Hello, I am back (there’s still some mental-crazy-fun-times Alt Albion trip summaries to come though). This means, oui, we are back on track with normal posting! Thank you for your patience. This is a UK themed edition of CFS Loves, and by god, there is a lot to love about the United Kingdom.
- Sophie Kern is a fantastic illustrator, educated in Brighton and now working in London. Her work is mythical, bright and adorable. A visual worm you want in your brain. I especially love this Hypnotise print:
- The This Is Naive London Guide is low-fi, filled with charming descriptions and recommendations that will make you feel like an insider. I only wish I had more time to investigate this list! If you are new to London or visiting, I suggest you print and mark this up.
- Art And Things is a magazine passionate about all things creative. It’s available digitally (spreads and a blog) or you can pick it up in the flesh (it’s on a nice matte stock) – at record stores and other cool places around London.
- Tired of merely looking good and smoking cigarettes Shoreditch? Expand your mind and aesthetic by paying a visit to Artwords Bookshop. While there I bought a few of these incredible cigarette books by Tank.
- We love music, yes we do! It’s an addiction that can never be quelled. Here’s 5 mean Glaswegian bands to check out: Remember Remember, Glasvegas, Mogwai, Teenage Fanclub and Primal Scream. Music was definitely a big part of being on the road.
- Some of my favourite advertising copy ever was written for the Tate. My recent visit to Tate Liverpool and Tate Modern reminded me of these: I’m Hungover, I Have a Big Meeting and I’ve Just Split Up. Brilliant.
- Dr. D is an awesome cut X paste street artist who I came across at Brighton’s Art Republic. Mind the Smack? Don’t mind if we do.
