Liverpool Biennial
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008Time is running out to visit the Liverpool Biennial. The most interesting for me were the exhibitions away from the main galleries that transform unexpected buildings and venues across the city, be it a former DIY shop or the Pilkingtons factory.

Friday, October 31st, 2008From Baker Street to Little Lever Street.
Events have been rather exciting of late at Glorious HQ; what with the birth of Tommy’s little boy Fred, wins at The Roses and Gramias awards, and…a leaky roof. Life round these parts is never dull.
Some folks scoff at our subterranean abode, but as Oscar Wilde said, “We are [...]

D&AD President’s Lecture - Matt Pyke, Universal Everything
Monday, October 27th, 2008Reel / 2008 from Universal Everything on Vimeo.
Last Thursday, a few of us went to the Liverpool Design Symposium and saw Matt Pike from Universal Everything give his talk. I think it’s fair to say that we were all pretty blown away by the whole thing. He seems to be operating on a different level [...]
