I already loved Arcade Fire and their new album ‘The Suburbs‘ before I stumbled upon this brilliant interactive video by Chris Milk and I love them even more now! Incorporating the viewers own home town imagery with the Arcade Fire track ‘We Used To Wait’ playing over the top really makes the subject matter and lyrics much more relevant.

The Sartorialist
Thursday, April 29th, 2010Stumbled upon this blog: http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/ and I love it. The posts are really simple lovely shots taken of people the writer stumbles upon working in fashion, living in New York and travelling the world. I now follow ‘The Sartorialist’ on twitter and it’s great to get a simple fashion photo or two to look at each day.
A Touch of Tokyo
Thursday, April 8th, 2010I’ve wanted to visit Tokyo for quite some time and this photo log book I’ve just discovered by Carolina Cwiklinska is full of great shots and stories which make me want to get on a plane right now! http://www.questcont-d.com
Hadrian’s Wall Illumination
Sunday, March 14th, 2010Illuminating Hadrian’s Wall from IHW on Vimeo.
Yesterday (13th March 2010) a line of light was created along the remains of Hadrians Wall to mark the 1600th anniversary of Roman rule in Britain. 500 lights were placed 250m apart along the 135km long path of Hadrians wall. Although I didn’t go to see the event I had thought it quite a magical idea really. A great way to promote tourism for British Tourism Week.
Thompson Brand Partners, just down the road from me developed a culturally relevant but friendly brand for the project. See more about the project here: www.illuminatinghadrianswall.com

Gravenhurst, Nightwatchman’s Blues
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010Gravenhurst have interested me for quite some time now and this particular video has quite an interesting story behind it. Each frame of the videos animation has been made into a one off album cover screen print. A really great idea and a very nice way to literally incorporate the album artwork with the tracks meaning and story.
The director of this video Thomas Hicks has worked with Gravenhurst over the past few years on some great projects. Check out some more of his videos here.
