After much delay on our side due to various events and celebration we are excited to announce another addition to our collection thanks to the fine doodle works of With Thrashes. With Thrashes has been selling t-shirts in Leeds (which can be found here) and through her blog for a while now as well as creating t-shirts to be won at the ‘Live and Unamplified’ nights down at the Book Club. In her own words her work With Thrashes began by... “fiddling with biros as a way to alleviate boredom during maths and science lessons. Finding it more satisfying drawing creatures than shapes, her books were soon covered in creepy looking beasts and twisted humans. Skeletons, trees, body-parts and seaweed are her main inspirations, although uncomfortable and awkward moments will do just fine.”

Check them out at Handsum Designs... you won't be disappointed!

Coming up...

Alright Children of the Revolution,

Its been a while and a strong case could be made for Handsum regret but things are stirring so keep your eyes peeled and ears to the ground as we have a series of announcements to make over the following days...

Must play more games...

Just a design from last weekend... also done a proposed design for Glastonbury Festival so fingers crossed. MORE IMPORTANTLY HOWEVER remember that tomorrow is Art For Africa down at the Attic Bar on Stokes Croft, Bristol... be there or be square!

And I had to add this video. There are simply no words to describe how good this is!

Help Develop Bristol! This weekend!

Here’s a very worthy cause for also around in Bristol to help out with for which we made the flyer and poster... GET INVOLVED!

Under the Motorway' invites residents of Easton, Eastville and beyond to help us add just a touch of love to the space under the M32. Join us at Napier Road over the weekend of the 16th-17th April on either day from midday to paint, garden and decorate this neglected part of our community. There will be music and food on the day to keep busy bees buzzing away painting these enormous pillars a selection of beautiful pastel colours, trimming back overgrown greenery and hanging bunting.

If you can volunteer your time to help organise the weekend, donate things like food or tools, or have any other ideas for the space or the weekend itself please get in touch. We also want designs for the bottoms of the pillars; messages tothe community, loved ones, adverts, illustrations..... all ideas welcome.

The wall of walls really...

After years of trawling through websites for images and the like I have to say that this is probably in my top two of impressive discoveries... It has even taken top spot this week over the recently finished Skateboard Design for Temwa... but more of that later

Something for the mean time...

Here's a practice image for something that might be used in the future for something else... I hope thats cryptic enough... and another song.

Hidden Orchestra and a little more...

Hidden Orchestra - Night Walks On Vinyl by Tru Thoughts on Mixcloud

Quite simply on of the best mixes out there at the moment, free to download and Hidden Orchestra are currently on tour so if you get a chance definitely check them out!

Also new colour clothing available and a little revamp on the old website... a FULL BLOG POST worthy of this to follow shortly.

Why my day just... stopped

Tis very profound...

Inspired by a documentary on the build up of the music scene in Bristol, massive thanks to Jazzy T, as well as the limits to my imagination/ things I can draw in an afternoon... definitely worth a listen especially if you are Bristol based: The Bristol Underground Story - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00yb5md/Way_Out_West_The_Bristol_Underground_Story_Episode_1/

Jamie XX (Mix for Colette)

01 Jamie XX mix for Colette 10

Leading on from yesterdays post... here is a really nice mix that was created by the same artist (the drum boxer/ producer of the much acclaimed 'The XX') some time in 2010 I believe. A very impressive set list.

(Señor Pajaro)

And I though it might be nice to add a little doodle which was inspired by a very long wait for a plane to Berlin over Christmas... with maybe a hint of Disney.

Jamie xx - Far Nearer

Just a nice little tune... reminds me of my days when I lived on a beach, with my turtles friends, drinking coconut juice... Those were the days!
