Eve of WarPosted by: Beau Bo D'Or in Uncategorized, tags: Current Events, Images, PoliticsThe Iraq war is 4 years old and Tim at Bloggerheads is asking people to post anything they put on the web 4 years ago. Mine was a post on B3TA.com but the image disappeared as I moved servers. Here is the image (It is not me !):
The photo was sent to me by a war protestor who used my Gap For Kids anti-war poster in a demo in San Francisco. He and his friends emailed me a couple of weeks prior to the demo asking me if they could use it and if I had a high resolution image for them to use.

Germ Viral CompetitionPosted by: Beau Bo D'Or in Uncategorized, tags: Current Events, ImagesTime to get your skates on to enter this year’s Germ Viral Awards. I’ll be entering a couple of pics but competition will be tough this year with a greater awareness of the competition and an enlightened decision to encourage art students to enter. Copyright restrictions are very tough which will exclude a few classics unless the creator is prepared to pay a library for an image’s use (and for each time it is used). I think this year’s competition is of immense importance to viral work, even greater than last year’s as I think this will signify the legitimacy and maturity of the viral medium from what is seen by some as a purely tits and ass medium to one that can convey serious messages as well as humour. When Brian Sewell slagged of virals in The Independent as having “no intellectual foundation and being feeble rubbish.”, I believe he had only been exposed to the tits and ass virals that dominate some of the ‘top viral’ charts. However, the word ‘viral’ is about the distribution of whatever someone wants to create and not about the content. Enter the Channel 4/Boreme.com viral competition here - Link. I mentioned in a small interview for Channel 4’s website my respect for ‘traditional’ cartoonists and make the point that they have a greater creative freedom than those who may manipulate images. It may spell the death for aspiring viral creators like me, but it is good to see that some acknowledged traditional media talent have taken to the net as Morten Morland has done. - Link. I don’t see any reason they can’t decimate the opposition by entering the Germ competition, not for the prizes, but to increase awareness of their work and that of the medium.

Cash For Honours - “Shut It You Slag!”Posted by: Beau Bo D'Or in Uncategorized, tags: Cash For Honours, Current Events, David Abrahams, donation street, Images, PoliticsWhile searching for other images in a picture library I use, I came across this classic image that I just had to tweak. If any newspaper editor wants to know the source of the original image, please get in touch. I reckon it’s a gem without any retouching but I just couldn’t stop myself.
I’m sure everyone in The U.K. remembers The Sweeney and the cast but just in case you don’t remember Van Der Valk, the guy on the far right is Barry Foster who played the lead role in the detective series based in Amsterdam.

Tony Blair and Catherine Tate On Comic ReliefPosted by: Beau Bo D'Or in Uncategorized, tags: Current Events, Images, Politics, Tony BlairForgive the reposting of this image - let’s call it a BBC repeat. I’m still taking antacid after seeing our leader do so much for the ikkle, likkle children.
God knows how Catherine Tate was roped into helping out the real charity Tony Blair was concerned about - himself. |
