DECEMBER... the busy month of the year

 

Traditional Christmas!

December is a busy month for all of us, and obviously the biggest event is Christmas. Ive been looking over some photography work which relates to Christmas and some of the art direction is fantastic... We all know that the traditional colours for Christmas are Red and Green & this photographer as gone no further than tradition, Visually stunning in my eyes... BOLD

& My Personal Favourite.....

Beano Comics

Dennis the Menace: 1980's
I've just been watching Dennis, the live version of Dennis the Menace and it made me think of the Beano franchise.

Its a little before my time, but I remember I used to read them when I was younger. My dad had loads of the originals from the 1980s and I loved them. Its a shame they dont still do them like this, the art direction of the retro Beano is fantastic...

I think that some of the newer Beano comics are too realistic. I know theyre still cartoon so that sounds rediculous, but looking back at the older more original comics, the drawings were so much simpler and less polished. To me that is what a comic book is all about, or it might aswell be a book with real actors in it.

The Festive Season is upon us!

Merry Christmas... Or is it?

Personally I think christmas is great, but when people are talking
 about it from the beginning of November it gets a little bit tedious.
The majority of us love the lights and the shopping and going to christmas
 markets, but when we have to be put through constant advertisements for
christmas and theyre all the same, and non of them are even entertaining,
 they all have one basic plan... to get money out of people!

Christmas is very commercialised & its a shame that people see it as a time
 to go crazy and simply spend money they havent even got.

Bring back the real christmas spirit!

Lady Gaga - X-Factor

Marry the Night



I used to enjoy watching X Factor when it first began, but now I personally think its more about the judges and a popularity contest, not about those who can actually sing!!!

I heard that Lady Gaga was on last weeks show so I watched something else until I knew she was on, and then turned over when she finished, because she was the only thing worth watching.

some may say that shes too strange and she gets alot of influence from older artists like Madonna, which may have some truth in it, however... she can sing and continuously create fantastic music!

her performance of Marry the Night on XFactor was amazing.
