I give to you...



I am an episode away from finishing BBC series of Brideshead Revisited... it's so perfect I don't mind I haven't read the book first and I admit I am a little bit in love with Jeremy Irons (c. 1981). it made me very happy to discover it has its own fuckyeah tumblr.. oh, Brideshead, jolly good!

I also just finished reading this collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald stories which I also loved (and I therefore conclude I was born in the wrong era and social class.)



a nice monday song.

it seems this blog is no longer just for my own benefit - there's quite a few of you who seem interested in my nonsense - to say thank you I am having my first giveaway. up for grabs is my new Halcyon print and a little Mr. Lion (and maybe some other small bits I might find). to enter just leave a comment telling me about your favourite film or book or music or something else you think it is nice to know about :)

I will choose a winner next monday morning.

    I just finished a beautiful book called Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, and I would also love to recommend The Irrisistible Inheritance of Wilberforce by Paul Torday- which was awesome. Saw one of your prints in a shop in Sunset Junction this summer, really nice work mate!

    Right now I'm reading "The solitude of prime numbers" (I don't know if this is the correct translation), a book by Paolo Giordano, an italian writer.. but i have not finished yet.

    I want to recommend the argentinian film "The Holy Girl". Look it up and send me the lion.

    I saw a short film called I am Slave on channel 4 the other day. I cried for most of it. I would definitely recommend it x

    I just read "Our Faces, My Heart, Brief As Photos" by John Berger. It was crushingly beautiful. The artist David Horvitz is currently doing a project based on it.
