Inspiration everywhere
May 8, 2012
While waiting for friends yesterday, I hopped into the Courtauld Gallery shop at Somerset House to flick through a few books.
My attention was captured by one publication in particular – pictured below. Isn’t it funny how inspiration is quite literally everywhere?
Walking is for jerks

…at least according to Japanese photographer Natsumi Hayashi.
I spotted her inspirational work over on My Modern Met (thanks for sharing, folks) and couldn’t resist from adding a note or two myself.
Natsumi spends her time ‘levitating’ in photographs. It’s a genius idea, and one that requires phenomenal skill behind the camera – not to mention lighting speed when it comes to timing.
Due to the success of her work – often ending up viral – Natsumi has just published her first monograph titled ‘Today’s Levitation’.
Here’s a glimpse of the impressive shots you can expect to see – enjoy.

Our new brand identity – what do you think?
We’re slightly in love…
With much love to Samuel the Mule Mathews for his endless patience, creative genius and all-round niceness.
What does it take to be the Brightest and Best?
February 15, 2012
Last July, I found myself sat in a dank, dark subterranean warehouse, with arches overhead, and the smell of damp filling my nostrils.
What could simply have been the venue for a techno party, was in fact the place for theatre; the production of “AVE IT”, a “panoramic view of last orders in a sweaty, underground club in South East London” produced by my director friend Natalie Ibu.
She’s a vivacious lady (not to mention rather stylish, too) and rarely does she not have project after project up her sleeve. So what’s she up to now?
Introducing, ‘Brightest and Best’, Natalie’s next production in conjunction with playwright Matthew Morrison and The Pilotlight Theatre Company.
It’s a tale many of us will resonate with – one where Rob, the average Joe Bloggs (actor William Owen), gives up the rat race to focus on an entirely new venture. We follow the natural trials and tribulations that ensue, eventually bringing us to the climax of the play.
To learn of the tale’s twists further, book your tickets at We Got Tickets and take your seat to see it all unfold. I’ll be there on 23rd to find out what lessons are to be learned when one shirks stability, and ventures out into the big wide world of the unknown.
‘Brightest and Best’ is on at The Half Moon in Herne Hill, London, from 15th February to 10th March 2012.

Dear Santa… let me introduce you to STIKA
December 19, 2011
Yesterday I was strolling around Spitalfields market, hopping in and out of places like Lineage of Influence‘s beloved Albam, and into the similar store, Number Six.
It was here that I discovered (and fell head over heels with) this piece of art. It’s a paper design crafted by urban artist ‘STIKA‘ a.k.a. Josh Howard.
Rumour has it that STIKA is happy to create a design featuring the words of your choice. Mr. Claus, if you’re reading – I’ll be just fine with this wonder. I promise to be a very good girl for the rest of the year…

Always Marry An April Girl
Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms.
April golden, April cloudy, gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
April soft in flowered languor, April cold with sudden anger,
Ever changing, ever true — I love April, I love you.
OGDEN NASH (1902 – 1971)
