Tom is a clever man, who often uses name OldGuard. I used to be able to describe him as a designer, he's way more than that these days. So I will brand him with the new title of 'clever man of the internet'.

He puts comics over http://www.joedecie.com/ He had a great book out last year, you should take a look... http://www.blankslatebooks.co.uk/chalk-marks/the-accidental-salad/ Oh, and he's pretty good on twitter too, see... https://twitter.com/#!/joedecie

Bryce
Bryce Corbett is key member of Salle Pierre Lamy, he's the green one with the worm friend perturbing from his lobe. It's hard to describe what Salle Pierre Lamy are. Filmmakers? Podcasters? A Musical Act? In thinking about it, those three descriptions do a pretty good job. Check them out their website... http://sallepierrelamy.com/ and on facebook http://www.facebook.com/sallepierrelamy

TAW3 Part 1: Lunge Dolphin, Simon Misra, Edgar (Salle Pierre Lamy)

Lunge Dolphin
I was both surprised and overjoyed to find this revelation in my inbox. If you are unaware of Lunge you are in for a treat, the filmmaker, guru, provocateur and blackbelt (and pilot), has long since become part of my personal Christmas celebrations with his remarkable series of Yule time musical releases. You can follow him on TWITTER and be sure to click play a bunch of times over on his Vimeo .

Simon Misra
Simon is an art maker residing in the Manchester zone of the UK. You can look him up on Twitters and over on his website... http://simonmisra.com/



____________________________________________________Edgar (Salle Pierre Lamy)Edgar is a cat, he co-hosts hosts the Salle Pierre Lamy podcast, as well as a spree of short films and musical numbers. The kind of all round entertainer that the word really needs in these troubled times. You can find out more about Salle Pierre Lamy at their website http://sallepierrelamy.com/

Here's a pleseant video of him trying to find some glasses and old jazz records..

The Annotated Weekenders 3rd Annual Birthday Celebrations

It's birthday time, and to celebrate I would love to see your annotations.

To take part
Get hold of a copy of the Guardian on Saturday the 18th of February, draw/paint/collage/whatever all over the Weekend Magazine, scan or photograph it and send it to:

theannotatedweekender@gmail.com 

This is all well and good, but I live in a boat, or, more probably, a different country 
If you want to take part, but live outside UK, you can still get involved, why not doodle on the Weekend Magazines website, or take one of the regular characters and put them somewhere unexpected. 


Specifications
  • Up to three annotations per person, 
  • If you can save them at 500 pixels width, it would really help me out,
  • Try and send them in as soon as you can, I'll be posting them up each day next week, 
Thanks for taking part, here are some of my favourites from last year
