our dear friends andy needle and rich hardisty have been working their little bums off creating a sexy little fellow called evil kweevil. with titles such as "Sickest Condiment Jump 2010! (6 peppercorns and a 3 inch puddle of reggae reggae sauce)" already under his belt, we think he'll go far. here he is on the big screen - check it out.

idée fixe #2: nan knows best

going through our 'personal possessions' imagery folder, we'd like you to know about something close to our hearts: handwritten letters from our grand parents. we like to keep and frame ours with old photography or finds from the market.

here is a note from siobs nan, received on a birthday with a tenner. they offer the best advice.

wednesday's child #16 : say hello to boo

meet elizabeth boo baird

cute, quirky and a graphic design extraordinaire, siob.she are very excited to have boo on board to help us develop our branding and website in the coming month.

in the words of boo herself 'i believe design can be likened to having a small child. Sleepless nights, ridiculous amounts of stress, preposterous often unreasonable demands, yet rewarding in the end.'

we agree yet after our meeting yesterday, are all confident that we're about to give creative birth to the siob.she brand at last.  cannot wait for next weeks meeting to look at some logo ideas and get the ball rolling from there...we shall keep you updated ofcourse.

wanna know more about boo and the work she does? follow her here:

nan on tour #4: feast your firenze eyes

half way through my trip to florence and i can say its been the best work one yet. apart from delving into a ridiculously extensive archive and being given free creative reign while setting up a museum, i have fallen head over heels in love with this city.

having never travelled to italy before this job, my imagination had been somewhat suppressed by industrial milan and my too brief trip to rome. florence ticks all the boxes and has that genuine warm feel you expect from italians with an enriched historic beauty to boot. definitely a place everybody should experience in their lifetime.

so, today i visited the museo of salvatore ferragamo. http://www.museoferragamo.it/en/
impressive are the shoes (dating back to the nineteen twenties), but more amazing is the inspiration and creativity that backs it. and obviously the celebrity following too.

for those of you who are partial to a bit of vintage shopping (yay), the citys picks are as follows:
_pitti vintage http://www.pittivintage.com/
quite literally a door along a small side street off via maggio, duck down some crookedy wooden steps to what can only be described as a vintage haven. a lady addresses me by sticking some old tunes on her record player and you can rummage till your hearts content. There are no visible prices but the lady is happy to help. I spotted a chocolate brown mink hat, and at twenty five euro, is pretty much a bargain.




_elio ferraro http://www.elioferraro.com/
described more as a gallery store, wonder at vintage haute couture frequently featured in vogue Italia.
