Caffeine molecule graphic on the wall of the Active Study Room (aka The Think Tank) in Galbraith Hall at UC San Diego.
Apparently, pure caffeine is available in powdered form as a dietary supplement (?!) and is extremely dangerous in that state. One teaspoon packs the same punch as about 25 cups (roughly 1.2 gallons or 4.4 liters) of coffee and, sadly, people have died as a result of misusing the product. Best to stick to no more than four cups of coffee a day, if you can handle it.
Recipe to follow:
4 cups cake flour
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp ground ginger
21/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups soy kremer
1 cups molasses
2 cups brown sugar
2 Tbsp white vinegar
1.5 cups shredded carrots
Sift dry together; Combine wet and mix with the dry then fold in the carrots.
Place in greased baking pans of your choice and bake 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees.
Split in half or top with whipped soy or nut kreme.

Vodka, tomato juice plus a dash of tabasco and Worcestershire sauce and you have the perfect brunch! It's interesting to see how Green Mark vodka is gaining an increasing share of the UK market and while it lacks any flash advertising campaigns it has two things in its favour: quality and price; a winning combination?

Need a pickmeup.
Old photo from a couple months ago, cleaning out folders and found it. Thought I might give it a whirl in photoshop.
I've challenged myself to get my portraits taken with my son in September when he turns two. There are so few of him and I. But it's still odd to not be behind the camera.
1: tea
2: crumpets
3: melty butter
after a cold and windy walk home from work (my chauffeur is out of town - how inconvenient!) this is just the pick-me-up needed. it's now pelting it down outside, and is even windier than it was earlier, but i care not! sometimes, just sometimes, it's good to be english :)
The first leg of our trip we stayed with our dear friend Christine in her apartment on Second Ave/4th Street in Manhattan, smack in the middle of the old 'Lower East Side": not only the neighborhood that provided Luz with her earliest childhood memories -having lived there between the ages of 3 and 10 years oldm - but also the apartment I shared with Christine for a while when I worked in NYC in the early eighties.
On our first day we got up extremely early (yes, jet lag, of course...) and walked the streets between 6 and 8 AM. Needless to say we found many changes since we last roamed these streets 5 years ago. Brightly colored fun storefronts like this one, however, could always be found in this artsy fartsy area... The wallpainting reminds us of pre 9/11 days while the name of the cafe reinforces New York's reputation for amoral and sinful fun...

The Postcard
An Inter-Art Comique Series postcard that was printed in England and published in London. The artwork was by C.
The card was posted using a 2d. stamp in Shanklin, Isle-of-Wight on Monday the 7th. July 1952 to:
Mr. G. Blackford,
'Trevone',
Fifth Road,
Newbury,
Berks.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Sunday.
Dear Gordon,
We are having a fine
time here. Guess you
are looking forward
to your holiday.
Don't work too hard.
Kindest regards to
Mrs. Blackford.
Cheerio from
Vic."
The Blue Angels
So what else happened on the day that Vic posted the card to Gordon?
Well, on the 7th. July 1952, Lt. Bud Wood of the Blue Angels was killed when his F9F-5 Panther collided with another Panther jet during a demonstration in Corpus Christi, Texas. The team resumed performances two weeks later.
The Blue Angels is a flight demonstration squadron of the United States Navy. Formed in 1946, the unit is the second oldest formal aerobatic team in the world, after the French Patrouille de France formed in 1931. The team, composed of six Navy and one Marine Corps demonstration pilot, currently fly Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornets.
The Blue Angels typically perform aerial displays in at least 60 shows annually at 30 locations throughout the United States, and two shows at one location in Canada.
The "Blues" still employ many of the same practices and techniques used in the inaugural 1946 season. An estimated 11 million spectators view the squadron during air shows from March through November each year.
Members of the Blue Angels team also visit more than 50,000 people in schools, hospitals, and community functions at air show cities. Since 1946, the Blue Angels have flown for more than 505 million spectators.
As of November 2011, the Blue Angels received $37 million annually from the annual Department of Defense budget.
Blue Angel Deaths
As well as Bud Wood, the following 20 members of the Blue Angels have died since 1946 while performing their duties:
-- Lt. Ross "Robby" Robinson â 29th. September 1946: killed during a performance when a wingtip broke off his F8F-1 Bearcat, sending him into an unrecoverable spin.

Other Blue Angel Incidents

Dewenter was uninjured, but the plane was a total loss.
-- Lt. Ernie Christensen â 30th. August 1970: belly-landed his F-4J Phantom at The Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, after he inadvertently left the landing gear in the up position. He ejected safely, while the aircraft slid off the runway.

-- Marine Corps Maj. Charles Moseley and Cmdr. Pat Moneymaker â 23rd. January 1990: their Blue Angel Hornets suffered a mid-air collision during a practice at El Centro. Moseley ejected safely and Moneymaker was able to land his airplane, which then required a complete right wing replacement.
-- Lt. Ted Steelman â 1st. December 2004: ejected from his F/A-18 approximately one mile off Perdido Key after his aircraft struck the water, suffering catastrophic engine and structural damage. Ted suffered minor injuries.
Everytime I go into a supermarket I stop at the magazine shelf to check out the daily life gossip mag front covers. They really are unbelieveable!
Such headlines as:
"Escaped from the jaws of DEATH"
and
"My lips are made from my... VAGINA"
never cease to amaze me. Even the typography and layout with crappy little arrows pointing at exploding breasts are comical.
One day, my pedigree chums, this will be considered art.

Several operators are currently experimenting with demand responsive services which sit somewhere between 'normal' scheduled bus routes and taxis. The Oxford Bus Company launched Pick Me Up in 2018 originally using 6 all Mercedes-Benz Sprinters although 10 are currently in use offering demand responsive journey's via an App across Eastern Oxford.
RF68FLX (978) is one of two EVM Cityline converted Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 516CDI's bought in late 2018 to cope with increased demand and is seen here passing down a busy St Aldate's in Oxford city centre. However, whether such services remain a viable long term proposition remains to be seen.
A glass of KahlĂșa, some fresh cream and strawberries...nice.
I have, courtesy of our unprecedented cold snap, a dose of Flu, this was a little indulgence to cheer me up.

I'm stuck here in a town and body that doesn't fit to my shape right. These people get me down telling me that they are better and I don't even know any single things about how they feel. More importantly they know that they have better things to do then worry about me. I'm down, again! Get me out of this month. My luck hasn't been standing across from me lately, it's been treating all the other patients. . . and it knows I'm due for some good luck, but there's other people with lives so horrible I wouldn't even be able to survive in. I know, I've been patient though, really. I need love from you. I'm not trying to get everybody down around me. I'm not even sad, when things are going to the right way I'm fine. I can't help that I'm struggling with ripping pages apart. I can't help that I have a conscience that erupts every other full moon. I've got things to do and I don't want anything but a grin that I can relate to.
This design was for the Puck Collective pitch at Pick Me Up London.
We each produced a couple of designs to be printed by Ditto press on their Risograph printer. This is the original file but I will post some photos from the show soon. The prints will also be available on the Puck website for sale soon.
More pictures of the work I did with No Brow. The characters are based on a screen printed illustration by French artist Karine Bernadou that appears in the latest issue of No Brow.
