Oh come with me to the rolling sea...

While the weather's calm and still,
We'll have some fun and laughter with,
The adventures of Portland Bill...

4 Cities

Rob

I think my favourite city from the last month (from Barcelona, Dublin, London and Prague) has to be Barcelona .

The art, architecture, food (cheese, wine & cured meats) climate, people, sea, sand, pavement, street art... the list goes on.

Go now!!

City 4 - Dublin

Rob

Completing my 4 cities tour is Dublin. Aside from the Temple Bar based festivities(!) my favourite highlight was Francis Bacon's reconstructed studio at the Hugh Lane gallery . His studio was just an extension of his work, I've always found his working methods fascinating.

I also noticed a bin with my name on it... (See the last photo)

City 3 - Barcelona

Rob

Barcelona is probably one of the most amazing cities I've been to - (or was it the company...?)

I think the photos speak for themselves:

4 Cities - 4 Countries - 1 Month

Rob

I let slip this morning about my Birthday surprise I've been planning...

Ooops! So I can now blog about it: We are off to Barcelona tomorrow.

Having already done Prague and London this month and with Dublin to come on the final weekend of Christmas, don't be expecting any Christmas presents this year...

Bournemouth Art Coincidences

Rob

There appears to be a lot going on art wise around the town... or it could be just a series of coincidences?

In one night:

A private view of Michael Shaw's Sculptures at The Study Gallery of Modern Art ...

Ishihara at Sixty Million Postcards

and an Arts Institute (Fine Art) showing at The Winchester.

This is my art entry for th [...]

Just incase you are wondering:

City 2 : London

Rob

Saw the Rothko exhibition at Tate modern last weekend and very good it was too. I particularly enjoyed the section about his techniques and use of paint .

It took great knowledge and skill to produce what he did and make it look so simple.

Talking about simple, (not sure about skill) here are a few shots from the weekend...

Lost

Rob

I've been thinking about what I really enjoy about my job and there are several common things that I like.

Being involved from the start, so I can really help shape ideas and get my teeth in to the concept.It has to be unusual and complex, but expressed simply.Something real and exterior to cyber space that's brought in to the design, like photos or paint .
Some form of guerrilla action! Like the wave letters , or the growbag on top of a multi-story car park.This is a small p [...]

Crossing The Line

Rob

Photographer Martin Coyne is exhibiting some of his photographs from his trip to Malawi last year.

They were taken whilst he was working on an AIDS/HIV education video for a charity. I think he's managed to capture the African experience without pointing his lens directly at it.

The exhibition is on at The Study Gallery , [...]

Edit And Keep This True

Rob

I have so much to write that I don't write.

So little time to write what's left after I worry about what I haven't written.

But does it really matter because nobody's listening*...

(ha aha haha ah aha ah ahaha)

* this should actually be 'reading', but for the purposes of this sentence structure - listening fits better.

Shredding

Rob

Just found 'shreds ' on youtube.

People are rerecording the audio for music videos, with comic effect:

This is the way to do it:

Stand at the back, twiddle knobs and hire musicians to do all the hard work...
