100ft Faces.
Due to the current economic downturn, global financial crisis and falling share index, Hand & Face has been forced to make some changes. We’ve had to lay-off our keyboard, and therefore haven’t been able to type anything for the last week and a bit. Apologies for any inconvenience experienced. Working in Haverfordwest has done wonders for my principles. If you read the opening gambits of the...
Paradise City
I wrote a fairly big post about Damien Hirst, before his personal auction about a week ago, but never ended up posting it. Then he goes and makes a disgusting fortune. I’m no longer ready to pass judgement or give him any more than a few bitter lines of this blog. I think he’s a clever man and artist when it’s about art.

Soft 'n' Lo
Hello,
One Percent for the Planet is featuring heavily in my ‘world’ again lately. That’ all I’m going to say for now, but for now, it’s a great organisation and an even greater idea.

My head has been spinning the last few weeks. The upturn in work was expected due to the hollow promises left by summer, but they are yet to diminish. And though work has been a steady progression throughout these last few months, the increase in the size of my ‘in-tray’ has also been of no help to this blog. That is to say, until a day like today when I get a chance to write properly and actually...
Quick, Sharp.
I should be able to update properly tomorrow. Apparently 3 consecutive days off isn’t quite enough time for me to string together a line of coherant, cohesive, sentences all beginning with ‘co’. What I am quite sure of right now that all of these links are very valid and very entertaining. Loop really has his head screwed on, and although i’ve not seen him that much over...
