2012 Olympic non-events
Speaking of Olympics…
“Throughout the course of the 2012 Olympic fortnight, an alternative programme of events will be taking place in offices and homes across London.
“While these events enjoy no official status, they represent some of the most popular participation sports in the UK.
“This blog is an attempt to recognise and honour these under-appreciated events through a system of practical iconography.”
Jumping to conclusions
Wrestling with your conscience
Throwing a wobbly
Shooting yourself in the foot
Fencing stolen goods
Kicking yourself
Lifting a finger
Hat-trick worked with Nick Asbury, David Black, Steve Charker and Andrew Glazier on the project. More on the Olympic non-events 2012 blog.

LOL, this reminds me of the sorts of stuff we used to do at Minale Tattersfield. Design can be frivolus and fun.

Hahaha, I love it. Well illustrated by the stick man. These are some very inventive sports.
