Our Nike football kit arrived today just in time for our match tonight! The kit is a collaboration between us and SYC. Kit modeled by the handsome Jack.
We kicked 2010 off with DVD club, 8 am classic movies, accompanied by homemade sausage rolls for breakfast. Dirty Harry was our first! Total club rating was 8.9.
The common source for both films—deep backstory for Dirty Harry (1971), narrative arc for Zodiac (2007)—is the Zodiac killer. In 1969, the Zodiac began a slow burn spree that claimed five (confirmed) murder victims in and around San Francisco, a relatively low body count that belies the city-wide terror incited by a territorial predator with a penchant for epistolary expression. Taking a page from Jack the Ripper, the self-christened Zodiac sent ominous ravings and coded messages to Bay Area newspapers, bragging of his homicides and threatening, in his most chilling taunt, to shoot children on school buses, or, as he phrased it, to “pick off kiddies as they come bouncing out.” Going on hiatus as suddenly as he opened fire, the Zodiac eluded capture and denied the reassurance of a case closed.
We headed down to the launch of the Kidrobot Munnyworld exhibition in New York last night. Our Munny was there alongside other great artists including Tado, Jon Burgerman and Serge Seidlitz. The space is only open for 3 days though so better get down quick to check it out…

We took a lil daytrip today to see Dayfold printers down in lovely Dorset. No cream teas on the cards though, just a sneak peek at our new book going to press.

A few days ago we sent the team at pfizer a big bunch of cupcakes with some of the many characters we have been drawing, and drawing and drawing over the last 4 weeks… We’ve drawn thousands upon thousands of these people!
