Boyce Avenue, a band made up of three brothers covering some of the best music from the 21st century pop, indie, rock and country. Youtube is home to some of their best work captured on video....check it out.....

Nizlopi - Start beginning

One of my favourite bands, their lyrics and beat are incredible, but their music videos are beautifully illustrated and really just so relaxing to watch.

Music, Fashion, Art and Earth....

Design has become style and almost a way of life for most people, this means design in fashion, music and art....three things that go hand in hand. I am extremely excited about new music and new styles and Amelia's magazine contributes a lot to things that make me so passionate about art and music.......

Music :- New up and coming band: The Plasticines

Fashion :- ROKIT.....covent garden

When Amelia's magazine revealed the new "place to be" in London was Rokit on Shelton Street in Covent Garden, my eyes lit up. Its a vintage store that I completely fell in love with at the age of 16. It houses clothes from the 20's to this day, and also is renowned for celebrities who cant resist a 2nd hand bargain. It's an amazing brick cavern and definitely worth a look at next time you're in London, even if you don't like the close its an amazing place to be in as the atmosphere is so relaxed and care-free.

Art :- Comica

The biggest comic book festival hits town from 5th - 26th November 2009. Aspiring

graphic novelists get the chance to rub shoulders with the most famous comic book artists and get to see their work in progress and get close and personal with the comic industry.

It is stereotypically believed comic books are about superheroes and bad guys but they can literally just capture ANYTHING! Comica is a way of taking comic books out of the glamorized geek genre and connecting it to other art forms and people.

Earth :- extINKed

Thursday 26th November

The opportunity for people to support this amazing cause arrived when ExtINKed gave the public the chance to become an ambassador for Britons endangered species

by getting a tattoo designed by artists such as Ink Vs Steel of one of the 100 endangered animals.

This means, the next time someone asks you why you got "that tattoo" or what

it means, you can state the cause and feel proud that you are doing something about such an important issue in Britain.

Typography Project

2009-11-23T11:58:00.000-08:00

Right now, I am working on creating a unique and typographic focused front cover for the fictional novel by Yann Martel, Life of Pi. Its an intriguing book that got me through a number of weeks travelling around America this past summer. This book about an adventurous life led by a young boy named Pi from India followed me on my own adventure in the U.S. and I grew a great attachment to the book. I thought it would be perfect for this project.

Amelia's magazine

2009-11-23T11:49:00.000-08:00

I was introduced to Amelia's magazine around a year ago. It has become one of my favourite publications as it's contents is filled with subjects on fashion, music, art, the earth. Every issue is unique. Swarovski crystals have been used on front covers, famous photography, amazing illustrations and graphics also. The entire magazine is a piece of art.

London - Graphics is all around us

2009-10-28T06:56:00.000-07:00

One doesn't really take time to sit back, take in and observe the everyday things around us. Taking a trip to London accompanied by my digital camera made me stop and look at the things I simply would never really take much attention of. Signs, drains, street art, all the normal every day things have specifically ben designed for a purpose, for a reason and for aesthetics. Its good to get everyday design awareness every once in a while, we are always too busy to take in much else apart from our busy lives.

Beardy Man - Kitchen Diaries

This is just a bit of fun really, I first saw this about a year ago and was completely amazed.....definitely has WOW power

Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie

2009-10-27T05:21:00.000-07:00

I fell completely and utterly in love with this video wen i first saw it. This amazing stop-frame video by Oren Lavie tries to capture the essence of our imagination through day dreaming, it takes us away from reality and we can enter a completely different state of mind. This video is beautifully created and the dream like atmosphere makes you feel lost within each frame. I almost found myself thinking about how far I can take my daydreams and to what extent I imagine them to be real. Exquisite video, and simply just an amazing song.
