The Joy Division documentary by Grant Gee. Been wanting to see it for ages, and it didn't disappoint.I also have the Radiohead one that he did, Meeting People Is Easy, really like his style.

I decided to make a little movie from bits of video taken while in Oz. It's not the best quality because it was taken on a digital camera.I had to send it to my brother on CD, so I had a bit of fun with the many stickers that are attached to suitcases in airports.

I put some images on my flickr site. I'm not a photographer though, it's just a collection of things I find interesting (bit like this) and they're all taken with a pocket sized digital camera.

I don't do enough illustration, so I've been trying to remedy that. I did this shortly after reading 'Metamorphosis'by Franz Kafka. Hopefully I'll get better!

There is something nice about a complete DVD collection of a televisionseries. It's definitely an achievment, particularly if it's an Americanseries as they do have a tendency to go on a bit. In what I can only describe as a moment of madness, I kidnapped my brother's whole collection of Seinfeld and tried to smuggle it home in my suitcase. A stupid move really, they are region 4 DVDs and useless

They used to freak me out, but I quite like old books now, you kind of wonder how they came to be in the second hand bookshop and what kind of 'life' they've had... or maybe that's just me! I bought these two in Skoobs Books in Bloomsbury,London. The George Orwell cover was designed by Alan Fletcher.

I got this, along with a few other books while in London. It's quite possible that I would have bought all of these recently re-issued Penguin Classics, designed by YES. Thank God for baggage restrictions.

I don't usually buy smoothies in the morning (coffee is more of a priority), but when I saw these I couldn't resist. It's part of the Big Knit 2008 at Innocent.

I also finally got to see Tate Britain. I think I managed to collectall their collections leaflets! I like the Happily Depressed one the best! I'm quickly running out of museums to visit, though going here was not a last resort, the London Underground fascinates me, it's just so old. I also really enjoyed the audio visual projections (see above).

That's right, where else but London, I haven't been anywhere else outside Ireland since I went to America nearly eight years ago. I will however be making a trip down under in the new year, can't get much further away than that. Hopefully I'll be able to handle the heat, Australia of course being located three quarters of a mile from the surface of the sun, to quote the above comedian, whom I had

I'm a bit confused, walked into Debenhams yesterday, and was confronted by numerous little trees, strategically placed throughout the store. Maybe I'm just crazy, but they looked a lot like Christmas decorations, there were fairy lights and everything. But it's October, the first week of to be exact. This is so very wrong.

When taking a photo of this exhibition at Tate Modern, I noticed that the tree under which I was standing, seemed to want to shield me from viewing a certain area of the exhibit, unfortunately the wind blew the leaves, and I couldn't quite capture how well placed the leaves were, but you get the idea!

I've gotten to the stage where I'm over the tourist attractions, and find the ground in tube stations far more interesting... and the walls, and the station notices (although my main reason for photographing it, was that it was my birthday, and I thought it would be cool), that and the fact that I thought I was about to die, after a day of, not so much sightseeing, but getting value for money by

There's something very Irish about this poster,which I spotted in Dublin airport last month. Tell peoplewhere there aren't any toilets, mess with there heads,enjoy watching them squirm. I'm not really sure what thepoint of it is, as the toilets are actually quite close toit, and had it not been there, I don't think I would haveeven noticed the door to which it was stuck.

Nothing exciting happening, hence the neglecting. I should have somenew work up soon. Oh, and I'm going to see 'What It Is' in November, ifyou don't know what what it is is, then you're not going to care anyway, so I'll leave it at that.

Went to see them yesterday, finally. Very good. However there were lots of ridiculously cute puppies and dogs, gambolling in the park, which proved slightly distracting. Also there were fartoo many plants around, I suppose all that is to be expected from an outdoor gig in the summer. I prefer pubs.

A few photos from the 'Breaking the Rules: The Printed Face of the Avante Garde 1900-1937' exhibition, in the British Library. It was only as I neared the end of the exhibition, that I was informed that no camera's were allowed. Oops!

A few photos from Jonathan Barnbrook's exhibition, Friendly Fire, at the Design Museum. The first one was just an arrow on the ground in the museum that I liked!

I also took this with me when I left work, it was too cool to leave. I estimate its age at somewhere between 12 and 15.

but part of the Grand Tour project by The Partners for the National Gallery! Of course I didn't know this at the time,it was only when I went to the Design Museum's Design's of the year exhibition, that I understood. Was quite intrigued when I spotted it though, and the point of this post? Well it won a D&AD award yesterday!

I didn't seem to look up much in Athlone, too busy with college I suppose. The only two I have are from a lazy sunny day atthe end of college, and a drunken night out at the end of college,hence the blur! Actually I might add this one in too, as it is theepitome of Athlone in winter, depressing as hell.

Dart bridge near Talbot StreetA pub on Dame Street (can't remember the name!)Connolly StationI was going through old photo's and I realised that I seem to be quite fond of looking up, particularly in train stations. Here are a selection of photo's where the subject matter is whatever happens to be above my head. As the name of the post would suggest, this first lot were taken in Dublin.

I don't like the way the text is running beside the picture, I'll have to figure out how to fix it, but if I don't, and that's quite possible, just let it be known, I'm not happy! Fixed it!

Because nothing exciting has really happened since starting this thing, I'm just going to put up photos of interesting (ish) things from the last year or so, starting with this, it washed up last Christmas on the beach near where I live.
