Bike v Art.


In my eyes i own the second best looking motorcycle the world has ever seen.

This of course being 'numero uno'*.

Both of the above examples demonstrate art and engineering coming together in beautiful harmony.

When art and engineering come together in beautiful harmony it is a glorious thing.

However, when it is not harmonious it can be equally pleasant.

I give you The F131 Hellcat Combat from Confederate.

That is art and engineering running into each other cocking fast.

Splendid!

The Wraith ain't bad either.

As for the Fighter!! My my my.

Thanks art and engineering.

* Just to let you know, it might appear i can speak Italian from this phrase, i can't. Capisca?

Gnarly dude!


Instead of having a snowboard competition where all the chaps and ladies go big to win, Transworld Snowboard magazine held a competition where the winner was decided on who made the best 5 minute film and took the best 10 photos.

What a brilliant idea.

So it wasn't just about the riders, it was about the photographers and film makers too. Creativity winning!

Oh yes, and we know who won, but as yet you can only get the winning film on itunes in the States of Americans.

Art is good.

I recently went to see Banksy in Bristol, he was well, he sent his love, he had even got the garibaldi biscuit in, i felt very special.

Anyway, after seeing all the new work he has done i quickly worked out that this...

...was my one of my favourite pieces. It is apparently 'a representation of Mary and Joseph fleeing to Egypt, so as to protect baby Jesus from being killed by King Herod', thanks Birbeck,

So with that in mind you will probably understand why i find these so appealing.

They are posters advertising St Matthew-in-the-City church in Auckland, New Zealand.

I told you religion was good.

The Stal Inn.


Apparently, The Wrestlers in Highgate, London is selling Madeira sweet sweet wine that once belonged to Joseph Stalin.

Just like old Jo, i wonder if it will leave a soar taste in your mouth? Probably not...

Plop Gear.

I have a feeling Top Gear is over! I fear it may have reached the end, no where else to go, done, cooked.

So to celerate, a bit of Clarkson?


Nice little thing from Swede Mason.

Still got a long way to go to beat this of course, but good one.

The Citadel. Floating flats.

Lovely floating apartment blocks.

Every now and then the occupants decide where they will move to next.

Miami?

Monaco?

Cape Town?

Bognor?

The Fantastic Mr Fox.

This looks awful I'm afraid. The Not So Fantastic Mr Fox!



How can you take something so awfully British and make it so Hollywood!

Even the voice over and typography on the trailer are so awfully incorrect!

There needs to be a body in place that stops this sort of thing happening.

Speaking of something terribly English!
