Six Eight Kafe's First Birthday Party

I mentioned before about this event. When I got there it was so packed! We were given complimentary champagne when we first arrive and free lattes throughout the night. I was told the coffee cocktails were delicious. I am not a fan of coffee cocktails so I had to take their word for it.

All in all the night was really lovely. Great entertainment, amazing people and delicious coffee (for free!). It was a friday night well spent.

(you can see me enjoying a good conversation with my friend Alex in the video)

Where's Wally?

Can you spot me?

As a regular customer I am honoured that they put me in their video. How awesome is that?

Tomorrow they will be celebrating their first year anniversary. I have been looking forward to it for a while now but unfortunately I've gotten myself an eye infection so not too sure if I will be able to attend but fingers crossed it'll get better by tomorrow afternoon!

Hope everyone is having a lovely week xx

Photoshoot

If you had read this post, I mentioned I was approached by a photographer at my regular cafe and asked if he could take pictures of me.

As promised here are some of the photos from the shoot.

It was quite funny really, he asked me to do an angry pose, and I laughed because when I am asked to look angry I find it hilarious. I am immature like that.

This is a failed attempt at an 'attitude' pose. 

and last but not least my crouching tiger, hidden dragon pose.

He has to choose one to submit for the Birmingham Loves Photographers Challenge. Which one do you think is the best one out of all?

Kristian Jones

If you have read my past posts you would know that I sometimes help curate at six eight kafe. This time it was the work of a local birmingham artist named Kristian Jones who I have had the pleasure of meeting.

I loved his work so much I took three of his prints and two badges (they were free) at his launch.

These pictures don't do his work any justice so please go have a look at his portfolio. Here are some of my favourites.

I have the last print and the two from the first picture. I am looking forward to putting them up!

Kristian is not only an illustrator, he is also a full time graphic designer and he used to be a lead singer of a band called Sea Fields. Unfortunately the band broke up last year which is a shame cos I had a listen and I thought they were pretty good.

I am a fan.

If you love The Smiths then you'll definitely appreciate this.

What do you think of his art and music?

Delayed photos

Remember the live art show i attended?

Here are the photos from the day. Sorry it's a tad late, my camera died after two shots so I had to use a friend's camera and to be honest I forgot about it until the photos were posted up. Oops.

Enjoy.
