sky-wheels by Alec Finlay can currently be viewed at The Hatton Gallery here in Newcastle upon Tyne.  I collaborated with Alec during this project for a year throughout 2007/2008 making a piece we know as ‘sky-wheel’ – I set up a camera pointing at the Northumberland sky for 365 days in a waterproof housing to capture it’s varying shades of blues and greys, samples from which form the final piece.  As Alec writes on his site:

“This wheel refers to the day, week, month, season and year, with the final amalgamated year colour being completed on midsummer’s day 2008.”

I worked on this campaign for Desperados last year for Parisian ad agency Dufresne Corrigan Scarlett (their website is worth a look)…

…and I recently received these images of a new release of posters in the French capital…

…one more for you on a handsome kiosk from last year’s campaign:

In this business, it’s a treat to be able to examine one’s efforts on the way to work.  This morning was no exception cycling to my studio, passing four poster sites showing Diageo’s summer drinks campaign, which I have been working on for the last few weeks.

Here are two of them and, with 2000 printed, I guess you’ll be seeing them around too…
