plans

It's my friend's birthday in just a few hours. This friend likes plans as much as I do and has at least 5 big time plans in place for 2010. A birthday plan is always essential - especially one that includes pizza, pubbage and wine! And as luck would have it, this is precisely what we will mostly be doing on Tuesday evening!

In other news, another weekend has flown by far too fast for my liking. I hope the next one hangs out a little bit longer, or failing that, a couple extra hours in each day would do just as nicely - thanks!

Pick Me Up

On Saturday I went to Pick Me Up - a contemporary graphic art fair at Somerset House. Alongside some limited edition prints on sale and works on display from the likes of Mr Bingo, Melvin Galapon, Claire Scully and Siggi Eggertsson, there were pop up shops from Nobrow, Le Gun, Concrete Hermit and the amazing Peepshow Collective.

The big treat of course, had to be the perusing around Rob Ryan's studio that had been temporarily transported in it's entirety to Somerset House for the duration of the exhibition. Seeing the man and his crew in action - screen printing and cutting out those obscenely intricate paper cuts was pretty damn interesting!

Plus, Print Club London ran a series of screenprinting workshops and live demos featuring a very long list of guest designers - a veritable feast of up and coming graphic design and illustration goodness!
