TUNE OF THE DAY // D.F.T.F - NEED FOR MIRRORS

This popped up on my news feed and I had a little eargasm as a result. This is a bad tune, and brought back many memories of sweat laden darkened rooms listening to the filthiest drum and bass for hours on end. Already looking into booking tickets for the next night!

Dont fight the feeling.

DOGS // DOGS IN CARS

This video goes out to all those dogs who know what sticking their head out of moving car feels like. For those who don’t, just watch these crazy pooches and you’ll soon know.

I can also recommend this as a tried and test hangover cure and as it's Saturday i'm sure some of you will be needing this. 

TUNE OF THE DAY // SEBASTIEN TELLIER - KILOMETER

Sebastien, yes I am on first name terms with possibly the coolest looking hybrid of David Guetta and Justin Lee Collins (minus the facts they are both twats, but on the look front anyway.)

This is another beautiful song and awesome video from Sebastien to follow on from our previous La Ritournelle post. 

I decided to give a double dose of tune of the day, and provide the awesome version by Aeroplane the 'Italo 84' remix. You can fully understand the natural progression this song took on.

VIDEO // DOGS TEARING UP A PARK

There's something quite therapeutic about watching these dogs barge about a park biting each other but there's also that little voice in my head growling, "go on...get him...jump him" or maybe that's just me? On that note I'm off to Bruges for the weekend.

Whilst I'm away take a look at our fancy shop and keep checking back as we've got loads of new products being add on the 1st of Feb.

ILLUSTRATOR // CLARE MALLISON

I have a little treat for you on this fine British Wednesday, an illustrator by the name of Clare Mallison. I was first drawn to the attention of Clare's work a few years ago and always loved it's effortless ease at creating interest and closer study of what could possibly be conceived as everyday objects or scenarios and I reckon illustration as an art form probably dates back to when our ancestors were graffiting and tagging cave walls to impress Wilma and Betty.

Clare has drawn all her life and went on to study illustration at Kingston University graduating in 2004. Whilst completing her course she discovered a passion for drawing whilst on location which enables her to really get a feel of whats in front of her. Using a mixture of pen, ink, pencil and marker pens from her studio in East London, Clare has an ever increasing list of prestigious clients ranging from Marie Claire and Rolling Stone to The Guardian and The Times. 

Clare's website is well worth checking out so don't be surprised if you end up clicking through her whole back catalogue and if you're interested in seeing more of her work then definitely subscribe to her blog which is updated on a regular basis. Below are some of my favourites, enjoy... 

You can also visit Claire's shop to pick up your very own reasonably priced print....I did and it's now all framed up and waiting for some wall space to live on.

DAILY DOG

After a long hard day chasing robbers this German Shepherd (my favourite make of dog) is seriously tired.
