London in lots of pictures

Camden town

What's this? A part of Camden market I have never seen before.
Although, I think it's new...

Canal walk

Blossom!

Regent's park

I didn't know there was this much green in London. Haha.

Friendly squirrel!

Long Tiring Great day.

Right but wrong

Just a quick blog, as I've had a long day in London with my dad. The main reason for going was to see the Right but Wrong exhibition at Idea Generation, showing a vast selection of Storm Thorgerson's work. We managed to pack a lot else in too, including two other galleries, walk along the canal and through Regents park and a vinyl toy shop.

The exhibition was brilliant. And my dad enjoyed it too as he owns most of the classic albums Thorgerson designed - particularly Pink Floyd. Funny how the same man (or his design studio) is behind the artwork of my favourite band, Muse, and my dad's, Pink Floyd.

There was a particular poster/print which I hadn't seen before which I really liked. I would rather like it for my wall. (I have now discovered that it comes with the 30th anniversary vinyl of Dark Side of the Moon.)

This is the only image I can find of it!
£350 and it can be mine...

Here's some info about the exhibition: Idea Generation

Fringe 80s opening titles

I've just watched the much anticipated (at least for me) latest episode of Fringe, after it's been away for a month of so.

The episode is mostly all set in 1985 and so they re-did the title sequence to match. Which I thought was brilliant. Here's the normal title sequence, and now for the new one:

Shoot

Ah, typography jokes make me smile. link

Hello book

With help from this video (although the many times I watched it, it was muted so not sure what she says!) I successfully managed to master the art of this pop up. So today I made this book!

Pop up

I would really like to successfully make this pop-up. I bought a pocket book of Tokyo today which has two maps, one at the front and one at the back, which fold out just like this.

I found this website which tells you how but after a couple of tries, I haven't been able to make it yet.
