was andy warhol right...?

so a long time ago a friend was asked by the mighty frederick bond to street cast some 20 sommiks that looked like they would have a few pints under their belt and then go for a curry...needless to say that brought him to my door and after some mild persuasion i agreed into being filmed dancing and telling jokes into camera...end of i thought...so i was somewhat shocked when i got a call back a few days later when i was happily lying in the sun in denmark making the most of the danes liberated attitude to tobacco's best friend...(it was a while ago)...so summonsed to a dance studio in mayfair we spent the day 'auditioning' and learing dance steps. I was also very amused when i got 2 models sat on my knee who were non too plus when they found out i wasn't a real 'actor'...anyway...at the end of the day after people had been ejected by getting tapped on the shoulder strictly style i ended up with a part!!!...playing lager....such a proud moment...i remember talking to the art director from mother on set and him asking what i did for a day job, when he found out i was an art director at digit he seemed rather uncomfortable as if i was lowering myself...?...after close inspection he may have been right...but hey if you can't laugh at yourself...

PS...LOOK AT THE LEFT SIDE WHEN WE GO INTO THE PUB...

when things go wrong...part 1

well thanks to the designers here i got to see the catastrophe that ikea have launched to the public...nowadays it's hard to get close to owning a font such as futura in any business let alone the furniture world, what with competing with aram, and vitra but they had seemed to manage, so why has this happened.. seems like any savvy client they decided that once they actually had it kind of right they had to go and change it...

now in the article there is some mention of this decision saving money, which if passed down to the customer or to improving the environment of the manufacterers maybe i'm not so ruffled...but this just seems like another instance of change for change's sake...

i recently had a client quibble about paying £12 for a font!!...this all leads me neatly onto this and this..god help us all...xxxxx
