glow-in-the-dark-worms from this dude who lives near a nuclear plant!!! What a (radio active) waste!

Is he trying to tell us to stop throwing so much stuff away?

As an artist you should always think about the way you make people look at your work. I personally love it when art achieves to entertain you, puts a smile on your face or a frown, makes you think and generally just opens your eyes to discover a whole new world.

A few weeks ago I stumbled into the "Eyecandy '09" exhibition held in a gallery space in the Truman Brewery in Brick Lane. And when I saw Lisa Swerling's Glass Cathedral boxes I thought she must feel exactly the same way.

She created mini-mini puppets which she displayed behind or on top of glass boxes. I really loved the way you had to get really close to see these miniture people which where smaller than your fingertips. The combination of this near-microscopic endeavouring and her funny sometimes thought-provoking messages made me feel like I was a scientist with a magnifying glass walking through an undiscovered land.

Surely something I will remember for a very long time.

...that I shouldn't order my Wedding Cake from these guys here.

A few months back I noticed a few new street artworks appearing in Brick Lane by an artist called Nathan Bowen. I really liked his unique style of seemingly messy marker pen scribbles. Although they looked like chaos at the first sight they would somehow make up images if you'd stand a few meters away from the wall. A reoccurring theme were a swine and an evil-looking Ronald McDonald.

Last Friday when I walked down Brick Lane – I actually saw Nathan doing another of his pieces – it was called Greedy Swine – he was surrounded by two other photographers snapping away the artist at work. I only managed to ask him a few questions as he rushed to finish the work.

Although I'd imagine with his work he wants to bring some sort of anti-capitalist statement across he said that he'd also wanted to make the streets look a bit nicer.
