I took my broken footed body down to see the Adidas Fanatic football tournament in New York at the weekend. The line up was impressive; Psyop, Chinatown Soccer Club, Complex Mag, Kidrobot, Vice etc all turning out on a lovely day. For the first time in six years, the event was held at Chelsea Waterside Park a huge crowd enjoyed the free beer and barbeque while taking in some sizzling soccer action on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Even one of the Olsen twins turned up to have a little nose.

A couple of us travelled up to North London to check out the studio shoot for the Playstation ad we’re going to be working
on some animation for. Things were looking pretty good and Jez the director showed us his best dragon impression.
Scary stuff. More on that to come.

Our friends at Artful Dodger NY Fedex’d us a sample and they chucked in a few very random goodies.
Hmmmm thanks guys.

Check this new alternative to the traditional gift tag, handy little cards to slip onto the neck of a wine bottle. Proper! 

This looks amazing.

Spotted these on eBay…. possibly the rarest Nike sneaker of all time!

Lardy cake, also known as Lardy bread, Lardy Johns, Dough cake or Fourses cake is a traditional bread from England.
The main ingredients are lard (specifically freshly rendered pork lard), flour, sugar, spices, currants and raisins.
Lardy cake can be eaten any time of day as a snack, but is most commonly consumed in the afternoon with a beverage
such as tea or coffee. Lardy cakes are very rich and sweet and eaten traditionally for
special occasions—in particular, high days and holidays and harvest festivals.

As reported by author Elizabeth David, a Hampshire cookbook advises that the cake be turned upside down after
baking “so the lard can soak through.” It is theoretically possible to substitute butter, but as Mrs David puts it:
“How could they be Lardy cakes without lard?”
