Another cute toy turned evil…

December 22, 2011 by Marcus | 0 comments


I have finally got around to taking another photo for an image-set I’m putting together, Cuddly Toys After Dark. This time it features a Polar Bear puppet that I’ve had for years.

I’m now on the lookout for new bedrooms, new people and new cuddly toys to add to this, quite frankly, disturbing set so if you’re interested in having your photograph taking in your bedroom with your favourite cuddly toy – let me know.

Style & Creativity

I did a soft launch of this site last month and it’s had quite a good response. Style & Creativity is the new website to spawn from what was The Cheese Grater. After a server-side hacking, The Cheese Grater was compromised and I decided to leave it deceased as the numbers were falling on it and I just didn’t have enough time to maintain it anymore after I started my new job.

Nevertheless – Style & Creativity is a new project focused more on… yup, Style and Creativity. It’s got a wider contributor base than my old site, as it was only me. But after reaching out to contributors through Twitter and such like, it’s seeing a new level of community driven content that just wasn’t the case with The Cheese Grater no matter how hard I tried to push it. People just didn’t ‘get’ the old site.

It’s still early days (I haven’t even settled on a logo for it yet), but you can visit and register to it over on http://styleandcreativity.com

Follow Happy

November 19, 2011 by Marcus | 0 comments

This is a sponsored post from Honda, but just so you know, I turn down a lot of advertising requests, but this seemed relevant. Honda has outdone themselves with the use of their YouTube page, featuring various sections, all interactive and very cool, no wonder Honda’s campaign is the work of W+K. It’s called ‘Follow Happy’ and it highlights their way of working, but more importantly, their muse. When Honda is in doubt, happiness is their guide. After all, the pursuit of happiness is the reason anyone does anything.

I did have to do some digging around to actually Follow Happy, but after hunting around it was quite cool to play around with the campaign as a whole (the ‘Experiment’ tab on the YouTube page is quite fun, and a good use of pop-up windows)

Anyway, check out their YouTube page (it’s dope), which starts you off on a journey of happiness with the use of a dog and your computer’s microphone, so make sure to allow access.
