What a lazy boy.....

Sorry for my terrible laziness,i have no excuse other than i have recently got a bike and am on that all the time to take advantage of the weather.let's start off this new leaf of faithfulness to the blog with some classic garage.....

This tune is BIG!!!!!



I feel good,good,good......



not really garage,i'd say more like pikey fairground music but still excellent...



as the kind soul who posted this on youtube says,this is a "BAAAAAAAAAANNNGGGEERR!!"



obvious choice this but it's a good one..



all about this mix,the other side is pony...



i know this is cheesy but if you say you don't like it then you're lying...



bit later this one,eyes peeled for bizzle as a yoot dem..



that's enough for now,more tomorrow....

Ellesse Competition

ellesse collaborates with top creatives to promote design competition

ellesse is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the design competition CREATE TENNIS ART and with uber cool illustrator and typographer Si Scott as part of the jury. The iconic Italian sportswear brand is now unveiling 2 new collaborations, with textile print superstar Kate Gibb and Greek animation genius Babis Alexiadis. Two great inspirations to enter the competition!

Kate is an internationally renowned silk screen artist having worked for the likes of Dries Van Noten, Stussy, Adidas, Virgin Records and EMI Recordings. You might recognise her signature style from her ongoing collaboration with ‘The Chemical Brothers’ which started with the cover of the album “Surrender” (remember “hey boy, hey girl....”?).

Kate was influenced by vintage images of tennis players for the silk screen print she created for ellesse (see attachment). Applying layer upon layer of colour to these original images, she developed a unique print that captures the innovative qualities of the ellesse brand and the sense of tradition in her work as a silk screen artist.

Babis’ work focuses mostly on short animations and video art productions; it is recognised for being predominantly hand-drawn with a limited digital input. Babis has created pieces for the likes of BBC Big Screen West Midlands, the Midlands Arts Centre and Friction Arts and directed two music videos. In 2008, he won the first prize in the “Your Point of View” competition run by fashion brand BSB. He has also won the public choice award in the Micropolis international film festival in Athens, Greece.

The piece he created for the ellesse 50th anniversary consists of a quirky animation featuring hand-stitched characters which took over 100 hundred hours to create. Babis used a new technique and adopted a unique palette of water colours to illustrate the brand’s colourful history. You can check it out here or here

the deadline to enter the competition has been pushed to May 10th’; all you have to do is create a piece of art or design to commemorate the ellesse 50th anniversary inspired by the brand’s Italian heritage and sporting roots in tennis.

You could win €4,500 and be sent to the ellesse 50th anniversary event this summer in Rome where your work will be on display. An opportunity you shouldn’t miss...
The categories for the competition range from fashion and textiles, right through to fine art, sculpture, street art, graphics and digital.


Visit ellesse for more details and to enter the competition.

Updates and news can be found on the competition’s facebook
