The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus



With the feel of one of Salvador Dali's crazy paintings this film is definitely an experience. Some of our time's most famous actors celebrate their friend Heath Ledger with completing the film he was meant to finish, a move that gives the story more than one twist. This film is like nothing else. Go see it, and be prepared for a colourful trip.

All you fans of Gill Sans... get yourself down to the RA!!


The exhibition Wild Thing: Epstein, Gaudier-Brzeska, Gill is on from 24 October 2009—24 January 2010
explores the body of work executed by the three outstanding young sculptors; Jacob Epstein, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and Eric Gill and draws on the major themes that impressed upon the men, namely sex, fertility, the human condition, the machine age and the impact of war.

The works convey the momentous sense of change taking place in London and the world at the start of the twentieth century.

It is the first time that the three artists have been shown together in this revolutionary context and many of the works have not been exhibited in London before.

The exhibition contains more than 90 works featuring mainly sculptures, drawings and pastels. No mention of type design but I'm sure it will be really interesting all the same!

Editors make the most of Google Street View


To promote the Editors new album, Sony has cleverly hacked a version of street view which allows users to listen to tracks in the areas of London in which the band found inspiration - opening up areas which are usually unavailable on the regular street view with some new band photography too.
