“Oil & Water Do Not Mix” posters

A limited run of 200 were screenprinted using oil from the BP spill, off the beaches of Louisiana.
A project by Happiness Brussels, the posters were designed by Anthony Burrill and printed by Purple Monkey Design in New Orleans, Louisiana. The now sold-out posters were going for €150 at gulfofmexico2010.com with all benefits going to the “Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana” (CRCL). You can see more photos of the process here.

Legacy of Letters

You may not think watching someone draw Gothic letters is fascinating as I do.
You have to at least agree that this guy is really talented.

Just a little shamless promotion

It’s only because I’m so proud this is done.
I have a brand spankin’ new website at thoughtbrain.com. I couldn’t have done it without my husband, Andrew (aka Roo), who mastered jQuery so my site would look fancy.

There are still some things I know I need to tweek, but I’d appreciate a look or two! :)
The next stage will be to revamp this blog, make it match the new site and hopefully add some fun features too.
