“Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating.” John Cleese.
This film was brought to my attention via Carla Sam @ Geekhearts + Nick Jankel (speaker at the CDF)…

Finding new blogs to follow by accident somehow seems more special…anyhow my new blog to follow is by Anamu (aka Ana Maria) a ‘LA native living in London’…(stumbled across her posts for Poppytalk the other day…) what swung it for me was a pretty awesome mixtape (when I say awesome, I mean totally blown away) that she has put together for March. Check that out on 8track..!
So much to check out on her site so will be definitely spending a whole bunch of time perusing this over what is left of Easter…
In her words: ‘I’m a flea market fanatic with a knack for diy, music, pretty things and being a tourist wherever I am.’

Added to the wishlist…
It’s Nice That No.8 – ‘Content includes interviews with architect John Pawson, art double act John Wood and Paul Harrison, design legend Paula Scher and art collective Slavs and Tatars. Of course, there’s the usual blend of original features and mini profiles as well.’ Words and pic It’s Nice That.

Saw this via Wolff Olins blog, really simple, and nicely shot film of Michael Wolff talking about ‘his approach to looking at the world, including the muscles of curiosity, appreciation, and imagination.’

A terribly lazy post, seen via What Makes Us in my usual daily/weekly sweep of favourite blog links…
Really lovely work from Love, (based in Manchester) for Umbro HQ, signage + generally making the work place a space to ‘inspire and motivate’. Images via Love.
A little extra is that Love has a blog as well…

Been a follower of SwissMiss for a while although never have sat through a complete viewing of an episode of her Creative Mornings talks that she organises. This talk by Michael Bierut (Pentagram) is fantastic, just very straight-forward, nothing pretentious, and honest. (Extra things I have from this talk is that Sagmeister is pronounced with a hard G rather than ‘Sage-meister as I first thought’!).
