I’ve been employed to sell the devils work. I’ve branded him, not with irons, the pen is more permanent and now I’m illustrating his tale (and tail, either word works!)
It’s a recession, an appropriate time to sell my soul!

It’s an Instagram…
Anyone who has been around me the last few days will be aware of my Instagram obsession…I have never been one for taking pictures and only hold memories from most of the places I’ve been but last week in a stroke of pure genius I downloaded the Instagram app and I am hooked. Genuinely…
I’m sure I will bore anyone who follows this blog or the Held design twitter account with lots of instant images over the weeks, months and years to come…it’s a beautiful partnership…but it’s okay you can hide my account and I’ll never know!
Above are some of my recent memories!
(Just noticed the pictures make an “F” not on purpose but if anyone wants to read anything profound or interesting into that, please do, maybe it’s subconscious or a computer glitch, subconscious sounds better though!)
Go on Shoot the Bear…
Brilliant online advertising!
Phew…
Just a quick little post as pretty excited, just sent my biggest job to date to print and feeling a little relieved although still have to press pass it so not the end for my long suffering nails yet!!
It is a big run so should be around the country and in most homes this day two weeks so keep an eye out. I’ll post up some of the work when its released, can’t now for obvious reasons! Fingers crossed the printing goes smoothly!
Foundry Coming Soon…
Hi All,
Sorry have been running around after my head the last while and without a head its hard to blog! Anyway here’s some work I’ve been playing around with lately, its my first proper stab at photoshop outside of the WDL stuff which I have free reign on! Its simple stuff so far but fingers crossed I’ll be photoshop fit my the 2012!
The Foundry Waterford is opening next Monday the 14th of March, open 7 nights a week so check it out! They will also be updating their webpage with all details.
Honda Advert…”This Unpredictable Life”
Just a quick blog post as a little busy (good complaint!) Anyway just got this into my inbox and had to share. Watch it, the advert is brilliant, something a little dreamy and a dash of Disney about it!

Have a fill of Beans…
I saw this mans work on the internet and I knew I had to blog about him, it’s taken a while. I’d love to say that’s because I was jet setting with Brangelina, then stopped by Paris to visit Johnny and finally took at break at Buckingham Palace for a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit (it was a little soggy, I’m not sure they’re biscuit fans) before returning to my computer. Unfortunately if I was to say that it’d be a blatant lie and who am I if not honest!
So Kyle Bean is his name and I don’t think there is anything he cannot do with cardboard. He’s from Brighton and works freelance on craft models, props and art direction. His clients include BBC, editorial illustrations for the New York Times Magazine and shop window displays for Selfridges, Liberty and Hermes.
I especially love his Laundry Day Video which you can find here
Visit his site KyleBean.co.uk to view his portfolio, its worth the trip!
Louboutin Lookbook Spring Summer 2011
I just came across these images today, they are from the Louboutin Spring/Summer 2011 collection entitled Louboutin Spring Summer Tour by Khuong Nguyen. I think they are brilliant, very inventive and the shoes ain’t too bad either.
Only issue now is how to afford them?
A Big Blue Cock in Trafalgar Square…
Well I have always said when they do it in London they do it right!
Who wants a lady bathing in public or her haggard sister pushing a wheel barrow not to mention the over sized sewing needle, when you can have a bronzed boy on a rocking horse and a great big blue cockeral?
The next two commissions for London’s Trafalgar Square will include a bronze figure of a boy on a rocking horse by artists Elmgreen & Dragset and a large ultramarine cockerel by Katharina Fritsch…
Berlin and London-based artists Elmgreen & Dragset will unveil their sculpture “Powerless Structure” in 2012; while Fritsch’s sculpture “Hahn/Cock” will appear in 2013.
I am not one who professes to know much about public art outside of whether I like the piece or not. All art by nature is subjective and what I like is likely not what the person next to me will find arousing, so lets see how the cock fairs!
Happy Christmas from Held…

Here’s a photo I took earlier this week, it’s an amazing thing to see these little fellas and I feel privileged now to share it with you all…
Happy Christmas from all at Held (when I say all, it’s really me but all sounds better, more impressive don’t you agree?!)
