Feasting Never Stops

I sincerely love eating and drinking. I’m probably not going to stop liking it either. I’m a strong believer in the idea that a food and drink lover’s worst enemy is convenience. That’s probably the main reason that I have been thoroughly enjoying the route that feastingneverstops.com is taking me at the moment. I noticed [...]

Rapha: A Throw of the Dice

I have just seen the new short film that Nick Livesy has produced for well-groomed cycling barons, Rapha. The film is an evocative but gritty take on the personal sacrifices of Johan Museeuw, twists, turns and history of one of the cycling calendar’s toughest races, the Paris Roubaix. Ridley Scott Associates have clearly had a [...]

James Pearson Howes

I’m loving the intrinsic folkiness of James Pearson Howes‘ photography work at the moment.

Entrances to Hell

One of the oddities of living in a city is that sometimes your thought patterns are so distorted and bombarded by everything around you that your senses occasionally back-pedal a little and wrap themselves around a focal point that you have previously dismissed as the mundane. With a cock of the head and a modulation [...]

Alien Invaders: Non-Native Species

Ive been meaning to add a post about this charming little guide since I was given it as a birthday present back in December. Its full title (as the picture suggests) is Alien Invaders: A Guide to Non-Native Species in the Britisher Isles and it was written by two artists called Jacob Cartwright and Nick [...]

Marion Dubier Clark

Go on then… Just one quick post before bed then. I’ve been enjoying the work of photographer Marion Dubier Clark quite a bit today. She’s been popping up fairly frequently on the likes of ffffound and I have to say that I think if I ever got married, I’d like her to take the pictures [...]
