Last week I received lots of fabulous stickers in the post from stickermule, featuring a couple of my very own illustrations and – wow! Not only was it really lovely of them to print these for me but the sticker quality is top notch – the print is perfect, the vinyl is impressively thick and the colours are spot on.

I don't normally post my own work or ramble on about how wonderful an online service is on my blog but I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough - thanks, stickermule!

Nothing for me can beat strong blocks of colour and a strong, simple composition. This "Salamander" lithograph by Ernst Deutsch is certainly to my liking - it was made in 1912 and can be found in the MoMA's collection (which is a great online resource to browse, by the way).

isabelle hayeur - fire with fire

Media_http24mediatumb_ghsdg

Isabelle Hayeur created 'Fire with Fire', a video installation in Vancouver, Canada. The work is site-specific and used 3 Blu-ray players and video projectors.

The piece is a 15 minute video loop, simulating fire in a building in the Downtown Eastside, the city's oldest and most run-down neighbourhood.
Many lives have been blighted by social problems due to poverty. 'Fire with Fire' calls attention to the present conditions of the area whilst recalling the destructive Great Vancouver Fire of 1886.
