Brand Opus.

Slinky new website launched for Opus this week.
They are also currently recruiting designers.

Did you know...

that we are literally spraying prawns in our hair every day! Thanks to Sara F for highlighting this important piece of information.

My email addresss.

My wonderlandwpa email address is no longer in use - the clue being that I HAVEN'T WORKED THERE FOR A MONTH, sheesh. Please stop emailing it - my boss is picking up all sorts of nonsense especially gossip from the girls! sardinetincollector@gmail only.

A cheeky visitor

Popped into my friend Sachin's living room for a quick game of table football.
Jealous.

someone send this man some scamps...

my personal favourtie:

Planner
“This is a real edgy brand.
Targeting young men 18-24. We want something that patronises both men and women at the same time.”
Art Director
“Yep I agree. Let’s start with every man’s fantasy.”
Copy writer
“Well it has to be a threesome, doesn’t it?”
Art Director
“Nice, let’s push it to the next level though…”
Copywriter
“A ten-some?”
Planner
“I like where this is going guys. We can’t show any penetration though. It just has to appear imminent.”
Art Director 
“I’ve got it! It’s a guy who works as a prison guard. But in a women’s prison.”
Planner
“Bullseye”
Copy writer
(Getting excited)
“Yep. Yep. we can have him in the changing room watching the women.”

Planner

“I can safely say this is the best thing I’ve ever worked on.”
Art Director
“I don’t think it’s out there enough at the moment though. The Mighty Boosh is very in now. Can we add a element of wackiness to it?”
Copy Writer
“Okay, how about they’re not in showers, but sharing a massive pile of rice pudding with two flying jelly fish and one of the women has a sock puppet on her hand?”
Art Director
“Fetch me my sign pen…”

Planner

“Great guys, I expect Cuprinol sales to increase ten-fold.”

Run Riot interviews Scoteee.

I've nicked the intro from Run Riot because I tried to introduce this post by describing Scottee, but I can't do it. After Antisocial club nights when I first moved to London and various mad un-cabaret nights (including the amazing Eat Your Heart Out last year), I've become quite fond of this loveable weirdo... so read on:


Scottee is a performer. He has performed at some of the worlds most prestigious galleries and theatres including: Tate Britain & Modern; ICA; Whitechapel; Royal Festival Hall; Royal Opera House and the Roundhouse. As well as gracing the pages of Dazed & Confused, Independant, i-D, W and Sunday Times Style, he was also included in i-D magazine's 200 portraits by Nick Knight, won title of TimeOut Performer of 2010 and grabbed the covers of both TimeOut & Independent on Sunday in 2011. He has broken limbs, been questioned by Police and lost 100's of pairs of high heels in his determination to please and challenge his auidence. His brash, clumsy and obnoxious approach to performance has left them confused, annoyed and amused. Whatever you think of Scottee - he probably won't care.

contender for the most bizarre christmas window this year.

WHOOP WHOOP dan & becca

Barbican Crimper Shop open.

Barbican shop is open as usual but now alongside 'The Den' which showcases new and unique bits and bobs from British design talent so ideal for an unusual stylish present. The christmas indoor market starting in the first week of December (as it should be) but expect glitter and standard stuff. Started my crimper shopping this weekend, I hate Oxford Circus at the best of times but now it's teeming with slow stomping out of towners desperate to get their baubles. Got one present! grrr.

things that are good this week...

First shots back from Diana.

No not the dead princess, that would be madness. Diana Mini camera which I got as a leaving gift from wwpa. Lots of practice needed evidently!

News from KX

First exciting news is that Drink Shop Do has got the license to open a cocktail bar downstairs and under their current shop. Had a lovely ladies long lunch with Andrea there last week. Musical Bingo sells out so quickly each time - but there's another one on Dec 8th. see web link.

Also new in Kings Cross is Eat Street
which has popped up along a newly made road as part of the development to the St Pancras extension. Bustling with busy food stalls with cuisine from all over the world, it's typically just what I was saying KX needed - only 4 weeks after I left my job and no longer go there much! ha.

Torture Garden.

After years of friends saying 'maybe, maybe' we have eventually dared to go to Torture Garden. Officially a fetish club but more recently attracting a more mainstream(ish) crowd, TG hosted a Halloween Ball to be remembered. Can't post many pics, but here are a few decent ones!

Montpelier

New website for the Monty has launched. Illustrations by Ben Lamb.






















Me and the other two Alan's getting the VIP treatment.

Wild Wood

Wild Wood designed by my friend Sarah Pidgeon at Pearlfisher went down very nicely with my bargain and delicious beef roast at New Gallery Camberwell. Sarah's now left to go travelling for a few months and I'm freelancing at Pearlfisher which is ace bananas. Here's me (working very, very hard with a serious face to prove it) and Jamie wearing 'restart' t-shirts for someone's leaving do.

National Gallery.

Outside the National Gallery last weekend- they are growing a living version of Van Gogh's Wheat Field with Cypresses. Well done very interesting.
