Spot The Difference.

Evening. Hope you're all somehow going about your lives despite the treacherous conditions. I fell over yesterday, but don't panic because I managed to contort my body in mid-air to avoid landing in such a way that would break the Kinder Egg in my pocket. A lucky escape, I'm sure you'll agree. I'm expecting a TV news crew at any moment.

ANYWAY, that's not why I've called you here today. I would like to direct your attention to another blog. This one belongs to a friend of a friend and is a genuine danger to your free time. I intended to dip in and read a few entries but now I've read the whole dang thing.

It's called 'London, Differently' and is the chronicled adventures of a girl who realised she was too broke to afford a holiday and decided to spend a year "rummaging through London to try on all kinds of the lives that are lived here." A champion idea, I'm sure you'll agree.

Now it would be all too easy to attempt something like this and only make pedestrian changes, but our author scoffs at that notion. Instead throwing herself whole-heartedly into the breach: Becoming a vampire. Getting covered in various animal poops and, yes... Taking a short break in a nudist camp only to discover it was in fact a sex camp.

Anyway, it's fascinating, inspiring and well-written to the point that it makes me feel bad about my own piss-poor writing skills. Hooray!

Have a squiz, it's London, Differently.

Size matters.

Evening my young Linkateers, got some great stuff for you tonight. Couple of artists called John Rooney and... err, Slinkachu. The former is the creator of 'Smash Bonsai' which involves taking little toy cars and deforming them to make them look like they have crashed, then coupling them with Bonsai Trees. Genius, I think you'll agree:



Check out The Site and have a poke about for more pics.

Next, I am linking to another blog. Albeit one with far greater artistic merit than my own. You may well see some of this guy's work if you are in London and you keep your eyes peeled. I can't sum it up any better than the tagline on the blog. 'Little handpainted people, left in London to fend for themselves'.





Aww.
He also did a project called Inner City Snail and... well, just take a look for yourselves Here or peruse more from the Little People Here.
