From the pages of my notebooks - Ideas that got the chop.

These relate to a man and a car. The Car is a Standard Vanguard which was produced in England, but also went to Australia and India. The model is Phase 1 of which 175,000 were made between 1947-1953

I have no idea who the man is. Picture 2 shows some Indian looking gents ferrying the vehicle across a body of water. Picture 3 shows a large town in a heavily forested area. The plants look to be rainforesty (yes, that’s a real word).

I came by these the same way as the previous post.

My grandfather gave me a bunch of really ancient cameras. Aside from his interesting method of gifting them to me (he died, I liked them, my Granny didn’t) this image set came with them on glass slides. I think they are scenes of Dublin as I can see the Gasometer in the distance. Judging by the masted ships they must have been taken around the turn of the twentieth century. I know there was a fleet of seven or eight hooker style ships (picture 3) in the family at the time. Who knows though? It could be anywhere.

I have no idea who in my family would ever have been near any territory requiring an early icebreaker.

After the icebreaker earlier – then this. I have no idea what these are all about.

I entered a competition a while ago. It was a ‘design’ competition. I use that word in inverted commas because I always understood design to be about problem solving. However this ‘design’ competition only wanted an image/style with the title of the competition. Pretty lame.

I interpreted it using a visual language – sign language that is not necessarily deaf-approved but that we all use everyday. Here are the two posters I submitted. I used the same type on each which is probably a big no-no in style competitions. Bad me.

This is a drawing I originally did for Ciara. It is the single room in our last house outside of the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. I thought it would be nice to have this image at work and when things got bad to disappear home for even a few seconds.
