Cheek-tears (for Laura)

This music video was on in a pub the other day - and I noticed the sobbing singer's mascara is smeared into points from the centres of her eyes. This launched me into a crazed tirade on one of my pet frustrations - when actors cry on-screen and their tears fall straight down the centre of each cheek. I tend to get quite into my films, but there's nothing like cheek-tears to ruin the moment. Where are these people's tear-ducts supposed to be?!

Cakeman



















Bananaman's less healthy cousin.
He just has to be wary of birds and the rain.

Bananaman



















Unfortunately, he has to hold his
head up to stop himself toppling over.

Our new coins...

This is really bad news.
These new coins will start circulating throughout the year. I do actually really like the designs - thanks Matthew Dent.
However I foresee hours of my time wasted;
1) trying to collect (and not spend) one of each
2) arranging them slowly and painfully to make the shield. A lot.
Damn you Matthew Dent.







Question: is it necessary for (type) designers to have spelling and grammar skills these days?
Above is just an example - I'm sure (well, hoping) it's been accidentally misquoted, or maybe written in a hurry and not proof-read.
All grammatic pedantry aside I like the quotation :)
