One of the nice things about attending the Hypercomics preview in Battersea Park was coming across one of my favourite little-known spots in London bathed in golden hour sunlight, which might possibly be the best time to see it.

Last weeek I was supposed to go to Brighton for the day. I'd planned to attend a sewer tour with the Brighton Flickr group, and hoped to see the Charley Harper exhibition and had booked an advance train ticket to save money (less than a tenner instead of over twenty quid). Unfortunately, due to the [...]

I missed a couple of days this time around, but the projects seemed to require twice as much work, as most of them were designed on the computer first. I'd say I'm about 50/50 on the quality, though.
Day #11: nothing. I'm sure I meant to make something, but I couldn't find anything in the [...]

In my quest to visit NotLondon this summer, Iwent to the seaside twice last week. I love the seaside. I've got a couple of posts to write up about my visits to Bexhill and Hastings (last Wednesday) and Frinton and Walton (last Saturday), but in the meantime, here's something completely different.

Amazing building, wonderful art, lovely beer, who wants to come with me? I'm thinking first weekend in September (it finishes on [...]

Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? [Comics and Architecture post #2] – And talking about comics and architecture, I'm quite curious to read this book, even though there's something about the art that slightly puts me off (the colours I think) But the attention to design detail sounds very impressive.
"I think there’s at least [...]

Architects Journal on the Top 10 comic book cities [Comics and Architecture post #1] – Meant to post this last week. Obviously it's got different stuff to what I'd have chosen — I'd have included Carla Speed McNeil's wonderful Dome of Anvard City from her comic Finder, and Rian Hughes' retrofuturistic version of London in [...]
