Bryan Loke at 2007 St Bride Conference

Now this looks like a great conference!

In its sixth year, the Friends of St Bride Library conference returns to London with another selection of talks to refresh and stimulate with a range of internationally recognised speakers including Suw Charman (Open Rights Group), Susanna Edwards, Max Gadney (BBC), Ken Garland, Kerr Noble, Morag Myerscough (Studio Myerscough), Michael C Place, Rick Poynor, Nick Robertson (Wordsalad) and Patrick Walker (Dust Collective).

Best thing about this is that designer and good friend Bryan Loke will be joining those selected few!

For the 2007 St Bride Conference, he has attempted to capture the spirit of great british design from a London perspective using a series of 10 images.

Hot Fuzztival Epilogue

It's sunday and I just came home after spending the whole day at the cinema! Edgar Wright and the boys were hosting a movie marathon at Londons Prince Charles Cinema to celebrate the lauch of the Hot Fuzz DVD. A whole day of free movies, handpicked by Mr Wright personally. I will not get into detail, if you dont know the names Wright, Pegg and Frost you better do your geek homework!

Edgar introduced each movie personally. The guy oozed geek enthusiasm for the action genre by the bucket and treated us to a Hard Boiled / Last Boyscout / Point Break triple bill inc. his Grindhouse trailer and Hot Fuzz with a live commentary by himself, Pegg, Frost and the rest of the crew that turned up. Awsome awsome day at the movies...

UNKLE War Stories artwork

Although Lavelle dropped Futura and got 3D on board this time around I fucking LOVE the artwork! The vinyl version of War Stories apparently includes a 52 page booklet full of acryl goodness from Mr. 3D and so far the luscious 7" that already dropped confirms that the Holygoof still knows how to sell a product to the design savy world of geeks...











Thanks to the supreme UNKLE geek forum U77.com for the pics...

Mr Shoe Expo in China

Just arrived in my inbox: Some additional tasty snaps from the Mr. Shoe Museum (sample) exhibition which was held at Nike706 venue in Beijing. Anyone who checked out the expo at the dpmhi store in London should be familiar with the shoe customs but its always great to see Michael Lau do his thang. Thanks to HKS for the headz up!
