Buckfast Wine

So for the North South divide, myself and the group decided on the interesting story that surrounds a Tonic Wine called Buckfast...

Made by Benedictine Monks in Buckfast Abbey, located in Devon. This fortified wine has an alcoholic content of 15% and drop for drop has more caffeine in it than Red Bull. Pretty staggering and unheard of for most of the youth in the South. If you were to travel all the way up to Glasgow you'd find a large following who almost religiously drink Buckfast.

Combining these two contrasting truths we planned and presented an initiation for Northerners into 'the Buckfast society.' I played a minister of the Church and believe me, my throat was fooked after this...

Initial test for the new brief, an observation of a typical english beverage and the different ways of enjoying it. True to its word, this is how it goes down...

Louis Prima - original rare footage of a live performance which then led to the animators using their movements for the actual scene.

Oded Ezer - Israeli typographer with some amazing work that I feel visualises the movement of the letters or context of the words.

Good influence for this project; check out his biotypography

I don't like skateboarding...

...but the idea of skateboarders on fire is pretty cool.

Graffiti without the can

Found here. I love street art, I love street art that hasn't been sprayed or painted, I love street art that has been sprayed or painted. What I now love is cement street art.

I did a couple of engraving on a wall where I get high sometimes, if I didnt get so high I would of taken a photo of it. If and when I go back and remember, I'll take some photos, discretely of course.

Stuck in the uni library.. with google reader to keep me company. Found this over on Black Harbor, it's by a Norwegian guy from oslo, the only place I could say I know in Norway.

Anyway, its awesome, he's recreated some pulp art and I think the colour scheme on the legs print is sublime. Zombie hoes and dapper dogs, oh yesh.

Saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World the other day as well; absolutely loved the 16bit intro from Universal pictures and the quirky inclusions of "thump" or "bang" never read the comics so cant say how it matches up...ask Adrian.

One last thing...

Black Harbor won't let me view their homepage on this computer because im limited to Internet Explorer, lame. Do love their way of saying 'get with the times'
