London and the wider world

We’re big fans of maps and here are some more from our beautifully crafted collection – London, USA, Australia and New Zealand.

At the start of the year we collaborated on some Christmas 2010 ideas with Waitrose. A handful of typographers and illustrators were asked to create lettering for their festive campaign. Here are some preview pics of the serendipitous mix.

Art is Child’s play

Only a few days left to view this wonderful piece of TV on i-player. Alan Yentob considers the influence of play with some of Britain’s leading artists. I don’t watch much telly, but this is a real gem.

As adults we can loose the carefree approach we had as children and become self conscious about the work we create and what we do in general. Picasso summed it up when he said ‘It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child’ and he is right. How do we stay in touch with that blissful, intuitive place where we doodled and played?

Gavin and Tracey share their thoughts on the subject.
