London Chicken Shops : Archive

We all love a good chicken shop, at least it would appear so judging by the work of London Chicken Shops - an amazing collection of chicken shops from across the capital.

The archive shows a wonderful, yet grimey, collection of signage to sell the finger lick'n chick'n! Take a look at londonchickenshops.tumblr.com to gaze at the full collection. And follow @LDNChickenShops to keep up with the latest chicken shops!

Quite a Few Retro Adverts from Japan

I love the style of these Japanese adverts, ranging from the 50s through to the around the 80s they all have that (crazy) iconic Japanese style.

Don't Miss A Great Opportunity - Make It Happen With Chevrolet

Don't miss a great opportunity - the strapline of Chevrolet's latest commercial for TV and online.

The advert's narrative begins with a man being shown around a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" style aircraft hanger filled with wooden boxes, by another man in a white coat. The mysterious official reveals the warehouse is filled with boxes containing every opportunity someone has missed, carefully stored away in a kind of never ending stasis.

A plethora of gold, silver and bronze trophies, that yacht you've always wanted but never bought, learning the piano, walking on the Moon?! (Must have been an opportunity missed by someone!) and many more.

MAKE IT HAPPEN WITH CHEVROLET

Chevrolet encourage you not to miss an opportunity and introduce their range of cars at the end of the commercial, revealing the sentiment of the advert in a kind of edgy tone.



To continue this intriguing storyline, Chevrolet developed a series of additional videos that deliver background stories to some of the missed opportunities featured in the Warehouse video. Chevrolet have done this via its partnership with MOFILM - an online collective of young film makers. Click here to view the entries that continue the story...

Here's the winning entry created by Ben Tedesco entitled - Through the Lens.

Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You - Linoprint

This is a linoprint of the great Screamin' Jay Hawkins I've been working on recently. An amazing performer, and one of the first shock rockers, Screamin' Jay Hawkins was a legend! The song and haunting performance of 'I Put A Spell On You' was what inspired me to create a print of Hawkins (see video at the bottom).
