Blacksmith's arms, you know?
An artist blacksmith had won a national design award for his collection of metal sculptures. Cameron Pearson, a graduate from Hereford College of Arts, was named the New Designer of the Year after beating off 2500 other graduates at the New Designers event in London.

This is such a weird looking guy and it made my day
White ink graffiti on a black drainpipe, showing a humanoid figure with a long neck that bends forward and oversized, vaguely coffin-shaped head. It has no facial features but is wearing a suit jacket with buttons on the lapels.

Hey, I haven't showed you guys my holiday photos yet.

Old city'. The billboard has been grafittied. A dark, narrow lane with zig-zagging flourescent tubes at ceiling height.

Clonycavaan Man wants you to know that he was into that thing you like long before you'd even heard of it.
Clonycavan Man, early Iron Age (392-201 BC). In February 2003 workers at a pear extraction works in Ballivor, County Meath, discovered the preserved body of a man in a peat-screening machine... Hair on the chin and upper lip suggested the former presence of a moustache and goatee beard. Clonycavan man had a very distinctive hairstyle. On the back of the head the hair was cut to about 2.5cm long with the rest of the hair, which was about 20cm long, gathered into a bundle on the top of his head.

It's been too rainy to go out taking photos much this week, so I built a DIY lightbox and experimented a bit.

I went to Calton Hill to take photos. Only about 5 of them have the monument, the rest are all plants.
