The “oceanario” was probably one of the highlights. Not only because of the abundance of sea-life, but also because of this amazing tiled artwork. The individual tile designs were inspired by the tiles ubiquitous to that region of Portugal that can be see across the facades of buildings all over Lisboa.</p>http://blog.james-gibbs.co.uk/post/52872526811http://blog.james-gibbs.co.uk/post/52872526811Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:44:00 -0400arttilesceramicsseaoceanlisbonlisboaportugalturtleswoodplywoodblue<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0c1b5bf08bdf528619cf0f9df1e09dc2/tumblr_mm28rlUfcr1qbof72o7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5cfc01ec919e558f835414afb02ec006/tumblr_mm28rlUfcr1qbof72o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f9c6d7b534e2e20d668162edb8659796/tumblr_mm28rlUfcr1qbof72o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f96457fc7c9778508891c48c848b70da/tumblr_mm28rlUfcr1qbof72o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8e132a66a7ae6ecdf94ff61f30aedfe0/tumblr_mm28rlUfcr1qbof72o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/350753ce035a93ed0baf5f1d95fdecb7/tumblr_mm28rlUfcr1qbof72o8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/62abdd174fc5080d9c0650b5d647a799/tumblr_mm28rlUfcr1qbof72o10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/748547a793133b6e3a39da1d89089f6a/tumblr_mm28rlUfcr1qbof72o9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Visual research - Various posters promoting a “Grow Your Own” lifestyle.</p>http://blog.james-gibbs.co.uk/post/49248313772http://blog.james-gibbs.co.uk/post/49248313772Tue, 30 Apr 2013 04:54:57 -0400posterpostersillustrationgraphic design40smodernmid-centurymodernistgrow your ownfoodvegetablesfarmallotmentgardenartdrawingpaintingprintsscreen printwarww2minimalgreenenvironmental<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8527b761a629b802a154b8b9396804ce/tumblr_mj728ck9HW1qbof72o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I figured it was time for another seasonal eclectic playlist.

(Go on, hold your phone right up close to your eyes… I did).  In the image above the angle of the top of the iPhone parallels that of the top of the monolith from the well known 2001: A Space Odyssey - dawning of man scene. Perhaps Apple were considering similar contextual outcomes to Kubrick when making this image, or perhaps it’s just a coincidence. However, the monolith from 2001 inspires or encourages the technological progress and development of mankind. I would not be surprised if this was considered, since Apple put a lot of thought (and persuasive material) into almost everything they do.  </p>http://blog.james-gibbs.co.uk/post/31514978463http://blog.james-gibbs.co.uk/post/31514978463Fri, 14 Sep 2012 05:12:00 -0400appleiphone 5monolith2001kubrick<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9vulzxIMM1qbof72o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>It’s such a lovely evening here in Bristol.
