A Blast From the Past Found this picture the other day of a real art billboard we did with Stephen Bliss as part of the Fosters Ice Street Art exhibition. Foz McCabe was the Kangaroo’s name. And what a great kangaroo he was!  I especially love him doing his Liam Gallagher impression. Foz appeared alongside many great works by the likes of Hex, Futura and Swifty who organised the whole thing with old friends Paul Tully (PD3) and Jon Wilkins (Naked Comms). And, my God, this was back in 1995!! Many brands have done ‘art’ over the years but I think this was truly one of the few events that was actually ground breaking and, for those involved, I’d say genuinely awesome. I use that word in its real literal sense. Respect to Peter Harding from Fosters who commissioned it. Great guy. Where is he now? View high resolution

Our lovely Kim has been a volunteer with the Kids Company since January, facilitating an animation workshop with some really talented young adults at the Urban Academy.Over the last couple of months the students have put a huge amount of work into producing a stop-motion animation looking at how we bring our individual talents & beliefs into our interactions in groups.  The “Flags of Value” animation is currently on display as part of Kids Company’s very moving exhibition Childhood: The Real Event  on display at the Royal Academy until 22nd July.Starting with the flag-shirts made by the fashion students to present their individual values, the animation students story-boarded, shot & edited the animation over 4 packed sessions then collaborated with poetry students who made the accompanying voice track to compliment the three ‘verses’ of the animation: 1. Uniformity - what happens when stresses and difficulties make us function un-thinking on auto-pilot2. Change - the pivotal point when an individual who has been struggling to keep up decides to make changes  3. Co-operation - the power & strength of working together in groups, bringing our individual unique values and talents to share with one another for the benefit of the community.More of the students work can be seen on their own blog and you can watch Flags of Value here!

Starting with the flag-shirts made by the fashion students to present their individual values, the animation students story-boarded, shot & edited the animation over 4 packed sessions then collaborated with poetry students who made the accompanying voice track to compliment the three ‘verses’ of the animation:

1. Uniformity - what happens when stresses and difficulties make us function un-thinking on auto-pilot
2. Change - the pivotal point when an individual who has been struggling to keep up decides to make changes  
3. Co-operation - the power & strength of working together in groups, bringing our individual unique values and talents to share with one another for the benefit of the community.
