July 9th, 200417 Alfred Hitchcock Themed Murals in Leytonstone Tube Station
Alfred Hitchcock was born at 517 High Road, Leytonstone, in the east of London on 13th August 1899. To mark 100 years since this event, and to commemorate the director’s link with the area, 17 mosaics have been installed in the entrance corridors of Leytonstone tube station. They were made in vitreous glass tesserae, using the reverse method, by Greenwich Mural Workshop. The work required some 80,000 tiles, took seven months to complete, and the final installation took place during April 2001.
Curl – Handy tool
July 9th, 2004I discovered a neat application called cURL today, thanks to a link on Donncha’s blog to a site that lists sites that you can download content from using Curl.
One prime example is this Japanese photographer who has created pretty bleak black and white photos centered on spirituality or the life cycle. Strong stuff. Nothing that’ll brighten your day.
Found some pretty neat David LaChapelle stuff too. Here’s one you might like:

July 8th, 2004Cross of Iron
July 7th, 2004Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. – Dwight Eisenhower

Senescent Shaman
June 24th, 2004
It’s called “Senescent Shaman” and it’s done by Corey Le Chat. You can look at more of his work and loads more of other artists work at Grainbag. You can also buy these works. The curators blog is great, pity it doesn’t have an RSS feed.
The Rasterbator. The Rasterbator is a web service which creates huge rasterized pictures out of relatively small image files. The pictures can be assembled into extremely cool looking posters up to 5 meters in size. You upload an image it spits out a pdf which you print off and put together. I tried a butterfly photo but it seemed to complicated to fit on 8 pages. I’ll try something like someones face. Still it’s fucking cool.
