Liu Bolin has produced some more great self-portraits for the series Hidden Cities. The latest work brought back an advertising campaign that I had seen around London either early last year or the year before. The series stood out to me because the reference to Liu Bolin series of work. I only knew this because of being at university at the time and stumbling upon him during research for a project I had in mind (which never materialized in the end), the series I felt was a great way to advertise The Prince's Trust help to the young, with a tag-line "Lost Generation" and from afar an urban landscape image that when viewed more closely you start to see this lost, invisible and upset individual materialize in front of you. When looking for this series I stumbled across a large amount of ad campaigns that have taken direct influence from Liu Bolin, from sports to alcohol and as mentioned the lost generation. With all the campaigns that I have found none have used Liu Bolin himself to create them, except one from Ford, which has a great post on Liu Bolin and how he goes about creating these great pieces of Modern Art.

Time For Some Political Music
I have always been into music, unfortunately I am not musically talented, so these wont be videos of me play guitar or singing. What I do like on the other hand is a good tune or two that have meaning behind them, a point on a political, social or economical issue. These sort tracks have been missing from the charts, with No.1 hit singles like this "Hey, I just met you, And this is crazy, But here's my number, So call me, maybe?" What I am hoping for is more tracks like the following by Plan B to hit the air waves, music that questions current situations happening through out the world. I have included two more examples of this that haven't made the air waves or the television screen. These videos are not safe for work or for young ears. Enough of me talking hope you enjoy.
