Monday, 8 March 2010. I can't wait for the Alternative Fashion Week. In April after seeing this stunning collection from Sini Moilanen.

Magpie and I: Branded
http://magpie-and-i.blogspot.com/2009/11/branded.html
Monday, 9 November 2009. Even if the name doesn’t ring a bell, there’s no doubt that you’ll already know the distinctive figure of Grayson Perry. The 2003 Turner Prize winner, whose transvestite alter ego Claire was courted by a bemused press at the time, uses traditionally ‘safe’ media such as ceramics and textiles to communicate shocking modern issues. The winning combination of a Turner Prize artist, a crowd-drawing hit piece and the gallery’s stunning views over the east London rooftops, meant ...

Magpie and I: July 2009
http://magpie-and-i.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 31 July 2009. Of the magical mash-up that was Secret Garden Party 2009, via Suit Yourself Magazine. And my favourite photo of the weekend - a tribe of angry santas. An elf, a robot and a barn owl walk into a bar… No, it’s not the beginning of a surrealist joke but an average spectacle at Cambridgeshire’s flamboyant celebration of all things wacky, Secret Garden Party.

Monday, 21 September 2009. It's all so quiet. Well, I've moved to London and started studying my heart out so things might get a bit quiet here on Magpie and I.

In the meantime, feel free to email with your comments: laura dot snoad at hotmail dot com. Wednesday, 2 September 2009. Let me see the colts. For a long time, fans have watched Bill Callahan.

Magpie and I: Buff-ting
http://magpie-and-i.blogspot.com/2010/05/buff-ting.html
Saturday, 22 May 2010. Probably the best use of QR codes. That I've seen so far. Berlin-based artist Sweza. Captures graffiti with his camera then once the work is buffed, puts a QR code where the piece once was. Passers-by can then use a QR reader on their iPhone to take a picture of the code which will link to images of the original graffiti. Take a look at Sweza at work below.
