Goooorping Hermes stylie....

On Wednesday NGU (a grand friend of mine) and I stood gorping through Liberty's windows for ages...he like the 5 year old inside him thought it was hilarious that this woman was spending aaaaages rollering the floor with pink paint and how old people kept stopping and staring at her like she was part of the display....well it was quite funny...so I took a picture of her make her feel special..



I then went onto discombobulate the actual reason of this trashy caravan plastic 70's neon disposable everyday household items reminding me of items that have clearly escaped from my little sisters wendy house.. which were ladden on mannequins like the weight of trash on fashion was mangled with BEAUTIFUL Hermes scarvess...ahhh....I cant be sure but it looked beautiful and made a true statement of the scarves in such an unusual setting one in particular caught our eyes...yellow with 50's beauty pageant hairsprayed within an inch of their life with pearl like beading...i will make it my duty to discover the origin and meaning of this print..it was so very unusual yet trashily fitting within its environment within that little intruiging bubble of libertys window.








Note this poor women tugging this mass of Hermes on her back like the Hermes horse has for hundreds of years...I could seriously spend hours denoting the meaning of this art like installation...



More to the point this was for an exhibition going on from 7th September -18th October within Libertys about the beauty of the Hermes scarf and was infact called "Hermes pour Liberty of London" and I will most definetly making a call into there on Monday...a post will follow...

I want to apologise for the virginial blogspot style to my postings....I am new and learning and I guess we are all in this position at one point or another....I will make it my duty to improve...sincerest apologies! Also the boringnessssss of the visual appearance my dear friend at NGU is currently creating me a header...yumm!

Games ON

Recently I was delighted to find that Abraham Games had landed in a town near me....Bedford...Yes Bedford? I hear you ask why? Im sorry I dont have the answer. Anywho more to the point the exhibition was a collection of his most famous posters produced through his reign as who I see as one of the greatest graphic designers/ illustrators. After conversatons with museumereer (they must have real job titles sorry!) I found that this was all organised by his daughter and this humbled me further to beauty and personalised intamicy of the exhibition. Firstly the poster below caught my attention as I am currently pondring over the handmade/ homemade revival and thought that this should most definelty be re-produced!
It reads "Our jungle fighters want socks"....anything that encourages knitting I am all for! My fascination with Games is not only due to his numb humour in which he manages to challenge his talent it is also his persistance against photography...something which so many graphic designers repeatedly hide behind....



This was particularly one of my favourite posters in the museum due this little secret sketch sheet which accompanied the final piece....you can clearly see Games thought process and colour palette considerations...these where eventually posters produced for London transport and London tourist board....G-E-N-I-U-S





Also I fell in love with Games when it was noted that he hid names of his precious family in the majority of his work....a true gentlemen not afraid to show his passion to both his art and his family.
