My site recently received props from the man I believe to be the foremost design commentator in this country. He recently wrote a State-of Design article that received lots of Twitter attention around the world. Michael write a little piece about the agency which you can see here: http://linefeed.presspublish.info/2692 and a great article about Beci which you can see here http://linefeed.presspublish.info/2690
The linefeed site design is unpretentious even taking unpretentiousness to the extreme of not being ironically minimal in its design. Wow, that’s a complicated statement but it’s the best way I can describe my observation. If you care about design, check it out. It’s quite all-encompassing and caters to the pedestrian use of design, including user experience of city design, as well as speaking to the design nerd.

I have totally overestimated my technical skills and can’t embed ‘Holly’. So here is a still and a link to the film.
I really think you should watch this as Holly is Hot and I think she is going to be big soon.

Beci did this gorgeous ident for me a while back and now Caravan is live, I can show it. The brief was for it to have a gypsy feel. The site was a project Damien and I did together and it’s a sublet and housing swap resource for creatives only. Us traveling Wolkensteins could have really used a resource like this over the past few years, so I decided to build it myself. To see the ident in context (or why don’t you just go nuts and place a free listing?) click here.

You might have noticed my natty little ads running down the LHS of my site. If you’d like a space for free (free for one month and no obligation from then on), just drop me a line. My RSS isn’t the most viewed site in the universe, but I can tell you that the kind of people who look at it are quite a targeted audience. The kind of people who look at my site are other photographers, creatives, art buyers, other stills production houses, and you can bet on a few other agents coming on here to check it out. So the ad space is perfect for freelance stylists, make up artists, web designers, studios, model makers, prop houses etc. Drop me a line any time.

I have two really expensive silk scarves. One is Matthew Williamson and the other is Alexander McQueen. I have been known to team them with $40 American Apparel wife beaters, and cheap as chips Zara basics and people think I am minted. It’s true. Scarves are a much better ‘investment’ piece than bags or shoes. And the other best thing about scarves is that they don’t date. Go look for an Hermes scarf on eBay and tell me if you can find one for under $200 even at 30 years old. The prints become an icon of the time rather than a nasty reminder of a trend. Tru$t Fun’s digitally printed fractal scarves are available here . The site has been redesigned. Check out Fashematics (which the mainstream mags seem to so love ripping off at the moment). And buy a scarf. Grazia Magazine and RUSSH magazine think it’s a great idea. Grazia ran two bits of editorial (Mark Vassallo knows a good thing when he sees it) and RUSSH has a DPS. Lyn and Tony shot the scarves and the shots are nothing short of incredible.
(Note: Tru$t Fun is Jonathan Zawada, Annie Wright, and Shane Sakkeus)

I wanted to post a piece about Jonathan’s zine, kindly printed by Izrock publishing. But it has already sold out. I’m too late. This might be interesting info for the group at Clemenger BBDO who met with me and Lucy and Jonathan last week. A few of those guys got a free copy so guys, if you’re reading this, you now know you have a rare piece in your possession. It might be worth a great deal soon. Thanks for seeing us. Here are some samples of the amazing pics in the zine.

Anyone who has worked in the UK will know that shooting for Sunday Times Style means phones ringing for advertising work the following Monday. Jon shot this cover and beauty story (remember what having a tan was like? Seems like years ago…) A while back I predicted a trend that colour would be back in photography. I feel vindicated.

So after years and years of working constantly despite not having a website, Jon has joined the consensus and decided that a web site might be a good idea. It is really comprehensive and beautifully laid out. A lesson to all you photographers out there who go for tricksy flash sites. On the topic of web sites, I just wanted to say thanks to Cameron for speaking at Trampoline in my place last night. He gave a really good talk to the group on what makes a good site and what doesn’t (from an art buyer’s perspective). I think he would be pleased with Jon’s.

The Selby’s images of Jonathan and Annie’s place have FINALLY been uploaded. There were lots of cute shots, but I have featured my favourite here as the first time I went to Jonathan and Annie’s house, the scene was exactly like this. Tea and Annie’s home made caramel slice.

Bon weekend to all.
