Rude Britannia!

Do you like your humour served up with a dose of the absurd, bawdy or just plain slapstick? Do you enjoy seeing politicians squirm before the cruelty of satirists (well, who doesn’t)? If so, take yourself off to the Tate Britain for their latest exhibition, Rude Britannia, celebrating 400 years of British comic art. Divided into separate rooms with themes such as ‘Bawdy’, ‘Social Satire’ and ‘Politics’, the exhibition showcases examples of cartoons and other forms of humorous art from the 1600s to the present day.
Highlights? Well, look out for …

David vs Goliath in the FA Cup

That’s right ladies and gents, it’s that time of the season again to prepare ourselves for the FA Cup Final. This season, which will see the 129th FA Cup Final, will see two teams who are at polar opposites in the Premiership battle it out for the trophy. But what’s gone on, particularly with Portsmouth, that has led to such a catastrophic fall from grace in as little as two years, and how have Chelsea improved to become Premier League Champions again?
For Chelsea, it’s been a return to the Mourinho-era …

Doodle Me This, Doodle Me That – Illustrations Anyone?

As many of you will hopefully now know, I (Teeny Tiny) have my own events company, which I started from scratch. Now this isn’t a post to plug my own stuff, I would never do that. However, if you were interested the web page can be found by clicking here. The main reason I am writing this particular blog is to plug something else. Or rather, someone.
Part of the reason I have done so well with these endeavors is due to the fab logo the company has, which was kindly …

Theatre: Othello

I am not the world’s greatest expert on Shakespeare, but I do know a good play when I see one. And last Thursday, at the Blue Elephant Theatre in Camberwell, I most definitely saw one.

Othello, if you don’t know, is a story of love, racism, jealousy and betrayal; we watch as our main characters develop and then unfurl in front of our eyes. Although the original text was written in approximately 1603, many of the themes are still relevant to society today.

From the opening scene of last nights production, I had …

Beauty is only skin deep…

I was just browsing some artwork and came across these fantastic images by Stephen Perry.

I think they’re beautiful; surreal and dreamy. If you like them too check out his website here.

Indian Spring Has Sprung

Hi, my name’s Angharad and I’m addicted to…all things Indian. Not just the food (although I’ve just learned to make kick-ass tandoori salmon); I am also obsessed with Indian clothes, jewellery, ornaments and artwork. My bedroom looks a little like it aspires to be a scene from the Ramayana, with Indian prints on the walls and a Rajasthani rug which I think of affectionately as my Magic Carpet (there’s a little bit of Disney in everyone). As you can imagine, I am therefore pretty excited whenever there is an Indian …

Signs of the times…

Signs of the times…

One of my favourite things about London is the history that is obvious on nearly every street. Whether its the remnants of an old sign painted on a building that has long since changed hands, or a weathered old sign such as this one in Southwark…

Which reminded me of a photo a friend of mine took last year  outside his studio. At 1am it was a blank wall, and by the morning this had appeared…

Genius. I love London. x
