Sam Winston's Words

"Pencil Drawing"

"Dictionary Story Book"

"Romeo & Juliet"

"Silent Listen"

"Made Up True Story"

"Folded Dictionary"

"Darwin"

I discovered Sam Winston's work here when I was doing my daily blog rounds, sometime last week. His work really struck a cord with me, as his creations are all based around words. But using words in a different way than they were intended. 

The original blog post on I Don't Eat Bread, featured a project based around Charles Darwin, where Winston went through a complicated process of going through one of Darwin's books and counting all the "nouns", "verbs", "adjectives" and "other", each time applying a dot to his paper. The finished product is really profound(the last image). There is much more to the project that what I have said and if you are interested, you should visit his site to see much more.

There's something about his work that is really sticking with me, would like to hear your thoughts too, what do you think?

Visit to London,01/09/09 - 04/09/09

First stop Tower of London...

Clearly getting away from Blackpool doesn't mean we can escape the stupid windiness, me and Hollie got hit by it me big.

Tower Bride in all its glory.

I've only just realised how long me neck is, gee wizz.

Jamesy at his place of worship.

Went for a cheeky half in a swanky pub on Mount St, followed by a trip to the Marc by Marc Jacobs store.

Just a run-of-the-mill mammoth. *apparently is not a mammoth but an unknown mammal*

I had to get a picture with Charles Darwin! Who wouldn't. At the Natural History Museum.

Nicely coloured little snuff bottle

"Jolly men", both at the British Museum.

And all nicely rounded off with afternoon tea at Liberty's.

We got up to lots of other stuff like visiting the National Gallery at Trafalgar Sqaure, meeting friends for food and drink and Hard Rock Cafe and shopping trips around Covent Garden and Regent St.

I will post soon on what I bought, a few nice treats I must say.
