magpie

one from the sketchbook, work in progress.

quiet

no news for a week or so, spent the whole of last week doing nothing at all. starting work on a couple of new projects now, so more updates in the next few days.

death before distemper

a couple of photos from the dc recordings party at phonica last night. met the legendary j saul kane for the first time.. sleeves by the super talented la boca, whose work was on show for the first time ever apparently.

french

2 pics for a french magazine, these might have missed the deadline.

one more

just finished another editorial piece, don't watch the handbag..

photos

some random photos from my phone.

more editorial

here's a new one, gonna be in arena magazine around sept/oct i think. this one took me forever, larger version will be up on my site at next update.

t-shirts / posters

i'm getting a lot of requests for t-shirts and posters, so a quick note about this - t-shirts will be available from my site soon, i am working on this now, and some very limited edition posters and prints will be available from a new site, which big active will be launching really soon. i will do a mailout about both of these things when they're ready to go, so email me if you want to know more.

small thing

just a miniscule part of something im working on. this is the only part i like so far.

blag

took part in a small q&a thing with sally and sarah from blag magazine, look out for it in the next issue.
(apologies for the shit photo, all the others are blurry)

giant robot lives again

back in his element, making public appearences and generally being looked after by gundammad .

interview

claudio parentela interviewed me, click on pic below if you wanna read it. the site also features an interview with the super talented farmerbob, check the archives.

friday night..

..and i'm sitting at home working.

forgot

forgot to put this up on my site, done for greenpeace a while back. not one of my favourites anyway.

book

this turned up recently, published by AroundEurope, has some of my stuff in it.

giant robot nightmare

sold my giant robot a little while ago, was quite sad to see it go, and then was gutted to hear that the shit courier company smashed it to pieces by accident, it really was broken beyond repair.
or so i thought. the people who bought it just emailed me to say they've fixed him, it's a miracle. he's never looked better.

more new work

some other new stuff i've been up to - look out for the next issue of arena magazine, i have a few illustrations in there, the best one is probably the pug with a boner, good subject matter..

also a piece in the telegraph magazine (i think) about budapest 1956, coming out 13.08.06, had to get it done last night because of 2 other deadlines next monday, hectic hectic hectic..

i'm late getting stuff in for an exhibition in antwerp, and i'm also late getting stuff over to rome for a solo show in spetember, more about that here nearer to the time.

new work

work has been fuckin hectic recently.
just finished a big campaign for wk/nike, should be all over london soon. for those who know the stuff i did for span, this is basically a huge but less angry version of that. the teaser is now on the imax, and all over buses and tube stations across london, look out for it. these photos are by lucy at wk, hope she doesnt mind me posting them up here.

back again..

a bit of info about this blog for those who haven't seen it before - this was my diary while i was driving around europe last year, if you wanna see all the pictures and read whatever was going thru my head at the time, it's all here, have a look. from now on i'm gonna start using this blog as a news page, because i am generally too busy to update my site and because of that, the old news page on there wasn't updated for something like 3 years, which is beyond a joke. if you've come here from myspace, you can check my portfolio at http://www.davidfoldvari.co.uk and at http://www.bigactive.com.

luxemboring

i'm in luxemburg. it's empty. where is everyone?
they're not here:

they're not here either:

they're not here either:

ah there's someone! no wait, it's just a stuffed owl.

the luxemburg art scene is vibrant:

seriously where is everyone? i don't know. i give up and order a schnitzel.

i met an irish guy at the hostel who's been here a while, so we're gonna go find some bars later, hopefully things will pick up a bit.

more switzerland..

..because i like it in switzerland.

right now im in the nice but completely dull city of geneva, and it's cold and foggy. but the bikes are free so i've been riding around the city all day.


it's been a really good few days, i found an absolutely beautiful place to stay in the mountains for the last 3 or 4 days, made lots of friends, it's been very difficult to leave. i went to zurich for a night, and went back to gryon for another day and night just because i liked it so much up there. i only left this morning because the weather is starting to get worse. i could write loads about it but i'm sitting in starbucks and it's annoying the fuck out of me so here are the photos instead.
this is "chalet martin", it's cheap and very cool.

this is the view from the window of the hostel. (really.)

fire!

jade & trang from san diego, rick from cant remember where in the usa

sam from america. americans and australians are everywhere

big dinner party last night

he made all the food

emelie from sveeden

french dude

lama in the garden. they piss for around 5 minutes at a time, i timed it.

cute little people

i find a cat

"Lager Bier Hell"


and some photos from zurich, which was another cool city.

the view from the hostel was lovely

this dog is pissing.

and now he wants my sandwich.

i find a bar called "con tiki", and get beaten by EVERYONE at table football. they're way too good at this is zurich.

i get beaten by girls - the shame. (my partner wasn't very good. but still.)

someone's ass.

cant remember this guy's name.

in zurich, snorting this is apparently a tradition. it's like snuff and tiger balm all at the same time. mm tasty. not doing that again.

some hot men for the ladies.

this one is from the other day in interlaken, i just forgot to post it. i beat everyone there, including the weird tibetans who kept calling me "gi joe".

more interlaken

some more schnitzel eating and mountain stuff from today.
plus some old people hanging out by a sex shop.
