When you walk into Tesco to see a woman emptying all the baskets from their designated holder bar one, then using it as a Trolley/Zimmer Frame hybrid. Epic.

The New T-Mobile Ad Is… Inspirational?
Every once in a while an advert stand out – T-Mobile has been leading in the public sector for feel good, but I think this may be their best yet!
“Fucking Prawns!”
October 28, 2010 by Marcus | 0 comments
Inspired by District 9, this was my attempt at a DIY “Prawn” claw, unfortunately, upon further inspection, it actually looks nothing like it. Nevertheless, I had to make this bad boy after seeing how easy it was in this tutorial from Indy Mogul.
This is what it looked like right after I decided it was a good idea to layer the latex on while it was on my hand. Not the best idea, but I found out that I could cope with just one arm. Which is comforting.
After I got the base of it done I did my own thing and finished off the bottle of liquid latex. It was worth it though and more is on order for the rest of the arm… that’s right, a full, bad boy, mofo, alien arm!

What’s Your Fetish?
Inspired by ChooseMyMedium.com my good friend Chris and I set up a similar type of random generator… only this time, with fetishes.
It’s safe for work (so far) and it actually quite funny so whether you’re into PANCAKE TOSSING or GOLDFISH SNIFFING, there’s something for everybody. Again, like Choose My Medium, this list will be ever growing and we may implement a user submission feature as well as others. But for now, this is it: What’s My Fetish [whatsmyfetish.com]

Buddy Up
I don’t think i’m the only one that’s ever been approached by an overfly friendly person in London that treats you like his bestest friend ever… it’s a creepy situation. But with these new Buddies dotted around the capital, it makes a creepy situation, one of which people are looking forward to!
Above is some footage caught in London of the Buddies at work. I’ve come to believe they’re apart of a First Direct campaign to show that their customer service is better than the other banks, which makes sense as these guys will really brighten up your day!
How to get them to be your buddy, i’m not quite sure about. Maybe you just ask them, or maybe they can sense you need a buddy, in which case they take to the sky flying around looking for an appropriate place to land before slapping your life with a whole lotta awesome!
Leave a comment in the comments section below if you or someone you know has come in contact with these “Buddies”. The sooner we can get to the bottom of this friendly uprising, the better!

Choose My Medium
“Built while drunk, tweaked while hungover, finished before a shower.”
The website is now up and raring to go. The concept is simple – need to think of some mediums to advertise on? ChooseMyMedium.com randomises a growing list of media types from the usual suspects to something you probably haven’t even considered (which is the whole point of the website).
I kept it super simple and and it works sublime. Here’s a screenshot if you’re too lazy to visit the page:
Shout out to @JPHubbard keeping me company over Skype during this.

New Project: Operation “Pro Choice”
I’ve got home, it’s late, i’m drunk and I’ve had this idea in my head all day so i’m sitting up at quarter to 4 in the morning busting out some codage on dreamweaver trying to get this to work. Luckily, it’s working, but unluckily, because the domain is so new and I’ve had to point the nameservers to a different host… I can only view the site with the site preview and nothing is technically live on the internet yet.
The idea behind this new (minimalist) website, is to help creatives come up with a starting point for a campaign by throwing something into the mix that they might not have thought of. Hopefully it’ll pick up, maybe it’ll flop. Either way, I think it’s cool and i’ll be using it.
When it’s all live and hunky dory flavoured crisps, i’ll bust it out on here so whoever reads my blog can check it out – it probably won’t be relevant if you’re not in advertising though.

When A Man Loves A Woman…
he LETS her beat him up! Not really, we actually got mugged. Mugged by Photoshop! I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while after seeing something similar in the film “Get Him To The Greek”. My favourite part of this is the handmark bruise on Charlotte’s arm; nicely subtle.

Hello You Creatives: Special Print Edition
I just found out that some of my work has been published in the HYC first ever news print. What’s even more lucky is how I found out… on a Facebook album thumbnail!
I’m pretty stoked about that, just gutted I didn’t manage to get a copy of it. Maybe someone will be nice enough to [subtle hint] send me one?
Below is the full, colour version.Unfortunately, it’s not in a cool printed paper format like the tangible version above. This was inspired by the film Mon Onclé for a university project.
