90 years is a lot of years. How many brands can boast of 90 years worth of product? When I got the invite to the Farah birthday party I thought it was a typo but no Farah really is 90.
The party was a nice lively affair, good music and amazing food. There were nearly as many photographers as guests so I kept my pappin' to a minimum...
Im gonna start dropping the occasional post on here from now on, I design and make various things for various people so expect art and design related good stuff plus whatever else... stay tuned.

'Street Art' magazines/books are everywhere, check the sale section in any high street bookshop and you'll find many. Back in December when my friend sent me a copy of the VNA issue 10 I was ready to dash it straight in the bin. It was the first time checking out what they had to offer. Turned out to be a good read, what i appreciated most was that it was quite current. The internet has pretty much ruled out the chance of any publication being current but some of the images featured are definitely new and exclusive. I also enjoyed the feature on the Berlin Wall with the artist Tierry Noir, the interview talks about what the art and wall represented to the people confined by it. And finally its always good to read about my good friend Nash Money.
Some pictures courtasy of Greg @ VNA...
