"The Brixton Pound (B£) is money that sticks to Brixton. It’s designed to support Brixton businesses and encourage local trade and production. It’s a complementary currency, working alongside (not replacing) pounds sterling, for use by independent local shops and traders. The B£ gives local traders and customers the chance to get together to support each other and maintain the diversity of the high street and strengthen pride in Brixton."

"Bicycle" - Stunning Illustration by Ugo Gattoni
It's a gorgeously detailed 5 meter long illustration of a bike race in London by Ugo Gattoni Notable places in London are captured as the bicycle race passes through. Sites include St. Paul's Cathedral, Big Ben and Smithfield meat market.
I love that the pig's head is coming out of the market because I used to walk by it on my way to work and my lasting memory of the market was of a barrel of pigs heads and getting asked to leave because I was taking pictures.
"Bicycle is a giant leporello book by Ugo Gattoni and published by Nobrow PressOn his site he has other beautiful illustrations and examples of his work.
The original is a 5 meters long drawing about bicycles through the streets of London
Released in time for the London 2012 Olympics"
Bicycle is Available at Nabrow Press

Olympic Art and Issues
In honor of the opening game of the Olympics today, I thought I'd share some of my favorite Olympic art, video and issues of the last couple of weeks. In addition to the great art, and articles, be sure to watch the Boris Johnson video from Cassette boy.
Starting today, hopefully we can enjoy the sport as well.
