THE ADVERT!!!

We have completed our very first advert. We were given the theme 'Beautiful' and this song by Francesca Battistelli.. This is what we came up with:



A very special thanks to all the girls who helped us make this! We really appreciate it.
Feel free to repost, comment etc!

So you may have noticed...

Our website has gone under a small 'face lift' of sorts. The twins and I had a super busy, super productive weekend making our most exciting stop motion to date, but perfection is hard work, let me tell you!!!

So when we got back from a wonderful day on location, (lake Como if you don't mind) we figured the blog could use a little work too.

WOW!

This funny old guy was chit-chatting with us on his way past!!!


Talking about the video, here are a few of our behind the scene shots from our eventful day by the lakeside!!! Keep your eyes peeled for more lovely still shots and THE ACTUAL STOP MOTION!!!!!! Excitement?? I thought so...

Soaking up a little bit of the delightful Spring sunshine

Como is the most beautiful place EVER!

A nice coffee break by the lake!

This beautiful girl let us take her picture!
The best is yet to come, let us promise you!!! We're really excited about this video! Can't wait to post it. Hopefully really soon!

Another bit of exciting news is that we're going to start working on a bilingual site. In a while you'll see our content packed pages translated or written in Italian.. Can't wait :)

Keep classy San Diego, as our beloved Ron would say!

Keeping things fresh..

It's been a while, and I apologise for the ridiculous lack of posting happening around these parts. Dim, Mil and I have been working on a really BIG EXCITING project, which we're really excited to share here! As you possibly may have read, we got asked to make a stop motion for some friends in England, it's going to be used as a sort of advert for a conference they're planning and they asked US to do it! So we've been brainstorming like CRAZY and on Friday I eventually had the breakthrough we've all been waiting for!!! We should have photos by this Saturday to share with you, and hopefully a finished video shortly!!

Here's a photo I took on Friday, yep I was HERE!!!!



In other news, one of my moleskine pages got reblogged over SEVEN THOUSAND times! woohoo!!! As a result we've launched
www.moleskinepages.tumblr.com where you can see our own original work, as well as loads of awesome reblogged stuff! Be sure to come and have a little look see.

And then a friend of ours sent me a link to her absolutely gorgeous art and illustration blog, china doll illustrations, which is also absolutely fab, a MUST SEE! Go have a look here

Another friend has a South African blog happening, really cool, be sure to check it out! Elephants and Easter..

Keep it classy san diego :)
More soon!

Christmas time and grain

Lots of grain.
These were from christmas that we never really got around to posting because we had to wait for ale to open her gift first.. (Ale would like to add it was the best gift ever, a homemade coffee table style book made by Dim and Mil!! Awesome!)









our birthday!

These were from our birthday on the 18th of january. Here are a few pictures from the japanese sushi restaurant we went to :)




The prawns were absolutely DE-LIGHT-FUL!


Ale took this fab shot.. 





The best part of the evening was that it was an all you can eat style restaurant! I didn't even know they existed anymore. I almost feel like we're stealing from them by eating so much!!! After stuffing our faces we came home to a yum dessert! Good times!

Leave Justin ALONE..

While I was browsing tumblr instead of studying (naturally) I came across a blog post that went somewhat along the lines of 'its not his fault he's rich and famous.. let the poor guy go on a date for his birthday, he looks like he's about to cry' and so on.. And all I could think of was the Leave Britney Alone video my friend showed me a while ago. If you're unfamiliar:

(I apologise for the bad language..)

Anyways, I guess it must suck to be stalked by paparazzi and harassed by annoying fans, but that's what comes with the territory.. 

The thief and the cobblers have some very very exciting news!!! We've been asked to do an advert for a conference thing in England for some friends of ours! We're so so excited, and looking forward to getting some ideas together this weekend!!! 

I found this photo on tumblr that I loved, and it kind of describes how I'm feeling lately... Life can be so overwhelming!

That's all at the moment..
If you thought February was a productive month here at TT&TC wait until you see what we've got planned for March..
You stay classy San Diego...
