Free cartoons, comedy, short comedy films, art and reviews
Bail happy hour was the subject on an email in the inbox today. It sets off so many unlikely images. I’d love to know if that was random or if someone is sitting there thinking up titles that you just have to open. If the latter that is the best so far.
We have a new art project starting called Contemporary Barter. We all know barter is the way people used to do transactions, the way many people wish it was now. But exactly how far can you go with a barter?
The project lasts for one year and asks:
What will we have bartered our items for after one year?
So what will we own instead of these things in a years time? We have three barter items and anyone is welcome to make an offer of something they will barter for one of them. We will make the exchange by post.
Where ever you are in the world, what will you barter for:
1. A yellow two-er lego block
2. A green Oxfam biro pen
3. [yet to be decided]
We have several fine art projects on the go and actively want everyone to join in. Where ever you are in the world we want to enable you to be creative and discover the excitement of the world of contemporary art.
Photo Exhibition
We are arranging an online Photo exhibition of photos taken by anyone, all over the world. Entry is free and we will post the entries online for the world to see. Please email your photos from your camera phone to your highspec SLR to photos@concepttshirts.co.uk.
Everyone must enter – this is not about some ethereal quality, but about seeing the world through other people’s eyesÂ
Dragon’s Den is one of the BBC’s hit programmes, the format and the British version sold around the world. Evan Davis is a great presenter with an unexpected charm and nipped in suits. Of course the programme is made for TV and there has to be focus on drama. The people who break down, the arguments and misunderstandings. As with all TV reality shows the participants have quickly changed to those who are keen to be on the telly. An interesting application of the reality format, but very much a TV show rather than a means of raising money for entrepreneurs.
Second albums are always difficult, but this should have been left at one series and everyone could have smiled and said nice idea, conceptually elegant. But series two is – unfortunately – not cutting the mustard. The ’stars’ that humble themselves now have meaningless cameos. Stephen Merchant’s wide-eyed agent is out of some other more outre production. Andy’s workplace sitcom takes up too much of the 30 minutes show and his meetings with Maggie have to be contrived now that he is no longer an extra.
Where they stray into brilliance is the dissection of the British media and the way a ’story’ that never existed grew to fill daytime TV slots and radio phone ins.
>> Still better than much on TV, but losing focus and not utilising it’s great strength (the catching of big names to appear) to the full. If it is only designed to tell us that Ricky believes he would have made a much better Office if he’d had more control, it is a long winded way of doing it.
