Yeah, another snow post

I realise I haven’t really posted anything design-related in a while, but the whole country (except Cornwall, but they may as well be their own country) has gone snow crazy. This is certainly the most snow I’ve witnessed at home since I was too young to remember. Plus it’s the first time I’ve had to drive in snow, which is… interesting.

Stevington in Snow

It snowed on Monday, so Kat and I went out to explore at lunchtime. It was very pretty. Apparently more snow on the way for Friday.

The big building in the middle is emc design.

Batcow

I decided not to paint my concrete cow as a typical breed of cow – I was originally thinking about a Hereford cow (red/brown and white). Instead I decided to paint it as a superhero. I could have picked Wolverine, my favourite of all comic book heroes, but I think Batman works best.

 

Bon Voi Age

These posters make me want to jet off somewhere. Preferably somewhere with sunshine and warm sea (I’ve never swum in a warm sea – although I’m rather fond of the cold sea anyway).

It was only a matter of time before I posted these wonderful posters, featuring London’s disused tube stations, on my blog. Creative Review beat me to it, but I can’t fault them for doing what they do best.

The posters are designed by the talented Tom Wood, who just so happens to be a Falmouth graduate and the brother of one of my best friends. Good work, Tom.

“The London Underground is the world's oldest and longest serving underground system. 2013 marks 150 years since it all began.

The Tube has seen some of the biggest changes in society during its service. Ever-evolving demands have required a range of alternations to the Tube system, resulting in a wide range of disused stations.” – Off the Map

 

 

Paint-Your-Own Cow

How should I paint my Paint-Your-Own concrete cow?

Tove Jansson

Watched a lovely little documentary on Tove Jansson, author and illustrator of The Moomins, that was on BBC 4 last week. It’s not on iPlayer for much longer but looks like it will be on TV again at some point. I have just ordered myself one of her Moomin comic books, at long last.

And now for some of her wonderful illustrations.

That’s right, not just Moomins.
