Competition - Hackett x GQ Notebook - Closed

To coincide with the recent London Collections: Men, Hackett have hooked up with GQ to create an exclusive line of notebooks to commemorate the event. Hackett have given me one of the limited edition notebooks to giveaway to one of my readers! This leather lined doozy is proper hot property and hasn't been released to the public as yet, if you were lucky enough to attend any of the shows you might have ended up with one of the special London Collections printed versions.

It features a pretty sweet little metal bowler hat and a black and grey nato style elastic strap to keep things together. This may well be more suited to a chap, but it would make a pretty cool gift for any male figure in your life. Or if you're like me a lover of stationery and seem to hoard notepads like they're going out of fashion.

Competition - Closed

To be in with a chance of winner the Hackett x GQ notebook (and I'll also bung in a couple of pencils from my own collection) just comment on this post saying that you want it. That's it, easy.

The competition is now closed.


I've been messing around with a new background for this post, what do you think?

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?
