My Mousey Pictures





















So, we asked you all to send in pics of me and where I am living now. A big cheeesy thank you to everyone who contributed.
All the photos that I recieved generally fell into one of two main categories: The nice section, with me having fun and the not so nice section with me being abused. I found some of them very scary .....how did I end up being suck up a cats bottom? (Sorry Mark at BBH you don’t win a prize!!) Oh and Cathy at TBWA please stop using me as a voodoo doll, it’s not my fault!
Kelly even managed to get my photo taken with Love Island ‘celebrity’ Callum Best! Can anyone take a photo with a more famous celebrity?

Anyway congratulations to Jon @ Krow for this photo. I can’t really remember what happened that night......all I know is that the champagne was nice. The rest of the champagne is on its way to you. Mmmmm champagne.

Don't forget to click on the photos to make them bigger!

Mesh at Shoreditch House with Scrawl Collective
























Well this post is a bit later than it should be so apologises for that I've been struck down with really nasty throat infection, not nice :(
Anyway I went to the vet and he gave me some penicillin so I feel better now, yay!

On the 17th of this month Mesh minds teamed up with Scrawl Collective to create an evening of fun for the creative community at the super dooper cool Shoreditch House. So Louise Taylor (my very talented creator who hand-made 300 of me to send out to specially selected folk in the advertising world) and I thought we'd go along and check it out... oh get me!
On arrival we enjoyed a complimentary Ivan The Terrible vodka cocktail and then went and had a chat to the brilliant Scrawl Collective street artists Will Ainley, David Walker and David Dixon (Dist One) who were drawing bespoke illustrations live as we watched and selling them for a bargain price of £20, what a treat!

For those of you who haven't heard of Mesh Minds check them out at www.meshminds.com
They're a collaborative network connecting the arts and business worlds to promote investment in the arts.
They're an invitation only network (so not just any old Tom, Dick or Leicester!) so you'll have to try and find someone who's already in to recommend you failing that they do allow non-members to attend events for a slightly higher fee, next one is on the 16th May, quick get your ticket!

For those of you who don't know Scrawl Collective check them out as well www.scrawlcollective.co.uk
An eclectic mix of street artists whose styles vary enormously but one thing holding them together is their “Hand B4 Mouse” motto they all favour the hand made approach which gives them a raw urban edge.
They've always got cool exhibitions going on, they were in LA in Jan! So check out their website for the latest news.

We are 15 years old!























Wow can you believe it Three Blind Mice is 15 today, yes that's right those 2 blokes Andy and Chris set up their company on April fools day! Lunatics!
Get this if you think the company's name is rather silly they were going to call it Balloon!? Glad they didn't though as I'm really starting to enjoy this gig.
Anyway to celebrate we had a big yummy chocolate cake and some more of the bubbly stuff.
It was all really lovely, we were reminiscing about the old days until The Ginger one and Sellsy started a food fight! Mayhem followed and I got covered in chocolate (which was quite nice) then had to have my first bath (not so nice!).

Check out the pics - if you click on them they go big.
