3D Tv - the advert goes real world.

Samsung produced this lovely piece - a projected advert on a building in Amsterdam. I love these kind of projections they are really great to watch, great to recapture and put on the web and great for news coverage. This one is particularly nice - moments like the building cracking or the glass breaking and water falling out are very dramatic.



They have also turned the stunt into a Youtube based game where you have to click on as many butterflies as possible in teh given time to win yourself a lovely new 3D Tv. Have a go. If you win, remember me.

"I'd love you even if you were 56"

On Saturday night my friend Gemma introduced me to the joys that are STAR STORIES! Of course, being Welsh we chose to watch the star story of Catherine Zeta Jones, who hails from our hometown of Swansea. Big up the Welsh! Have a laugh while you watch the ad for it yourself.

The World Cup begins and Shakira's song captures it wonderfully!

I love this happy music video - the African dancing, the clips of players (did she have problems getting rights? because I know how difficult it can be). The song is catchy, even if you don't really know what you're singing.

From all the clips I have seen on the news it just seems like South Africa are just really happy to have the World Cup and mean to welcome the world with open arms. Their team aren't amazing but who cares! It's all about optimism and fun. They have the right attitude and the English fans could really learn from them.

And the lovely innocence of the kids out there is just gorgeous. A head girl of a little school interviewed on the news said that she was looking forward to meeting Victoria Beckham. Victoria, please make it happen!

Oh and here's what my friend Antoine sent me afterwards - apparently it's the original!

Friends in high places

I am so excited! My very clever and beautiful friend Felicity was on The One Show showing top chef Jay Rayner how to make the perfect chips. Apparently the secret is they have to be fried three times. As Felicity says it's a hassle but it's worth it! And she def looks great on TV. Me thinks she's the new Nigella!!

Check her out! http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00smnwy/The_One_Show_04_06_2010/

More iPad Brushes art...by my own fair finger.

This is my version of a work by an artist called Minjae Lee.

Brushes for iPad

This is my first 10 minute attempt at drawing using Brushes on iPad. It's a picture of the lovely Emma who I work with. Apparently Hockney is a convert and has switched from using the iPhone to using the iPad to create works of art to send to his friends. The great thing about it is that it is much easier than using a mouse to draw on a computer. Of course people who spend a lot of time drawing on their Macs and PCs have Wacoms - those lovely drawing pads. But these are expensive. They also aren't portable. The iPad means you can always have a drawing pad with you - and can whip it out to capture a scene if the fancy takes you.

Here are three works of art created by Hockney. What do you think?
