Look What I Got!

I love Disney. Not in a stupid Disney princess way but a this-is-seriously-one-of-the-greatest-companies-ever kind of way.

I love their films and the classic animation and the lessons kids can learn from them, but also how fantastic and passionate and respectful the world of Disney is.

Disney's next film - it's 51st no less - is a new Winnie the Pooh feature. To celebrate it's release I went on a press trip to Buckhurst Park, near the 100 Acre Wood, to meet the directors Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall, animator Andreas Deja and Head of Story/Disney legend Burny Mattinson.

An absolute highlight of my day was getting a signed Tigger drawing from Andreas Deja...

Barry M

I have serious love for Barry M nail varnish. It's so cheap - less than £3 a bottle! - and the colours are amazing.

The shades I use the most are Mushroom, Chocolate Brown and Blood Red but I've just discovered a new one which I think will be a new favourite; Red Black.

Pick This Up

I'm biased but my housemate/friend/brother-from-another-mother Tom Rowe is a very talented graphic designer, and for the second year running his work is being featured at Pick Me Up.


Pick Me Up is a contemporary graphic arts fair at London's Somerset House and I really recommended it to anyone interested in design and modern art. It's on 17-27 March - go check it out!
