Love this piece by ROA!Heron art

I’ve been doing a bit of traveling again, recently. Last week I was away at a conference and this weekend I find myself in London.

Finally, I’m picking up the camera again, mostly for quick snapshots or to record fragments of ideas; even so it feels good.

Here are a few snaps from the last couple of days… typography has been on my mind lately, you may notice:

I tweeted about this months ago but somehow overlooked sharing this wonderfully fun artwork here.

On display at the British Library in London is a painting by British artist, Patrick Hughes:

Beautiful!

The passing and loss of (Lee) Alexander McQueen today is beyond description. There is nothing I can say that has not already been said, I did not know him but I loved his work. Here are a few of the write-ups in the papers and some of his work that has inspired me over the years:

Heal the Sick

Earlier this weekend, a reader sent me this photo they snapped on a recent trip to London:

They were amused by the odd mission statements or promises of the institution, and thought I might agree that perhaps their aim to “Raise the Dead” was at best inspiring, if a bit creepy.
