Really enjoyed Mr D Lama’s quote on the radio this morning. At blu inc we are not ones for huge Athena posters of dolphins with life affirming, Alan Partridge stylee quotes. But this one is a corker: when asked what surprised the Dali Lama most about humanity, he said:

“Man (not in a laid back type way but the species). Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Rings a bell?

…and here’s the full 9 minutes and 36 seconds of Dean Chalkley‘s sublime Young Souls.

This summer Bristol plays host to the most ambitious permanent street art project ever to take place in the UK, called ‘See No Evil‘. Organisers have already announced New York based muralists, Tats Cru whose aerosol based work is dubbed to have ‘changed the perception of graffiti as art’ and LA artist El Mac whose work is prolific across every continent. These graffiti legends will join artists from Holland, Spain, Brazil and the UK, each bringing their completely unique styles to Bristol.
