Poster001
Well, that's a bit of an overstatement I admit.
But in a way, it's true.

I was opening up some boxes the other day and stumbled upon this
little poster I've designed whilst at the London Pick Me Up art fair
back in March this year, where Mr. Burrill's was running a quite cool
workshop where visitors cut & pasted from templates and created
their very own designs.

I like. ;)

My step mother-in-law has 3 little dogs. The other day I was at hers and
bumped into this rather interesting and funny document: a dog registry document.

It shows the registered family tree for one her dogs, a hairy Llasa Apso whose registered
name is Duxo Kun Byams. Don't ask me what that stands for.

This is the first time I see one of these. Hilarious.
I have no idea where the owners have found such a weird and random
combination of surnames.

My favourite: Spice Girl of Excalibur Quest. Some more random stuff below.
So next time you are to name something, be it your son, a film or a whatever that
comes across, you know where to look for.

I find this quite inspiring. It's a sort of Kraftwerk 2.0 with a twist. Love the idea of hacking toys.

As you've probably heard in the international media, Mistersoaåres has just moved
its headquarters from London to Sao Paulo. But before coming south of the equator
we had a stop in Japan. And it was foocking awesome.

The first word that comes to mind about the experience in the country
is: RESPECT.

A friend of mine who went there a few years ago also said 'proper',
but I still insist that respect sums it it up way better. You'll see it all over the
place: the super-ultra cleanliness of the streets (I've seen one guy hoovering
the the sidewalk!), the politeness of the people and absurd quality of service
everywhere you go, from the stall in the market to the bar at the rooftop
of Mandarin Hotel (yes, that's me showing off).

I've always had the image in my head of a extremely geek country, full of rules
and not much fun. It turned out I was wrong. Well, japanese society is still very dense
with rules and formalities. But Tokyo, for instance, is as alive and full of energy
as NYC or São Paulo, is 10 times more creative than London (maybe I'm exagerating)
and is as civilized as Scandinavia. Mazers.

I'll leave you with these treats below taken at Tokyu Hands in Shibuya, Tokyo.
A huge department store, where you can find from a 300 types of post-it notes
to a mini-projector that will turn your toilet into a planetarium when having a bath. 

Mx.

We're now operating from our new headquarters in São Paulo.
It's been some exciting months lately, so apologies for the total lack
of regularity in posting the usual extremely cool and hot shit.

Washingup
I was doing the washing-up this morning (yes, I've become a sort of house
husband for
a few weeks, but not a vagabond as we're preparing our move to Brazil) and the idea for this post occurred in my head. 

You know, washing-up makes me think. Not exacly the best ideas.
But at least, it's one advantage of this painful household task.

I came up with a new swear word: Grandson of a Bitch.
That is not exactly a swear word so to speak.

The bitch is a filthy woman, one you could give all sorts of bad adjectives.
The son of a bitch is the poor result of her misbehaviour. 

However the Grandson of Bitch, is a hero. All he's left is good karma,
because of all the actions by the generations before him and the bad karma resulting
from that. So, it sounds more like a compliment rather than an expression of anger. 

Right? So every time you want to express your excitement about
someone, just go for:

"Hey, you Grandson of a bitch!"

And a dumb radio controlled dino.

It's been a while since I've been too lazy and involved in other things 
to keep the Mistersoaåres up to date. Anyway.

I've recently bought a Canon 550S. Pretty awesome I have to say.
So expect more and more awesome films round here from now on.

Laters dudes.

Ok, I know, I've been out for many days now. 
Apologies to my massive and faithful audience. 

I'm still on the run down here at home, Brazil.
More precisely in São Paulo. What a chaotic and awesome city.
Remember, CHAOS = GOOD, so SÃO PAULO = GOOD. Simply put.
 
It's incredible how many bright people I've bumped into in the last few days.
Gotta a plane to catch now, but promise to write a few more lines for you.
 
In the meantime enjoy some awesome pics. Mx

Banana

If you have it you don't need it. 
If you need it you don't have it. 
If you have it you need more of it. 
If you have more of it you don't need less of it. 
You need it to get it, 
and you certainly need it to get more of it. 
But if you don't already have any of it begin with 
you can't get any of it to get started 
which means you really have no idea how to get it in the first place, do you? 
You can share it, sure. 
You can even stockpile it if you'd like. 
But you can't fake it. 
Wanting it, needing it, wishing for it. 
The point is, 
if you've never had any of it, ever 
people just seem to know.

Johnny Kelly and Matt Cooper (Nexus) did a remarkable job for Elisava School of Design
in Barcelona. Below is a screen grab of the website with a series
of animated GIFs. They also ask users for their contribution. It's worth the visit.
Above is my creation for them.


I just think that animated GIFs are one of the silliest things on the web.

My life is too crazy at the moment to post a new idea everyday.

Not because of a lack of good ones. I'm an eternal fountain of awesomeness. 
It's just logistics.
So having said that, I'll keep the project going until Idea #10, not necessarily on a daily basis. That's it.

Enough chitchating now. 

There's Google Street View. But it only covers roads, as it says on the name.
Imagine how many cool places exist out there unexplored by Street View?

Woods_view

That's where StupidView™ comes in. It will take you to places where no one has 
ever dared to be at. The idea is to attach a 360º camera onto a bag and get someone 
to take it to the most daunting and unusual places.

Pedestrian_view

Possibilities are endless.

Climber_view

Oops. A little downhill slip there.
