Just formatted the next five Do Lecture speaker portraits ready for their Do Lecture to go up the next week. Chezza does such a great job with the portraits, look how badass they all look.
Snow outside the shed (where I work).
A series of cardboard skateboards inspired by the infamous Z-boys, who changed skateboarding forever. The skateboards were part of an exhibition curated by myself and Danielle Lovett.
I really like these. I met Dominic at The Do Lectures, he is a dude.
We spent the afternoon photographing Alice at fforest for the first Do Book we’re doing.
fforest got two pigs this afternoon they are wicked. Look how full of LOVE our faces are.
They are both heavily preggerzzz and the piglets are due imminently.
I CAN’T WAIT.
They get the best life ever, eating tasty scraps from all the fforest campers.
Hello World.
We live in a world of instant this and that.
Instant soup.
Instant information.
Instant corporations.
Everything now. Everything overnight.
Everyone and everything connected to each other.
But sometimes we have to press the pause button.
We have to take a step back.
We need to remind ourselves that reputations have to be built and have to be built over time.
There are short cuts. And they are tempting.
There are ways to speed things up. But they may make us weaker in the long term.
The Do Lectures is in its 3rd year.
These are our reputation making years.
What is needed now for us is patience and hard work.
Patience that allows The Do Lectures to grow at its on speed.
And hard work to make sure we do everything we can do to make it a University for the 21st Century.
So heads down, sleeves rolled up. We got some work ahead of us.
This is us at the bottom of our mountain.
This is us putting each pixel into our picture.
This is us making our first steps up the reputation mountain, one simple step at a time, one event at a time, one brilliant speaker at a time.
Then in years to come, we will look up and the world’s eyes will be looking through the tent flap. And they will call us this instant overnight success.
And we will look up and say ‘Hello World’.
‘What took you so long?’
The Do Lectures have made this RAD flip book to showcase what they’re about.
It’s stuffed full of beautiful photos from the likes of Jonathan Cherry & James Bowden.
They just shoved a digital version online. Badass.
My favourite Do Lecture.
It’s all about Biomimicry in architecture. He’s part of a project called ‘The Sahara Rainforest Project.’ Watch it.
