This weekend I decided to turn off the TV, power down the Mac and just sit and listen to some music. This doesn't sound too ground-breaking does it, but listening to music for pure pleasure rather than to break creepy office silence, drown out your pounding heart as you run around the block or to act as the soundtrack to alcohol fuelled nonsense is a novel concept whilst other more modern pursuits vie for your attention.

If you take the time to really listen to an album, from start to finish - even if it's one that you are familiar with I am sure that you'll find it a rewarding experience as I did. I found that when I was done, my creative spirit had been enriched and I set about doing some sketching - which is something I always mean to do more of.

These examples won't win us any clients I suspect, but I thought I'd share them with you anyway just because. Click on each one to get a larger version.
