train station this morning I found this note, the content is a bit confusing but I think quite possibly anti Semitic?
