MAY DAY



i do love my polling station/community hall.
i couldn't capture its cuteness -
it makes me feel nostalgic about a time i never knew up close.
i think its 30's or 40's and its full of little old gents and ladies who may have known it back when they and it were young.

thought today was suitable for a little home-made propaganda for the flat!

RIDICULOUS BROWNIES


elena came around tonight to make dinner

i thought i would begin a project that i thought about a while ago...
...making propaganda on a domestic scale

however these posters didn't end up working as propaganda
i kinda ran out of time
and they were only just ready at the same time as dinner!
so mementos!
i want to promote upcomming events such as trips to the dentist, doctor,
cleaning reminders, shopping lists - you get the idea.

WINDY CITY







to mark another great London Book Fair..
here is a lovely piece of self-promotion propaganda
all the way from the USofA
it is also all the way from 1936

27 chicago designers collaborated in a beautiful way to make it.
they each got 2 spreads and each is printed using
different techniques and papers.
love it!

also love the champagne that anne cracked open to mark
the book fest occasion too!
what a lark!

Friday

life ain't easy...

LONDON CALLING!




MAMAS PAPITOS


OMG! my sister makes the best cakes in the WORLD!
the picture makes it look like chopped fruit,
but no! underneath the fruit and behind the paper cups is
chocolate and orange heaven
i had the honor of baptising them when she first made them with her friend..
''Oh Mama!'' is the first thing one says on the first (and every) tasting
during the serious naming discussion the friend was playing manu chao and the song was about papas!
so..
mamas papitos

GHOST HUG



the scary ghost at the top turned out to be not so scary!
i found him all curled up and vulnerable the next day.
