a close shave…

So our second years really got into the spirit of things on Friday: Michael Duddle made us proud and didn't wimp out, Mark brought in his clippers and a razor, we all wore something red, and Brandon even made a big Deadmau5 head to attract some more attention to our cause! It was such a nice day, that we set up our barber shop outside… We had loads of fun, and raised nearly £50 in aid of Comic Relief…well done guys - you all deserve a slap on the head!!

A full photo album will hopefully surface on Facebook soon, so we can tag all your lovely faces!

monkeying around…

Sock Monkee, or Chris Sandlin, which is the name his mother gave him - is a U.S. based illustrator specialising in the craziest character driven illustrations and some great looking typography work. Most of this illustration work gets applied to t-shirts for some cool, independent clothing labels - there is also his very own line of t-shirts on the online shop page. First years may find this inspirational as a late addition to your NCFE & Unit 34 research documents, as well as giving you some ideas for how to apply your finished illustrations onto t-shirts in the coming couple of weeks. There is even a photo-shoot section, which you first years may also find helpful (use the Look Book link on Chris Sandlin's website)

You second years may just find the combinations of socks and monkee's and drawings nice to look at!!
